About Cookies

The services use cookies and similar technologies, such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript, to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and use our Site and services, to analyze trends, to learn about our user base and to operate and improve our services. Cookies are small files – usually consisting of letters and numbers – placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device, when you use that device to visit a Site. We will refer to cookies and similar technologies simply as “Cookies” for the remainder of this Cookie Policy. We sometimes combine information collected through Cookies that is not Personal Data with Personal Data that we have about you, for example, to tell us who you are or whether you have an account with us. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties. For more information about the kinds of Cookies we use and the purposes for which we use Cookies, please consult the chart below.

Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can either be “session Cookies” or “persistent Cookies.” Session Cookies are temporary Cookies that are stored on your device while you are visiting our Site or using our services, whereas “persistent Cookies” are stored on your device for a period of time after you leave our Site or services. The length of time a persistent Cookie stays on your device varies from Cookie to Cookie. We use persistent Cookies to store your preferences so that they are available for the next visit, and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit our services, how often you return, how your use of the services may vary over time. We also use persistent Cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising efforts. Through these Cookies, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our services.

Third Party Cookies

Some Cookies are placed by a third party on your device and may provide information to us and third parties about your browsing habits (such as your visits to our services, the pages you have visited, and the links and advertisements you have clicked). These Cookies can be used to determine whether certain third party services are being used, to identify your interests, to retarget advertisements to you, and to serve advertisements to you that we or others believe are relevant to you. We do not control third party Cookies. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt out by clicking here. If you are located in the E.U., click here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served ads; you will continue to receive generic ads.
