A cookie is a very small file that is placed on your device when you visit a website. Basically, a website asks your browser to store it on your device. Cookies allow the websites to recognize the user’s device and store some information about the user’s preferences or past actions. For more information about cookies, visit this website.
There are three main groups of cookies, and, therefore, three main purposes of the cookies we collect:
Cookies we use for security reasons. These cookies are necessary. They enable the Services to provide the feature you have requested.
Functional Cookies. These cookies remember your choices while you’re using our Services (e.g. language). We use these cookies to provide you with a more tailored experience.
Marketing and Analytics Cookies. We use these cookies for the purposes of targeting, advertising, performance, and analytics. These cookies collect information about your interaction with our Services, which gives us direction for improvements of the Services. These cookies also collect information about your browsing patterns and sharing activities on social media, so we can make our ads more relevant to you and your interests.
Controlling cookies differs depending on the browser you’re using on your device. Here we covered the most popular ones, but encourage you to learn more about controlling cookies in your own browser.
A number of websites provide detailed information on cookies, including AboutCookies and AllAboutCookies. The Internet Advertising Bureau website Your Online Choices allows you to install opt-out cookies across different advertising networks. Google has developed a browser add-on to allow users to opt-out of Google Analytics across all websites which use this popular analytics product. New technologies, such as Mozilla's Do Not Track , allow you to tell websites not to track you. Internet Explorer has a feature called Tracking Protection Lists, which allows you to import a list of websites you want to block.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. If we do so, we will revise the "effective starting" date at the top of this notice.
Since cookies are treated as personal data, in some cases you will have a choice to accept them or not. When it comes to essential cookies, there is no way for you to opt-out, since they are necessary for providing the information requested by you. These essential cookies don’t store any personal data. They simply can’t be turned off, because our Services wouldn’t be able to work properly anymore. In all other cases, you will be asked for consent, since there are only non-essential cookies in question. These non-essential cookies are used for analytics, advertising, targeting, etc. They are not mandatory for the functionality of our Services, and that is why you’ll be able to switch them off. If you change your mind after you’ve given your consent, you will be able to revoke your consent directly in your browser.
If you want to opt-out of our use of cookies, you can instruct your browser to stop accepting cookies, or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from websites you visit. Keep in mind that, if you don’t accept cookies, you may not be able to use all aspects of our Services. You may be able to opt out of receiving personalized ads; however, some cookies and technologies are necessary for the Services, and you can’t switch them off.
Along with cookies, we might use tracking pixels. We use them to improve and customize our Services. They give us the count number of clicks/users/visitors, let us know whether you are interacting with our marketing emails, and deliver co-branded content or services. Our Services may contain these tracking technologies from third parties, and they might let them set or read cookies on your device, solely to help us get a bigger picture of our campaigns and website functionality.
