This website is using Cookies and Sessions in order to function at full capacity. Please read this page once in a while to make sure that you have read everything. We may change the contents of this page once in a while as requested by site changes / improvements of functionality.

Sessions

Also, they are used for the search engine when transferring data from index page to results page and from results page to report page. The sessions also clear from the browser and you computer at browser close. 

Cookies
What is a Cookie and what does it do ?

Essentially, a cookie is a small file of text that is dropped on a user’s browser by a website, when the user visits the site.

The cookie serves to give the website a “memory”, enabling it to retain information such as:

• user settings and preferences eg. language, font size and theme;
• geographic location and currency;
• their browsing activity, eg. frequency of visits to the site and duration of the visit;

All in all, cookies are an important and often indispensable means of presenting a smooth and responsive digital experience for the users. The problem with cookies, however, is that they function out of sight (many don’t even really know what they are and what they do), and that they track personal data and can be used to create dauntingly rich and accurate user profiles.
