Policies on Cookie Use

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device (computer or mobile device). To enhance site responsiveness for our users, we may utilize “cookies” or similar electronic tools. These help gather information by assigning each visitor a unique, random number as a User Identification (User ID) to comprehend individual interests using the Identified Computer. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for instance), we cannot personally identify you, even if we assign a cookie to your device. Cookies cannot read data from your hard drive. Additionally, our advertisers may assign their own cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process beyond our control. Our web servers automatically capture limited information about your device’s internet connection, including your IP address, upon visiting our site. Your IP address does not personally identify you but helps in delivering requested web pages, tailoring our site to user interests, measuring site traffic, and informing advertisers about visitor locations.

(1) How Cookies Support Our Website's Operations

We have classified our cookies in four categories: strictly necessary, functional, performance and marketing. When you visit our website, you have an option to accept all cookies or select the type of cookies you are comfortable to be placed on your device. We will remember your choice for 30 days and ask you to reconsent again after this period or every time you clear your cookies. You can change your cookie preference at any time for all but the strictly necessary cookies. Without strictly necessary cookies our website will not work, nor we can deliver a service to you. These cookies are placed by default when you visit our website and are always active. You can change your preference for the other three categories at any time by revisiting this page and clicking on ‘Manage Cookies’ button. Whenever you deactivate functional cookies, we clear these from your devices. If you deactivate performance or marketing cookies, you will need to clear your browser data to remove these cookies as they may include third-party cookies which are not managed by us directly.

(2) Accessing Third-Party Websites via Links

Privacy Control for Third-Party Cookies: On our website, several cookies are managed by third parties. We advise you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand how they utilize cookies and what information they collect. You can disable third-party cookies via your browser settings. Ensure that you reload or navigate to another page on our website after modifying cookie settings to confirm that changes have been applied.

(3) Tailoring Your Cookie Settings

Your device can be set to accept cookies, alert you when a cookie is sent, or not to receive cookies at all. Opting out of receiving cookies might limit your ability to fully utilize our website, and we may not be able to tailor your on-site experience. Browser settings vary, so check your browser's 'Help' menu to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

(4) Miscellaneous Provisions

Do we track whether users open our emails? Our emails may contain a “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should read the email in plain text view or with images disabled.
