We know how our website is used by anonymous visitors and visitors who interact with our site. One way of tracking this is ‘cookies’. A cookie is a small file or string of text on the site user’s computer which is used for assisting in web navigation. There are two types of commonly used cookies. The session cookie is created by the website when you access it. It is automatically deleted by closing the browser. A persistent cookies is the one that gets stored in the hard drive of the user’s computer for the period of time chosen by the website that has set the cookie, which is usually a number of years, unless you delete it manually.
This policy aims at distinguishing between short-lived cookies and long-lasting cookies. Short-lived cookies include all the session cookies and persistent cookies which are set to be stored for not more than a week. Our website may require the user to accept short-lived cookies so that the website can function properly. Long-lasting cookies can be used on the website for tracking visitor practices.
Cookies are also essential for site administration and security. Another way we track site activity is via transparent electronic images known as ‘clear GIFs’, ‘Web bugs’, or ‘Web beacons’ on the site’s web page. These images help in counting the number of users who visit the page from banner ads outside our website or via e-mail links.
