Cookies are used to achieve two goals. The first is to provide us with the capability to personalize information for certain segments of our customer base. Secondly, in some instances, cookies are used to allow us the opportunity to associate individual customers with their information profiles.
A cookie is a series of data characters that, when programmed into a website, is placed by the web server into the browser’s application folder on your computer. Once placed onto your machine, the cookie will allow the website to “recognize” you as a unique individual.
‘Yes’, cookies can be removed from your hard drive. Also, depending on what type of web browser and what browser version you are using, you may be able to change the properties on your cookie file so that cookies are not used or saved. Please check with your browser provider for more information on removing cookies.
You can also prevent your browser from accepting new cookies.
As with ‘processing’ we require your ‘consent’ prior to implementing Cookies on our website, unless doing so is strictly necessary for carrying out our basic functions in complying with the services we’ve undertaken to provide you with. You will be deemed to have given such ‘consent’ by using our website.
