1. What are cookies and how do they work?

Cookies are small data files stored in your browser and on your device. Whenever you visit our Site, these files are downloaded to your browser folder or the hard drive of your computer, tablet, or smartphone (collectively referred to as your "device").

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our Site. First-party cookies are set directly by our Site and transmit information solely to us. In contrast, third-party cookies are set by external organisations and may share cookie-related information with those entities. Should our use of cookies change in the future, we will update this Policy accordingly and ensure users are informed in advance of any significant changes.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser, whereas persistent cookies remain on your browser after it is closed. For example, a persistent cookie might track whether you are a new or returning visitor to the Site.
