I. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

II. Cookies that We Use
We use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies
These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, our website may not work properly or at all. We do not track your personal data with the strictly necessary cookies. Therefore, we are not legally obliged to receive your consent to use these cookies on our website.
Analytical or performance cookies
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies
These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences.
There are also two different types of cookies based on when they expire.
Session cookies
Session cookies are those that expire at the end of your browser session, which is when you exit your browser. These cookies remember the page you visit and therefore support navigation. These cookies will no longer functional once you close your browser. Therefore, these cookies are not usually stored beyond the browser session.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are stored on your equipment between browsing sessions. They therefore enable our website to “recognise” you on his return, to remember your preferences. They may also be used to track the user’s browsing activity across different websites and to build up a detailed profile of his browsing behaviour for targeting advertising. For this reason, persistent cookies are generally considered to be more privacy-intrusive than session cookies.
There are two different types of cookies based on who planted them on our website.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies are planted by Nickel on this website. This involves assigning a unique identity to the user by setting the cookie to either the user’s browser and/or his hard drive with a view to tracking the user’s journey on the website. We use first-party cookies for session management and personalisation.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are cookies planted by third-parties other than us.
