Our Cookie Policy
COOKIE AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGY POLICY
This cookie policy is designed to help you understand how we use cookies and similar technologies (“Cookies”), and how you can manage these Cookies. We, along with our authorized third-party partners and service providers may make use of Cookies on our websites, products and other services such as emails (collectively, “Services”) when you use our Services.
What are Cookies
A ‘Cookie’ is a small file which is created by a website and stored on your device. Often Cookies contain a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your device, but can contain other information. Cookies serve many different purposes, including to help remember your preferences or allow our Services to function.
There are different types of Cookies:
Cookies are “persistent”, “permanent” or “session”:
Persistent and permanent Cookies remain on your device even after you have gone offline. These Cookies will remain on your device until you manually delete them or until your browser deletes them based on the duration specified in the Cookie file itself.
Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Cookies can also be “first-party” or “third-party”:
First-party Cookies are Cookies that are placed by us or a third party on our behalf.
Third-party Cookies are placed by our partners, vendors and other third parties. We do not control the collection or further use of data by third parties using third-party Cookies.
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are small graphic images that are used in connection with the provision of our Services and which typically work in conjunction with Cookies to track the use of an online service by its users. For example, when we send you emails, web beacons allow us to track if you opened the emails and clicked links to measure campaign performance and improve features.
Similar technologies are technologies which enable the entity using it to track your user behavior. This can be done by HTML5 Local Storage, pixels, tags, Flash Cookies (also known as “local shared objects” or “LSOs”), and other web application software methods, all of which store information in your browser or device. We may employ Flash Cookies in certain situations where we use Flash to provide some content such as video clips or animation.
How we use Cookies
We classify Cookies according to whether they are “Essential”, “Functional”, "Analytics”, or “Advertising”, depending on the function that the Cookies serve in connection with our Services.
Essential: These Cookies are required to provide you with the services and features available through our site. Because these Cookies are necessary to deliver the site, they cannot be turned off.
Functional: These Cookies are used to enhance the functionality of the site. They help us to customize the site and application (where applicable) for you in order to enhance your experience. Although important, these Cookies are not required for your use of the site. Without these Cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
Analytics: These Cookies collect information to help us understand how you engage with our website, such as how the site is being used, or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These Cookies help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and to see how visitors move around the site. These Cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
THIRD-PARTY TARGETED ADVERTISING
These Cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. By turning this functionality off, you may still see ads but those ads may be more frequent and less relevant to you and your needs.
Third-party targeted advertising cookies may be placed on your device by third-party advertisers, ad networks, data exchanges, marketing analytics and other service providers.
Third-party targeted advertising cookies collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites and online services in order to provide you with relevant advertisements on our websites and online services and the websites and online services of third parties. Ad networks may share this information with the advertisers using their network. These cookies may also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, for example by collecting data on how many people click on a particular advertisement. The information collected using these third-party advertising cookies does not identify you personally.
Third-party targeted advertising cookies are often linked to site functionality provided by the third-party which may mean that clicking on the advertisement redirects you to that third-party’s website.
We cannot always know what third-party advertising cookies are being dropped before they appear on our website, we maintain processes to monitor cookies placed on our websites by external service providers and to control the way in which data is collected via our websites. We can also request that certain third-party advertising cookies are turned off by the third-party provider.
We may use these cookies on our websites and in connection with our content and advertisements that appear on third-party websites and online services to recognise that you’ve viewed or interacted with our content or advertisements and so we can show you advertisements for products that we believe will be of interest to you. We may also use these cookies to limit the number of times you see the same advertisement. Our targeted advertising cookies collect anonymous information; however, if you have a registration account with us, the information collected by us using our targeted advertising cookies may be associated with your registration account, for example, we may seek to show more closely targeted adverts to you based on your browsing behavior. The organization setting the cookie (either the third party or us) is responsible for obtaining consent.
