Cookies are used on this website. By using this website, you agree that cookies are to be placed on your device as further explained below.
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website sends to your computer’s web browser while you are navigating through it.

These cookies may then be stored on your machine to identify your computer.
Cookies used on this website can be either set up by our website or by a third-party website.

D. “Do-not-track” signals
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the browser communicates. As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, an industry standard has not yet been established on how to respond to these signals. Therefore, our website does not currently recognize or respond to these signals but will reassess its response approach once a standard is established. However, at this time you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies through your web browser.
E. How to accept or refuse cookies

You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies. To understand how to do this, please consult your browser’s “Tools” section or any other similar heading.
We recommend that you leave the cookies active. We do not anyways collect any personal information on you that can be associated or tracked back to you. We care for you and your privacy just like we are skeptical about our own privacy while using other websites. Bear in mind that if you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you will not be able to use any website services that require you to sign in.
