Why do we use cookies?

Strictly Necessary

Strictly necessary cookies are commonly known for their significant usage which enables the website visitor to skim through the servicing website freely while using the provided features embedded in the secured areas.

  2. The cookies ensure that the correct service of the website is being rendered to the visitor in case of any website modification.
  3. The cookies are essential for security reasons.

Performance

Performance cookies function by accumulating information regarding how the website is being used without collecting any identifiable information. For instance, the amount of time visited and the errors encountered. Such accumulated information works to improve the website efficiency rather than identifying the website visitor.

The performance cookies serve analytically in giving out statistics as to the amount of time the website has been visited. In addition, they inspect errors encountered by the visitors to enhance the website services.

Functional

Functional cookies enable the website to keep record of all the process and options the website visitor has chosen throughout the usage of the service.

The accumulated information remains anonymous and does not track the visitor’s activities in other websites. The consequence of not applying the mentioned cookies is an unstable service.

Functional cookies may be managed by a third party who renders additional services on the website.
