What are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny files that our sites save on your computer or another device. Such files hold a small amount of data, which allows us, for instance, to remember your preferences, so you don’t have to set-up your options again. An example might the layout selection – if you changed it to dark, it keeps being dark every time you enter the site. Without cookies, you would have to change the layout on your every visit.
In other words, thanks to cookies we can bring you a website more tailored to you.

Storage duration

- Session Cookies – Cookies that are active during your visit and are erased after you leave the site.
