What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer through a website. Cookies typically contain information about your actions on the website: preferences you may have selected, pages you have visited ... Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it will refuse all cookies, our systems will issue cookies as soon as you visit our website.

  • A pixel on the other hand, also referred to as a ‘web beacon’ or ‘tracking pixel’, is a tiny graphic image, usually just a single pixel, embedded in a webpage. Subject to you consent, we may use pixels on certain webpages to collect information regarding your interactions with that webpage (e.g. to understand user behavior, track webpage activity or gather data to improve ad performance).
