2. What are cookies?
2.1 Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Cookies are widely used by website or mobile application owners in order to make their websites or mobile applications work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2.2 Cookies have many different features, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
2.3 Cookies set by the Websites are called “first party cookies“. Cookies set by parties other than the Websites or app owner are called “third party cookies“. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or mobile application (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer or mobile device – across multiple browsers – both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.4 Below is an explanation of the types of cookies that are used on our Websites and why.
2.4.1 Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential to operate the Websites. These cookies are not used for marketing or advertising purposes.
2.4.2 Functional Cookies: Functional cookies make it possible to provide personalized experiences by saving your information, such as your preferred language, region, and login credentials.
2.4.3 Performance Cookies: Performance cookies collect data about how visitors interact with our Websites. They help us know, for example, which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around our Websites. This data is aggregated (and therefore, anonymous) for web analytics purposes solely for improving our Websites’ functionality.
2.4.4 Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies collect information about your online activity on our Websites and other businesses’ websites. These targeting cookies typically are third-party, persistent cookies that can follow a user as they visit other websites. This information may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
2.4.5 Social Media Cookies: We may partner with social media companies, and as a result, cookies may be set by our social media partners on the Websites and/or Services. Such cookies can track your browser activities across other websites and this information may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant content and advertisements on other sites.
3. How long do cookies last?
3.1 Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies‘, which means they only exist when your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or quit the app. Other cookies are ‘persistent cookies‘, meaning they survive after your browser or app is closed and can be used by websites or apps to recognize your computer when you re-open your browser or app later.
3.2 More specifically, details about the cookies set by our Websites and by third parties, including service providers acting on our behalf, are listed directly on the site or in the cookie control tool made available on the site.
4. What about other tracking techniques, like web beacons?
4.1 Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
5. What about Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
5.1 Our Website may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site operations. All details about the Flash Cookies are listed directly in the cookie control tool made available on the site.
5.2 If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
5.3 Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash lications, including, potentially, Flash lications used in connection with our services or online content.
6. What about targeted advertising?
6.1 Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this Website and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.
6.2 This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.
6.3 The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
6.4 All cookies for targeted advertising purposes that may be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit our Website can be found directly on the site through the cookie control tool made available on the site.
7. How can I control cookies?
7.1 You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject specific cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by saving them in our cookie preference banner available in the cookie control tool available on the Website. Please note that you may still receive generalized ads after opting out. Further, your opt-out choice will only apply to your use of our Websites through the current browser or device you are using and only so long as that browser’s cookies are not erased. Additionally, if you are using different profiles on the same browser, your opt-out choice will only apply to the profile and browser in use when the opt-out selections are made. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of sharing request on each device and browser (and profile, if appropriate) you use to visit our Websites to completely opt-out using this method.
7.2 Global Privacy Control: You may also opt-out of sharing and sales via cookies by an opt-out-preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control signal at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. You will need to submit a separate opt-out of sharing request on each device and browser (and profile, if appropriate) you use to visit our Websites to completely opt-out using this method.
7.3 You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse some cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Websites though your access to some functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
