Cookies can be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering your preferences, measuring your activity and optimising your user experience.
Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you. Instead, they will collect more general information, such as:
-
Your IP address, browser and operating system information;
-
The date and time that you accessed the website;
-
Your geographic location and the pages you view while using the website; and
-
Any search terms you use when using the website’s search functionality.
What sort of cookies does IFWG Innovation Hub use?
Generally, our cookies perform three different functions:
-

Analysing visitor behaviour
Some cookies analyse how our visitors use our website and to monitor website performance. This allows the IFWG to provide a high-quality experience by making sure that the content and layout remains relevant to you. For example, cookies are used to keep track of which pages and links are most popular and which are not providing the information that’s required by our visitors.
