Cookies are small text files that, like most other Web servers, we place in your device that you use to access our website. This is done to recognize your device during a session or in your future visits to our website, primarily in order to provide better user experience.
Types of cookies used:
The cookies we deploy may be categorized on the basis of the purpose they serve, or the duration for which they stay on a user’s device.
Strictly necessary cookies: Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot usually be switched off without hampering the smooth functioning of the website. These cookies are typically set in response to actions made by the user, such as logging in, filling out forms, or setting privacy preferences. They ensure that the website operates correctly and efficiently.
Performance Cookie: Performance cookies, also known as analytics or statistics cookies, collect information about how users interact with our website and with that they help to improve the website by enhancing its performance. These cookies can measure page response times, count page visits, how much time a user has spent on a website, popular webpages on the site, as well as bounce rates and loading speeds. The collected data is used to identify areas for improvement on the website, such as optimizing page load times, improving navigation, and enhancing the overall user experience.
Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and a customized experience. They are designed to improve the user experience by remembering choices and settings, making websites more personalized and user-friendly. Whether it is remembering language preferences, storing login details for easier and faster access, or saving user’s other choices, as applicable, these cookies focus on enhanced functionality tailored towards users’ preferred experience. However, unlike strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies are not essential for the website to operate. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Targeting cookies: Targeting cookies are used to store a unique visitor identifier and an organization identifier, allowing companies to track users across their domains and services. These cookies help perform essential functions such as visitor identification, ID synchronization, segmentation, modeling, and reporting. They are crucial for online profiling and targeted marketing activities. Additionally, some targeting cookies collect user data through videos embedded in websites. This data is aggregated with profile data from other services to display targeted advertising to web visitors across a broad range of websites. These cookies serve as unique identifiers to track the viewing of videos and ensure that advertisements are relevant to the user’s interests. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
Other than the aforementioned purposes that cookies provide, they may also be categorized based on their duration or lifespan on a user’s device.
Session cookie: Session cookies remain only as long as a browsing session is active and are intended to avoid user inconvenience during browsing. These cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session and expire at the end of the browsing session. Session cookies also assist the user in navigating the website, and allow the user to access secure parts of the webpage when logged in. Session cookies are usually considered strictly necessary cookies due to their essential role in the functioning of a website.
Persistent cookie: Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device even after termination of a browsing session. It helps in recalling the preferences, actions or settings of the user, across multiple sessions, enhancing the overall user experience. Persistent cookies are used for a variety of purposes such as retaining the visitor’s language and regional preference(s) at the end of each browsing session. Persistent cookies may also be considered any of the four aforementioned cookies depending on the purpose they are deployed for.
