They also enable enhanced, more personal features, e.g., a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by using a cookie to remember which region you are in. These cookies are also used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video. Information collected by functionality cookies may or may not be anonymised, but they cannot track your browsing activity on another website. The functionality cookies on our website collect anonymous information.
