COOKIES POLICY

    What are cookies?

    Cookies are very small text files that are placed on your device when you visit some websites, applications, or other web-based services (for ease we are going to call them "Websites") to help identify a computer, browser, or device.


    We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (for ease we are going to call them all, both ours and from third-party providers, “Cookies”) to allow our services to function; maintain your preferences and settings; provide enhanced features; analyze how users use our services; combat fraud; prevent violations of our terms and policies; and to provide you with targeted advertising based on your interests.


    Cookies also last for different lengths of time depending on the job they do. For instance, Session Cookies only last for your online session and disappear from your device upon termination of the browsing session. Persistent Cookies stay on your device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the Cookie.


    You can always choose to remove Cookies already stored on your device, but this might temporarily prevent you from using parts of our Websites.


    For further info on the Cookies we use and how they work to enhance your experience with our Websites, please read on below:

      These Cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our Websites. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but some parts of the Website may look broken or might not work at all.


      Please note that these Cookies do not collect or store any information that will directly identify you (such as your name, email address, or address).

    • Performance Cookies

      These Cookies are primarily used for analytics in optimizing the Website’s performance.


      They allow us to count visits and behaviors on our Website so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages on our Website are visited the most, which pages are not visited very often, and how visitors move around our Website. This helps us learn what kind of content and site experience visitors enjoy and prefer.

      • Prevent you from repeatedly seeing the same ads
      • Display targeted ads or other content on your computer or device (such as on our Websites or social networking services you are visiting or an app you are using) that may be of particular interest to you.

      These Cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They also may be used by those partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on our Websites or other third-party sites based on topics you may like.

    Managing Your Cookies

    In the Preference tool

    We read and write Cookies for the preference level you set in the Cookie Preference Tool section of the Website you are visiting.


    Please note that Cookies set through the Cookie Preference Tool before you changed your preferences will still be on your device, but we will respect your current choice for that Website when we read your updated preferences. You can however delete these Cookies by using your browser settings.


    In Your Browser

    Most modern browsers will allow you to select your privacy settings. You can block Cookies, accept all Cookies, or pick a setting somewhere in-between. This range lets you control your Cookie settings in various ways:


    • See what cookies you've got and delete them individually
    • Block cookies from particular sites
    • Block third party cookies
    • Block all cookies from being set
    • Delete all cookies upon closing your browser

    Deleting Cookies means that any preference settings you have made on a Website will be lost. If you’ve set your preferences to opt out of Cookies, this setting will be lost too, as that information is stored in a Cookie. Blocking all Cookies means that some functionality on our Websites will be lost or limited. We don’t recommend turning all Cookies off when using our Websites.


    If you want to reduce your Cookies settings at any time — for example, if you accept all Cookies, but later decide you don’t want a certain type of cookie — you’ll need to use your browser settings to manage or remove any Cookies dropped on your previous visit.
