Cookies.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive.

The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
Like most companies, we use traffic log cookies and similar tools such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage to identify what information is being used and accessed by our users. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to our users. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with better services, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
We may invite advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to you which may use cookies or similar tools placed by us or the third party.
