A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enables the server to collect information from the browser. Cookies help identify the computer accessing the service, but not the person using the site. Cookies are very small and are not likely to take up much space on your computer. |
|
| |
| 6.2 |
We use cookies to identify you when you visit this site and to keep track of your browsing patterns and build up a demographic profile. Our use of cookies also allows registered citizens to be presented with a personalised version of the site, carry out transactions and have access to information about their account. |
|
| |
| 6.3 |
Advertising placement companies who place ads on ikoncity.com use cookies and other tools to allow them to monitor page visits and to personalise content for users. The use of these tools and technologies is subject to the privacy policies of these companies and not ikoncity.com. |
