You would not be generally identifiable with the cookies, however, if you are logged in to your account, SEG can connect you with a specific cookie.

We would like to point out that this cookie notice applies regardless of the type of device used, i.e. it does not matter whether you visit our website on a tablet, laptop, smartphone or other smart devices.
What are cookies and how do they benefit you?
A cookie is a small text file (under 1kB) saved on your device’s (e.g. a laptop, smartphone, tablet) web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Opera) when you visit websites. They are widely used to ensure a better and more efficient performance of websites and to support the personalization of your browsing experience by displaying content that is most likely interesting and relevant to you. The use of cookies is standard procedure for most websites nowadays. By disabling cookies some functions of the website may be impaired.
Cookies are usually held in temporary (TEMP) files, which are either deleted after the browsing session or saved onto the device’s hard drive, depending on the expiry date of the cookie. More information on cookies can be found on the following address: https://www.allaboutcookies.org
Cookies help us to:
- make the website work according to your expectations;
- remember your devices and settings during and in between visits;
- if necessary, remember your settings and choices during and between visits (e.g. in the shopping cart);
- fix the speed/security of the website;
- constantly improve our website for you;
- make marketing more efficient and personal.
What kind of cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies, known as session cookies and persistent cookies. These are the cookies used by us and/or third parties.
The type of cookies we use:
- Session cookies are used every time you visit our website. We use these cookies to link your activities on our website, and each session cookie lasts only for the duration of the visit, after which it will expire. Each session begins when you open your web browser and ends when you close it. After visiting the website all session cookies are deleted.
- Persistent cookies allow us to remember your preferences or activities on the website (or between the webpages). They have a longer lifespan than session cookies and they last for the duration of time specified in the cookie, which can vary. These cookies are not deleted by closing the browser and they will be saved on your device. They will be activated every time you visit the website that created the specific persistent cookie.
How do we categorise cookies?
To better understand cookies, we have categorised each cookie as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies and functionality cookies: These cookies are indispensable for the website, allowing the visitor to move around and use various functions, such as language settings, when the visitor moves between different pages during the browser session. Without indispensable cookies, certain services of the website may not be possible and the website may not perform as smoothly. Functionality cookies also allow the website to remember your choices and to offer you improved and personalised functions. These cookies do not collect any sort of information for marketing purposes nor in order to remember where you have been on the internet.
- Analytical or performance cookies: Performance cookies collect information about visiting the website and help us improve the way the website works. For example, performance cookies can show which pages are most frequently visited, save whatever difficulties may have occurred during the visit and show whether the advertising on the website has been effective or not. Performance cookies do not collect information which would identify the person of the visitor and all information gathered by them is assembled and anonymous.
- Targeting or marketing cookies: Targeting or marketing cookies are used to forward you the advertising most fitting with your interests or in order to limit the number of times you see the same advertising on the website. These cookies are also used to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to remember what you have looked at on the website.
