Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you browse websites or applications (apps). You can control the use of these cookies by configuring the settings in the privacy of the browser (see help of the browser to obtain information regarding the control of cookies). Please note that if cookies are wholly disabled, websites and CALMELL applications may not work properly.

CALMELL and the companies that help us manage our business use cookies in different ways, namely to:

• Authenticate and identify users of the sites and in our applications so that we can offer the required services.
• Remember the user’s preferences.

Similar technologies for cookies

From a technical point of view, cookies are called “HTTP cookies”. There are other technologies that can be used for similar purposes, such as local HTML5 rendering. To authenticate users, keep track of information provided by users and remember user preferences.

Web visit counters and embedded scripts

Web visit counters and embedded scripts are other technological methods we use on our websites and in our applications, along with some of our emails and messages.

Visit counters (or “tags”) are simple programming code embedded in web pages, emails and messages that communicate with CALMELL (or companies that help oversee our business), when these types of web pages, emails or messages have been viewed or clicked on.

Embedded scripts programme code within some of our pages to measure how they are used, for example, the links you use. We use this information to improve our websites and online services, to tailor it to the interests of potential users and to conduct market research. Users can disable scripting features, such as JavaScript, via the browser (see browser help function). Note that if you disable scripting capabilities, some websites and CALMELL applications may not work properly.
