Cookie Policy

Cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “Cookies”) are files with small amounts of information that are downloaded to any internet-enabled device – such as your computer, smartphone or tablet – when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the website from which they originated on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies perform many different and useful jobs, such as remembering your preferences, generally improving your “online” experience and helping us to offer you the best products and services.

There are many types of Cookies. They all work the same way, but have minor differences. For a detailed list of Cookies used on our websites, please see the relevant section below.

We and our service providers use cookies when a user uses our website in order to identify your web browsing program, not you personally, every time you access our website. Cookies tell us which web pages you visit and how often. We use that information to increase the usefulness of our website – primarily for technical reasons, such as better site navigation. Additionally, we use website plug-ins which store information in your local browser to better understand website analytics.  This information is deleted when you close your browser.

Our website also uses cookies to manage online advertising programs. Cookies track your browser so that they are always recognized when you access other web pages. Our advertising management system enables the use of these pixel files and cookies to provide us with advertising information when you access our website. We also use pixel files to determine when you opened a promotional offer and other interactions related to that promotional offer, for instance, when you click on the offered link. These pixel files are usually valid for a certain number of days and are enabled by our ad management provider.

We analyse how the website is used and how often it is visited (for instance, our website can contain proprietary measurement software that will enable us to contribute to market research). When you visit our website, some of the “cookies” will be targeted “cookies”, so that we can see what types of websites interest you. After that, we can place advertisements based on your interests to your internet browser. For instance, if you read a lot about food and drinks, we will show you advertisements about food and drinks.

Cookies further allow us to select advertisements or offers which will most likely appeal to you, to display to you while you use online services or to send you marketing messages. We also use cookies to track responses to online advertisements and marketing messages. Cookies help us display an advertisement that will be interesting to you, as well as to control how many times you see it and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaign.

We also use cookies to collect anonymous, aggregate statistics that enable us to understand how people use our website and to help us improve its structure and content, and also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaign on our and external websites.
