What is a cookie?

Cookies are little pieces of data that are stored by your browsers when you go on any website. A cookie helps your browser to remember if you have visited a website before, for example entering in login details or faster loading speeds when you reopen the tab. If you don’t want cookies to be enabled, you can specify in your browser to disable them.

How to disable cookies

Depending on what device you use to browse on the internet, you can specify that you want to stop “Cookie Tracking”. Here is how to disable cookies on different browsers.
When I disable cookies will I still get advertisements?
Yes, even when you disable cookies you can still receive advertisements from other sites. The only difference is that any advertisement you see if not based on your personal interest or preference.

About cookies and how we use them

The only information we can send you will be if you sign up with our website to receive notifications or if you communicate directly with our company. Even if you agree to allow cookies on your browser, we must still follow our Privacy Policy to ensure that any information we collect has a purpose of intent and is legally gathered. We need your consent before we can use any information that is not under the new EU GDPR act of 25/05/18.

  • To track certain demographics about our users that are relevant for market research purposes;

Domain cookies are either:

  • First-party cookies, which are automatically set by the web server and have the same domain;
  • Third-party cookies, which are stored on a different domain than the visited webpage.

What is a beacon?

A beacon, also known as a:

  • Web Beacons (‘Website Navigational Information’);
  • Web bugs;
  • Pixel tags; or
  • Clear GIFs.
Helps collects data when you interact with a website. The web beacon looks like a transparent graphic image that is normally no larger than a 1×1 pixel. It can be placed on a website or an email to help monitor how a user interacts with a certain page.

Can a beacon track me personally?
