Cookie Policy
We, like other websites, use cookies.
Cookies are little text files that your browser saves on your computer. They’re used for a variety of purposes, like remembering if you’ve visited the site previously so you can stay signed in – or helping us figure out how many visits we receive on the site in a certain period of time. These cookies include information about how your computer is used but no personal information about you.
What kind of cookies do we use?
Cookies for Session As you navigate our site, we may need to remember technical information about you as you go from page to page. This technical information is used in a variety of ways to improve your user experience. This cookie includes no personally identifying information and is only active until your session is terminated ( usually when you leave our site. )
We employ web analytics services to identify your browser or device and, for example, to determine if you have previously visited particular services we provide. This data is kept anonymous and is solely used for statistical reasons. It enables us to track information such as the number of unique users we have and how frequently they visit our website.

This can be utilized for your convenience so that you don’t have to enter the complete log-in information again on subsequent visits. This cookie will stay on your computer after you leave our site indefinitely.
Managing Your Cookies
