We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and personal information of our website visitors and any other person or organisation that interacts with our company. In this policy, we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.

What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The information stored therein may be returned to our servers or the servers of the relevant third parties during a subsequent visit.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
