Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services. 


A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are very helpful and can be used for various purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences, and making the interaction between you and our Services quicker and easier.



The Site uses the following types of cookies:

  • 'Session Cookies' are stored only temporarily during a browsing session to allow regular use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed;
  • 'Persistent cookies ' are read only by the Site, saved on your computer for a fixed period, and not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits, for example, to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in;
  • 'Third-party cookies,' which are set by other online services that run content on the page you are viewing, such as third-party analytics companies that monitor and analyze our web access.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies we do not own or control or to individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including any of the third parties to which we may disclose information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. 

How do we safeguard your information?

We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of the information we collect and retain and prevent unauthorized use of any such information.
