Section 2: Definition of Cookies

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies’, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

Section 6: Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email that includes these files. This allows us to do many things, including monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another; deliver or communicate with cookies; understand if you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website; improve site performance; and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; therefore, declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Section 7: Flash Cookies and Local Shared Objects

Websites may also use “Flash cookies” (also known as “local shared objects” or “LSOs”) to do many things, including collect and store information about your use of our services, prevent fraud and operate the site.

If you do not want Flash cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash Player to block the storage of Flash cookies storage by using the tools contained in the Flash Player Website Storage Settings panel . You can also control Flash cookies by going to the Flash Player 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.

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Section 8: Targeted Advertising

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services in which you may be interested. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by their 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. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

Section 9: Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date in the Revision History at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
