Use of cookies
A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user's web browser while a user is browsing a website. When the user browses the same website in the future, the data stored in the cookie is sent back to the website by the browser to notify the website of the user's previous activity. This allows us to enhance your experience on the site.
Cookies cannot carry viruses or install malware on your computer. We don't use them to store any sensitive data such as passwords or financial informations.
