When you visit the “SiS” website, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets the website help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site.

A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the website (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on), and allow us to track your usage. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Your browser may use persistent cookies on subsequent visits to the sites. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to show when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of our website may not function properly if you disable the ability to accept cookies.

The “SiS” website uses cookies which are stored on your browser. You can usually change your browser settings to prevent this from happening. However, by disabling cookies, or certain types of cookie, you may hinder your user experience on this and other websites, or prevent them from working entirely.

Some cookies used are essential in order to enable you to move around the “SiS” website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, certain areas of the website will not work correctly.

Some cookies used on this website collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.

Some cookies used on this website allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also remember changes you have made to parts of “SiS” that you can customize. They may also provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on an article. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Considering the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") for visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), we have updated our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Information and Cookies Policy to reflect the changes we have made to be fully GDPR compliant.

All IP addresses are anonymized, "Do Not Track" headers and "Opt Out" cookies are honored. Our Unique ID (UID) tracking cookie contains no actual "Personal Data" about your visit, but alas, UIDs are considered Personal Data by the GDPR. This is the only Personal Data logged by default, but per Article 6 of the GDPR, this cookie is well within the "legitimate interests" of a website using the service to know how many unique visitors they have, which is best accomplished with a UID. It is our obligation to inform you about the usage of this cookie and by continuing using our website you give your consent.

Cookies may also improve the user experience and to enable some functionality provided by this website.

Please note that some cookies may be placed by third party service providers who perform some of these functions (or other services) for us.

Some of these services may track your behavior on other websites, and we have no control over this.
