• Cookies: Our Services may use "cookies" and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies"). Cookies are small text files that this Website sends to your computer for record-keeping purposes, and this information is stored in a file on your computer's hard drive. Cookies make web browsing easier by saving your preferences so that we can use them to improve your next visit to our Website.

• One of the purposes of cookies is to simplify the use of the Website. A cookie may store, for example, information relating to a user's login, so that you do not have to log in again later.

• Cookies can be of the "permanent" or "temporary" (or "session") type. A permanent cookie retains the user's preferences for a particular Website and enables those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions. It is also valid until the set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before this date). A temporary cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user's session, when the browser is closed.
