2.1 Introduction
Our website uses cookies. By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies by the terms of this policy.
2.2 About cookies
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Web servers can use cookies to identify and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website. Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the 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.
2.3 Third-party and analytics cookies
When you use our website, you may also be sent third-party cookies. In addition, our service providers may send you cookies. They may use the information they obtain from your use of their cookies:
a to track your browser across multiple websites;
b to build a profile of your web surfing and target advertisements that may interest you. Besides, we use Google Analytics to analyze the utilization of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use using cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the utilization of the site. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. We also use the remarketing option of Google AdWords, which allows us to provide you with relevant ads on various websites after you have left our site. Google's advertising policies & principles can be seen here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ads/.
2.4 Cookies and personal information
Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.5 Blocking cookies
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer version 9, you can block cookies using the cookie handling override settings available by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy", and then "Advanced"; b in Firefox version 16, you can block all cookies by clicking "Tools", "Options", "Privacy", selecting "Use custom settings for history" from the drop-down menu, and unticking "Accept cookies from sites"; and c in Chrome version 23, you can block all cookies by accessing the "Customize and control" menu, and click "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Content settings", and then selecting "Block sites from setting any data" under the "Cookies" heading. Blocking all cookies will, however, harm the usability of many websites. For example, if you block cookies, you might not be able to use all the features on this site.
2.6 Deleting cookies
You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer. For example, in Internet Explorer version 9, you must manually delete cookie files; you can find instructions for doing so at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835; b in Firefox version 16, you can delete cookies by clicking "Tools", "Options", "Privacy", and then "Show Cookies", and then click "Remove All Cookies"; and c in Chrome version 23, you can delete all cookies by accessing the "Customize and control" menu, and click "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Clear browsing data", and then selecting "Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data" before clicking "Clear browsing data".
