What types of cookies do we use?

Below we provide information about the types of cookies used in the Service and their purpose.

Types of cookies by length of time that they remain active in the terminal

These technologies allow analytics providers to set or read their own cookies on your device, through which they can collect anonymous information about your use of the Services.
