Cookies are small text files that contain information about specific website settings. Websites store cookies on devices that connect a user to the Internet, identify individual devices, and set user preferences. Websites use cookies to ascertain whether a user has visited before. Advanced applications can use these files to customize individual settings. Saving cookies is fully controlled by browser settings – a user can restrict or disable storing these files.

Our website uses Google’s marketing and remarketing services to collect information about user behaviour for marketing and advertising purposes. For displaying adverts we use systems such as Adform, Heap, and Facebook Pixel. As such data cannot be used to personally identify a user, adverts are not specifically displayed to a person but rather to the cookie owner.
