Third-party cookies
Along with our own cookies, we may also use cookies from third-party providers to gather usage statistics of the Service, display advertisements on and through the Service, and perform other related functions. These third-party cookies are subject to their own privacy policies and may be used to track your activity across different websites and services. We do not control the use of these cookies and are not responsible for their content or privacy practises. However, we make every effort to ensure that we only work with trusted third-party providers that comply with applicable laws and regulations.

What are your choices regarding cookies?
Many people may have concerns about websites storing information on their computer or mobile device, especially when this information is being used by third-party entities without their knowledge or consent. While the practise of collecting and using cookies is generally harmless, some users may not want to see targeted advertising or have their online behaviour tracked.
Users do have some control over cookies. One option is to modify browser settings to receive notifications when cookies are sent or to refuse cookies altogether. This can typically be done by accessing the browser's Help function or visiting sites such as www.aboutcookies.org for guidance. If you use the Internet Explorer browser, find out more info HERE . If you use Firefox, see the information HERE . If you are using Safari, see HERE .
It's important to keep in mind that restricting the use of cookies may have an impact on the functionality of the website. For example, users may not be able to save items to their shopping cart or access personalised content. Nevertheless, the option is available to users who want greater control over their online privacy.
Another option is to use the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. When enabled, this feature sends a signal to websites asking them not to track a user's browsing behaviour. However, it's important to note that this website currently does not respond to DNT requests. Users can still opt-out of tracking on this website, including analytics, by adjusting their cookie settings.
It's worth noting that there is currently no uniform standard for interpreting DNT requests and what actions websites and third parties should take in response. As such, this website will continue to monitor developments in this area and may adopt a DNT standard in the future if deemed appropriate.
How long do we store cookies on your device?
At our website, we use two types of cookies, temporary and persistent, which have different durations of storage on your device. Temporary cookies are essential to ensure uninterrupted browsing and may also be used for internal reporting purposes. These cookies do not store any information on your hard drive after your browsing session ends. On the other hand, persistent cookies are used for a longer period of time and are primarily aimed at improving your experience on our website. Analytics cookies and some third-party cookies are examples of persistent cookies. They help us and third parties understand visitors' browsing behaviour over a longer period of time, providing additional features related to your use of the website and content you have saved or stored through them. They may also be used for advertising and marketing purposes. Depending on their function, these cookies can persist for different lengths of time ranging from several hours to years. Unlike temporary cookies, persistent cookies will remain stored on your device even after your browsing session ends, allowing us or third parties to recognise your device when you start a new browsing session.
