The “cookie” transmits this information back to the Website's computer which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. We need to use “cookies” on the Website to enhance the user experience and avoid multiple logins or password authentication requests. By using the Website after accepting the notification of “cookies” that appears when You first visit the Website, after You have been notified of this notice depending on the settings of Your computer's browser, You give your consent to place “cookies” on your computer.
We use the following “cookies” types:
1.1. Strictly needed “cookies.” These “cookies” are necessary for the Website to work correctly; they will allow You to browse Our Website and use its capabilities. These files do not identify You as a person. If You do not agree to use this type of file, this may affect the proper work of the Website or its components.
1.2. “Cookies” related to performance, efficiency, and analytics. These files help Us understand how Partners interact with Our Website by providing information about the areas visited and the amount of time spent on the Website, as well as showing problems in the operation of the Internet resource, for example, error messages.

2. “Web beacons.” We may also use web beacons (small graphic images on a web page or an HTML email) to monitor interaction with Our websites or emails. Web beacons are invisible because they are tiny (only 1-by-1 pixel) and have the same color as the background of the web page or email message.
