Last Updated: May 1, 2023

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login information, and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, we may send a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file on your computer or mobile device. When you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our servers, allowing us to recognize your device.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:

  • Web beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our websites and emails to help us measure and track user engagement.
  • Local storage: Browser web storage that allows websites to store data in a browser on a device. Local storage is similar to cookies but can hold larger amounts of data.
  • Session replay: Technologies that help us understand how users interact with our website by recreating user sessions.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies as "cookies" throughout this Cookie Policy.

2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

We use different types of cookies for various purposes. Depending on their function and intended purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work if you do. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Examples: Session cookies, authentication cookies, security cookies

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Examples: Analytics cookies, performance measurement cookies

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Examples: Advertising cookies, social media cookies

Duration: Persistent (typically up to 2 years)
