What are cookies?
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard-drive. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that.

“Web beacon”

This technology, which functions with a cookie, enables the beacon owner to know how many times a customer accessed a particular page. However, unless the customer enters his or her own personal information when, or after, the cookie is accepted, HCME cannot identify an individual customer.

When do we use cookies and web beacons?
We only use cookies and web beacons to keep track of the pages which you visit on our websites or apps (“Sites”) and to tell us whether you have visited the Sites previously so that, in order to serve you better, we understand how you and other visitors use them. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all or a part of cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. We have sought to set up our Sites so as to notify you before a cookie is used. However, if you choose to reject all cookies, you may be unable to use parts of the Sites.

What type of cookies do we use?

Strictly necessary cookies

There are cookies which are strictly necessary for the normal Sites functions. These cookies cannot be switched off because the websites wouldn’t work properly anymore. However, these identifiers do not store any personal data.

Analytics cookies

There are cookies used for analytics. These are not mandatory for the Sites’ functionality. However, if you switch them off  we won’t be able to properly monitor your our Sites’ performance.

Social cookies

Many of these cookies are provided by third parties. For instance, if you use Facebook to follow us or YouTube to watch a video on our websites, it will have its own identifiers. Without them the video will likely not work. These cookies are optional.

What third party cookies and web beacons do we use?

The cookies’ table lists some of the third party cookies which we use. The names of cookies, web-beacons, pixels and other technologies may change from time to time.
