Cookies Policy
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful, and reliable. Where services are delivered on the Internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or tablet. These include small files known as cookies or tracking technologies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
These pieces of information are used to improve our services to you, including:
1. enabling a service to recognize your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task;
2. recognizing that you may already have given a user name and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested;
3. measuring how many people are using our services, so they can be made easier to use and to ensure enough capacity.
You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about them through Internet browser cookies - what they are and how to manage them.
