What is a cookie?

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. Cookies are also used for the placement of advertising based on the user's interests and behaviour, and to control advertising content on our website.

We place Google Adsense advertisements on our website, a digital advertising service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”).
To personalise advertising and/or content for you in other contexts, such as on other websites or apps, over time, Google and their technology partners collect data and use cookies. If ad personalisation is off, Google will not collect or use your information to create an ad profile or personalise the ads that Google shows to you. You will still see ads, but they may not be as useful. Ads may still be based on the topic of this website, your current search terms or on your general location, but not on your interests, search history or browsing history.
