“Cookies” are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. First-party cookies are those set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies used by domains other than the website you are visiting.
Like “cookies”, local storage technology, where used, allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is usually persistent and, unlike “cookies”, data in local storage is not automatically transferred over the internet each time you visit the website that stored it.
We use “cookies” and similar technologies on our Website in order to:
Our Website may use the following types of “cookies”:
(1) Essential cookies:
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to perform its functions. We use these “cookies”, for example, in the following cases:
* to verify the authenticity and identity of our users when they use our Site, so that we can provide our services;
* so that we can fulfil our obligations and maintain the security of our services.
(2) Performance and functionality cookies:
These cookies are not strictly necessary, but they allow us to personalise your online experience with our web pages. We use these cookies, for example:
* to remember your preferences, so you don’t have to re-enter information you have already provided (for example, when entering your login details for our services);
(3) Advertising cookies.
We use these cookies, for example:
* to obtain information about how you use our web pages, such as the pages you visit or how you respond to advertisements, in order to provide you with advertisements tailored to you;
* to determine which are the most popular parts of our Sites;
* to monitor the use of our services and our Sites (frequency and time);
* to monitor the success of a product;
* to determine how often you and other users visit our Sites;
These cookies often aim to deliver advertisements tailored to you — both on our Sites and elsewhere. This type of advertising is known as “interest-based advertising”. Many of these cookies belong to our service providers.
(4) Session cookies:
We may also use session cookies, for example:
* to allow you to move between the pages of our Site without having to log in again. This practice is known as “single sign-on”;
* to recognise you when you return to our Site to use our services;
* to record test answers in order to show your result;
* to save the answers to a survey form you have completed once (so you don’t have to fill it in repeatedly).
How do we use cookies?
We use information from cookies to make our web pages more pleasant and easier to use, and to provide you with a personalised experience on our site.
We also use some third-party cookies as part of our services. These cookies are managed by the respective sites and are not controlled by us. Some third-party cookies we use can be disabled through your browser’s general settings. For others, you need to visit the relevant sites and follow the instructions provided.
You can choose whether or not to accept cookies. If you want to know when your computer receives a cookie, you can set your browser to notify you. This gives you the option to accept or refuse a cookie. Your computer can be set to reject all cookies. To find out how to do this, visit aboutcookies.org. Please note that browser changes that disable cookies will prevent parts of our Sites from functioning properly, including the “login” and “playback” functions.
Any future changes to our Cookie Policy will be published on this page. All changes take effect immediately, except for existing customers, for whom they take effect 30 days after publication, unless stated otherwise.
Yes, you can change your browser’s privacy settings to block all “cookies”; however, this may seriously affect the functionality of the website and your use of it, as many websites may not work properly. Your browser may allow you to delete all “cookies” when you close it. With this option, however, persistent “cookies” that store your preferences and personalised settings on websites you visit regularly are also deleted. You may be able to keep the “cookies” you want, as your browser may let you specify which sites are always or never allowed to use “cookies”.
