- Cookies: We and our third-party service providers collect information from you by using cookies. A cookie is a small file stored on a user’s computer hard drive containing information about the user. The cookie helps us analyze web traffic or informs you about your use of a particular website.

Some of these cookies may be connected to third-party companies or websites. The terms of use of such cookies are governed by this Policy and the privacy policy of the relevant third-party company or website.
