Cookies

To make this site work as intended, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most websites do this.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

A number of our pages use cookies to remember:

• Your display preferences, such as contrast color settings or font size
• Your preference to remember your username for future sessions
• if you have already replied to an informational pop-up (so you won't be asked again)
• if you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this site

Enabling these cookies is necessary for the website to work as intended. You can delete or block these cookies, but if you do some features of this site may not work as intended.

The cookie-related information is encrypted, not used to identify you personally, with the exception of the optional Remember User Name feature, and the pattern data is fully under our control. These cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here.

How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.
