- What are the cookies and local data storage (“cookies” and similar technologies)?
“Cookies” are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you access websites. First-party cookies are those set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are those cookies that are used by domains other than the website you are visiting.
Like cookies, local storage technology, if used, allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is most often persistent and, unlike cookies, data in local storage is not automatically transferred over the internet each time the website that stored it is visited.

We use cookies and similar technologies on our Website to:
improve the performance of relevant websites and the user experience,
measure exposure to ads and online media by identifying when, how often, on which websites certain online ads, media and other content are displayed on your device.
