To make this website work properly, and to provide the most relevant products and services to our site visitors and members, we place small data files called cookies on your device. This statement provides you with information about cookies and how to control them for this website.

This document is an integral and substantial part of the Privacy policy, and the information notice contained within complies with the provisions set out by applicable data protection and data privacy laws and regulations, including the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR 2016/679), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the “UK GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018, the e-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended and in force and any other relevant opinions and guidelines issued by competent data protection authorities in the United Kingdom.

What is a cookie

A cookie is a small file, typically consisting of letters and numbers, downloaded onto a device when the user accesses a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit. Cookies are useful because they improve the website’s functionality and overall performance and provide the user with more personalized experience. They also help us to understand how visitors are using our website and the services provided therein.

For some time, the use of cookies and similar technologies has been commonplace. Cookies are particularly important in the provision of many online services. Using such technologies is not, therefore, prohibited by the law, but they do require that people are well informed in advance about the use of cookies installed on a website and are given the choice to directly accept all cookies, or if they wish, to customize their cookies preferences.

Cookies that we use

There are two broad categories of cookies: First-party cookies (served directly by us to your device) and third-party cookies (served by a third party, e.g., Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn).

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “persistent cookies,” meaning that they are saved after your browser is closed. When you open your browser and browse the internet again, persistent cookies can be used by the website to recognize your computer.

This website uses the following cookies’ categories:

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
  2. Performance Cookies
  3. Functionality Cookies

For more detailed information on the specific cookies installed per each category, please visit the Privacy Preference Center:

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

In addition, our logs help us to record the type of browser and operating system you use and other information about your online visit, such as the URL from which you reached our website and the date and time of your visit.

These data are stored exclusively for the time necessary to ensure the security of networks, information and services from accidental events or illegal or malicious actions that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of the stored or transmitted data.
