Cookie Policy

1. 1. What are Cookies and why are they used?

      A cookie is a small data file transferred by a website to your computer or internet enabled device (“Device”). The Klas website sends cookies to your computer or Device when you visit it, request or personalise information, or register yourself for certain services. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, which helps us to provide you with a better experience when you visit our website. It also helps us to track user traffic patterns and in doing so, we can examine how useful our website is to you and how effective the navigation structure is in helping you access the information you require.

   2. What are Web Beacons and why are they used?

      Web beacons are a similar technology to cookies and they can help deliver a better online experience. Essentially, a web beacon is an electronic image, found on a website or HTML-formatted e-mail (also referred to as a single-pixel or clear GIF). Web beacons collect only limited information such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view and a description of the page on which the web beacon is placed. They are a way of gathering basic statistics and managing cookies, however they do not give away any extra information from your computer. If you disable cookies on your web browser this will also prevent web beacons from tracking your specific activity, however the web beacon may still record an anonymous visit from your IP address.

   3. What other Tracking Technologies does Klas use?

      Klas may also use customised links or other similar technologies to track e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your Personal Information in order to provide you with more focused e-mail communications or purchase information. Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication.
