Personal Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and third-party partners collect personal information using cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies. Our third-party partners, such as analytics partners, may use these technologies to collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different services. Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Services.
Cookies can be used for performance management, collecting information on how our Services are being used for analytics purposes. They can also be used for functionality management, enabling us to make the User’s visit more efficient by, for example, remembering language preferences, passwords and log-in details. We may also use pixel tags and web beacons on our Services. These are tiny graphic images placed on web pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. Below is an overview of the types of cookies we and third parties may use to collect personal information.
- Strictly necessary cookies. Some cookies are strictly necessary to make our Services available to you. We cannot provide you with our Services without this type of cookies.
- Functional cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our Services. This enables us to adapt our content for you, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Analytical or Performance cookies. We also use cookies for website and app analytics purposes in order to operate, maintain and improve our Services. We may use our own analytics cookies or use third party analytics providers. We are currently using Google Analytics to collect and process certain analytics data on our behalf.
Where required by applicable law, we obtain your consent to use cookies. You can find more information about your rights and choices, and how to block the use of certain cookies in the section Your Rights and Choices below.
