c. we do not use any website cookies to track your activity in the generation of third-party revenue or any other activity that would be considered intrusive to your activity on this website
d. a cookie is a small file that asks for permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. As soon as you have given your consent, the file is added, and the cookie helps to analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by collecting and remembering information about your preferences
e. we use traffic cookies to identify the pages used. This helps us to analyse data about web page traffic and to improve our website in order to adapt it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes, and then the data is deleted from the system
Generally speaking, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by allowing us to monitor which pages you find useful, and which are not. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you, except for the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
10 CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES BY LEVEL OF INTRUSIVENESS
a. INTRUSIVENESS LEVEL: ZERO
All cookies that have the sole purpose of making the site work. They are always at the login and for the most part they are session cookies. They are usually used only to allow navigation on the site, such as managing a persistent user session on several pages. These are cookies that would be subject to the “strictly necessary” exemption for consent in the regulations.
This site uses cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function.
b. LEVEL OF INTRUSIVENESS : LOW
These are cookies designed to improve the primary user experience on the site or to help measure the performance of the site. Google Analytics cookies fall into this category which is a technology that allows the tracking of website visitor numbers and areas of the website used by visitors. This information is provided by software provided by Google. This category is always at login and may include session and persistent cookies. These cookies have a lifespan of more than 30 days and can be deleted from your browser at any time.
This website uses “Intrusively Low” Google Analytics cookies to inform website owners about traffic and visitor numbers and related information such as the use of web page content.
c. LEVEL OF INTRUSIVENESS: MEDIUM
These are cookies that can be used to store more personally identifiable information or that can be used for limited tracking across multiple sites. This category also includes login cookies that track or control the user’s experience on a site, in a way that may not be obvious to or under the user’s control. Especially if it is a persistent cookie that can do this during several visits. A cookie that allows a website to present content based on previous visits made by that user or personal information would be a good example. Cookies used by many types of social media services, and identified by share buttons, fall into this category. This is because they are only able to track a user if they have previously logged in and accepted their terms and conditions, so they do not affect all visitors. This also includes third-party cookies that allow certain types of plug-ins and widgets to be added to a site to improve user functionality, but do not identify visitors or tracking behaviour on other domains, unless they have chosen or signed directly with that provider. The Twitter Follow button is a good example. It can set cookies used for tracking and profiling users, but only if that user has a Twitter account.
This website uses cookies that are “Medium Intrusive” to inform the visitor of previous pages viewed. This information is anonymous to the owners of the site and is a feature that allows easier navigation of the site. In addition, links to social media services on our website (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube) only deploy third-party cookies if you are already registered for these services and are logged in to these services
d. LEVEL OF INTRUSIVENESS: HIGH
All cookies that are primarily intended to track and record the interests of visitors, without any kind of prior consent, and to aggregate this data on sites for the benefit of third parties would fall into this category. This would include all types of cookies served by online advertising and also cookies set by the provision of embedded content that is not directly related to advertising. Embedded YouTube videos or Google Maps set and retrieve cookies that could be used to track users across multiple sites, even if they’re not used to serve ads. The vast majority of third-party cookies fall into this category.
This website does not directly deploy “High Intrusive” cookies in its source code. We do not deploy any third-party cookies that are sold or provided directly to third parties. Any built-in third-party technology, such as a YouTube video, has been set to “enable enhanced privacy mode,” meaning no intrusive cookies are deployed
