What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data files of information that a website or mobile application transfers to your hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you. Although cookies do identify a user’s device, cookies do not personally identify users.

Additionally, mobile devices may use other tracking files which are similar to cookies (for example iOS devices use Apple’s ‘identifier for advertisers’ (IDFA) and Android devices use Google’s Android ID). In the context of tracking within an App, the concept of a cookie will include an IDFA and an Android ID for the purpose of this Cookie Policy.

 

Why we use cookies

Our website and App use cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to improve our website and App and to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website or use our App.
