In order to provide personalized and relevant services through our website, there is a need for technology to save and store information about your use of it. For this, we sometimes need to save small data files on users’ devices. This is done with the help of so-called cookies.
What are cookies
These are small text files containing small amounts of information that are saved on your computer, mobile or other device or in your web browser’s memory. These cookies help our site recognize you and store information about your user preferences / username, language, whether you have accepted our cookie policy, or what cookie settings you have selected, and other display settings /. This way you don’t have to enter them every time you visit the site or switch from one page to another. Cookies themselves do not contain any personal information and do not identify Internet users personally, serving only as an identifier of a device.
