We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags and clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) on our website (“Website”) and in our application to store information or gain access to information stored on your device or computer.
You can learn more about cookies and similar technologies, as well as how we use them, in the information provided below. Any information we collect will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
If you do not accept the use of these cookies or similar technologies, you can disable them by following the instructions in this policy below, or by changing your browser settings so that cookies or similar technologies from our Website or application cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device.
Cookies are small text files that uniquely identify your browser or device. A cookie is stored in your browser, and when you return to that website (or visit other websites using the same cookies), those sites recognize the cookie and your browsing device.
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track website visitors. We may also use similar technologies such as web beacons/pixels, log files, and mobile device identifiers.
Web beacons (also called “tracking pixels” or “clear GIFs”) are invisible image files or small pieces of code that contain a unique identifier allowing us to recognize users when providing our Services.
Web beacons collect information such as the page where they are placed and a timestamp. We use web beacons to track online usage patterns of our users and in HTML emails sent to our users to monitor which emails are opened and which links are clicked, helping us measure the success of our marketing campaigns.
We also use web beacons placed by third-party advertisers to track whether you clicked on their ads and to measure their effectiveness.
While you may not be able to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many cases they depend on cookies to function properly; therefore, disabling cookies may impair the performance of these technologies.
Local Shared Objects (also known as “Flash cookies”) are data fragments stored on your device to support Adobe Flash functionality.
We may use Adobe Flash to display graphics, interactive animations, and other advanced features. Local Shared Objects can track parameters similar to cookies but may also provide information about your use of a specific feature activated by a cookie. For example, if it supports video playback, we may receive information about how many videos were viewed and when playback was stopped.
Flash cookie management tools are available directly at www.adobe.com.
Cookies perform many different tasks — they enable efficient navigation between pages, remember your preferences, and generally improve your user experience. Cookies can also tell us whether you have visited the Website before or if you are a new visitor. They can help make the advertising you see online more relevant to you and your interests.
Just as you can get chocolate chip, ginger, or peanut butter cookies, there are also different types of digital cookies.
There are different categories of cookies, including:
First-party cookies
Cookies set directly by us on your computer or device.
Third-party cookies
Cookies set by a third party on our behalf.
Cookies can remain on your device for varying periods of time. Some are session cookies, which exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted once you close it.
Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain even after you close your browser. The Website may use them, for example, to recognize your computer when you open your browser and return to browse the internet again.
