What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device for accessing the Internet, whenever you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize, e.g., a user's device.

At genOway, we use some non-essential cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to determine preferences, let users navigate between pages efficiently, and to carry out essential security checks. We do not do this to track individual users or to identify them.

More information about cookies can be found on www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

How cookies make our website safer and easier to use

Cookies allow us to tailor the content of our website to suit your interests. Indeed, we use ‘analytics’ cookies to help us make our website better for those who visit it regularly. They help us work out what users like and don't like and how we can improve things for you.

When we include links to other websites, please bear in mind they will have their own privacy and cookie policies that will govern the use of any information you submit. We recommend you read their policies, as genOway is not responsible or liable for their privacy practices.
