Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site, for example, remembering your preferences, counting the number of people looking at a website, or recognising a user’s device. We use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a functional website and to give you a more personalised service. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

A tracking pixel is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an e-mail that communicates to us whether you viewed an email that we sent you or visited a certain page on our Site. A clear GIF may enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information we hold about you.
