As almost all websites do, our website uses cookies to help provide users with the best possible experience while on our site. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device or mobile when you browse a website.
If your browser settings are adjusted to accept cookies, we take this, and your continued use of our site to indicate that you are OK with this. Should you wish to remove or not accept cookies from our website, you can read how to do this below. However, not accepting cookies will likely mean our site will not work as well as you would expect.
We use cookies to gather visitor statistics such as how many people visit our website, the type of operating system they use, e.g., Mac or Windows, which helps to know if the site isn’t working correctly for specific technologies. Also, to determine how long visitors spend browsing the site, the pages they visit, etc. This data helps us to improve our website continuously.
Analytical software also tells us anonymously how people found the site (i.e., from an ad, forum, or search engine) and if they are first-time visitors. This information helps companies decrease marketing expenses, which in turn helps keep product prices low.
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop accepting cookies (See how here). Doing so, however, will likely limit the functionality of a large proportion of the websites globally (as well as ours) as cookies are a common component of most current websites.
If you are concerned about cookies being related to “malware” or “spyware”, rather than turning cookie permissions off in your browser settings, you may find that anti-spyware software is a better option. Anti-spyware software automatically deletes cookies deemed to be invasive.
