4. Cookies

We store information is collected automatically through cookies and other similar technologies on the Site. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on the Site are generally divided into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that record your cookie preferences.

  • Analytical/Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the number of users on the Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located). This helps improve how the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.
    We use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt-out of Google Analytics’ collection and use of data generated by your use of the Site by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

  • Functional Cookies: These improve the functional performance of websites and make them easier for you to use. These include cookies that are used to remember that you previously visited the Site and asked to remain logged in. We also embed certain videos that are hosted by YouTube. YouTube sets certain functional cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., your preferred language), to remember user input, and to detect and resolve problems with YouTube’s services.

  • Targeting Cookies: These record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on the Site and other websites you visit. These cookies are used to display ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site and other online activity. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. For more information about targeted advertising and how to opt out with your specific browser and device, go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. If you opt-out, you will need to apply these opt-out settings in each device from which you wish to opt out. Not all companies that serve interest-based ads participate in these opt-out programs, so even after opting-out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may be less relevant to you.

You can prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the section “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access the Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of the Site, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
