Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to collect data from your device. Cookies are small text files that store information and recognize your browser. They serve various purposes like improving navigation, personalizing your experience, analysing usage, saving preferences, verifying identity, and enabling targeted ads. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stay longer (persistent cookies). Preferences apply only to the specific device/browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect functionality, and some cookies are essential and opted out.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
