They are also used for web analytics with the purpose of helping the users optimize their visit on the website. There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.
- Session cookies are created temporarily in your browser’s subfolder while you are visiting a website. These cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your internet browser.

A persistent cookie does not expire when you close your browser, it remains in the browser’s subfolder for the duration period set within the cookie’s file.
Cookie List
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
