Cookie Policy:

What are cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies may gather certain types of information from you, including demographic data, technical information, IP address, and information about your browsing activity.

How do we use cookies? We use different types of cookies for different purposes.

“Essential” cookies are necessary for us to provide the Services through the website and to enable you to use some features. If essential cookies are disabled, our website and Services may not work properly.
“Functionality” cookies store information such as choices you make and login information to provide you with a more personalized and efficient experience when using our website and Services.
“Analytics and Performance” cookies store information about traffic to the website and browsing behaviors so that we can ensure that our website is functioning as intended, to improve performance of the website and Services, and to ensure that linking and advertising are working properly.

We may also use third-party cookies to enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that provide these third party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. We do not control these third party cookies, we are not responsible for any decisions you make with respect to third party cookies, and your rights with respect to third party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of their respective third party providers.

Can I deactivate cookies? You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

Third party links:

If you choose to visit any third party websites via any links provide on our websites, you will be leaving our Services and this Privacy Policy will not apply to your use of any such websites or services. Rather, your privacy rights with respect to any third party websites and services will be governed by the privacy policies provided on those sites or through those third party services.

How long we retain your information:

We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information.

How we store and protect your information:

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

While we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk, and you should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Do not track policy

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

Updates to this notice:

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
