Cookie Policy

Cookies and other information we collect automatically

Like most platforms, we log IP addresses and use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you, customise your experience and provide us with information about how you access our Platform. See below for more information on how we use cookies and related technologies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or mobile application. They are used to recognise your computer as you move between pages on a website, or when you return to a website or mobile application you have previously visited. Cookies are widely used in order to make platforms work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the platform owners.
We use cookies to enhance your online experience (for example, by remembering your language and/or product or service preferences) and to better understand how our Platform is used. For example, cookies may tell us whether you have visited our Platform before or whether you are a new visitor to our Platform. Cookies can also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

There are roughly two types of cookies.

1. First-party cookies (cookies) are served directly by us to your computer or mobile device and are used only by us to recognise your computer or mobile device when it returns to our Platform.
2. Third-party cookies are cookies that are served by third-party service providers on our Platform and can be used by those service providers to recognise your computer or mobile device when it visits other platforms, most commonly for platform analytics or advertising purposes.

*Cookies may remain on your computer or mobile device for different lengths of time. We use both "session cookies" and "permanent cookies." Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies remain after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize your computer or mobile device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
