How we use cookie files
Cookies are small text files which most websites that you
visit use, by placing them on your computer or device. They are
stored on your device's hard drive or storage through
your web browser and contain a unique number which identifies your
visit, but not personal data.
Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work more
efficiently or to provide crucial functionality, as well as to
provide certain bits of information to the owners of the site.
Most web browsers, including on mobile
devices, allow you decide whether you'd like to allow cookies
to be used or not. For more information, use the 'help'
portion of your browser which should tell you how to configure
your browser to refuse cookies. You can also delete
existing cookies and set options to notify you when you
receive a new cookie on your machine. Please remember though,
that by turning off cookies you may make the website less efficient
and some services may not function properly.

Google Analytics service, which sets its own
cookie, to help us monitor visitors' movement from page
