By continuing to use or browse our sites, services, applications, tools or messages, you agree to our use of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies as described herein and in our Privacy Policy.

 

 

What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies?

 

 

These technologies are basically small data files that are placed on your computer, tablet, cell phone or other device ("collectively, a "device"), and allow us to record information when you access or interact with our websites, services, applications, messages and other tools. Although these technologies are often referred to generally as "Cookies," each works in a slightly different way, which is explained in more detail below:

Cookies: These are small text files (usually consisting of letters and numbers) that are placed in the memory of your browser or device when you access a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of cookies:

  • Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that particular browser session.
  • Persistent cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
  • First-party cookies are those set by a web site that the user accessed at the time to preserve your settings (e.g., while on our site).
  • They are placed third party cookies in your browser by a website or domain that is not the website or domain you are currently visiting. If a user accesses a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

When you access a website that uses cookies, you may be asked to complete a form to provide personal information, such as your name, email address and interests. This information is placed in a cookie and sent to your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), which stores the information for later use. The next time you access the same website, your browser will send the cookie to the server. Each time the browser requests a page on the server, the message is sent again.

Web beacons: small files (also called "pixels", "image tags" or "script tags") that may be loaded on our sites, applications and tools, which may work in conjunction with cookies to identify our servers and provide anonymous data about your behavior.

Similar technologies: technologies that store information on your browser or device through local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies and other web application software methods. These technologies may work in all of your browsers, and in some cases, may not be fully managed by your browser and may need to be managed directly through your installed applications or device. We do not use these technologies to store information to provide you with targeted advertising on or off our sites.

 

 

What types of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies do we use and why?

 

Our cookies, web beacons and similar technologies serve various purposes, but are generally necessary or essential to the operation of our sites, services, applications, tools or messages, help us improve performance and provide you with more of their features, or help us present relevant and targeted advertisements. More specifically:

Strictly Necessary or Critical: "Strictly necessary" or "critical" cookies, web beacons and similar technologies allow you to move around the website and use its critical features, such as secure areas and shopping baskets. Without these technologies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. Please note that these technologies do not collect information about you that can be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the Internet. Your acceptance of these technologies is a condition of your use of our sites, services, applications, tools or messages. Therefore, if you do not allow them to load, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use them or how security will respond during your access.

Performance: Cookies, web beacons and similar "performance" technologies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you access and whether errors occur. These cookies do not collect information that can identify you and are used only so that we can improve how our website works, understand what our users are interested in, and measure how effective our content is using statistics and anonymous data regarding how our website is used. Your acceptance of these technologies is a condition of your use of our sites, services, applications, tools or messages. Therefore, if you do not allow them to load, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use them or how security will respond during your access.

Functionality: These cookies, web beacons or similar technologies are used to provide services or to remember settings to improve your access.

Advertising: Our sites, applications or tools must use first-party or third-party cookies and web beacons in order to deliver relevant content, including product-related advertisements, based on your specific interests on our sites or on third-party sites. These technologies allow us to understand how useful our ads are, and also to improve the relevance of the content we deliver to our users.

We also use third-party service providers to help us perform the same functions, which means that our authorized service providers may also place cookies, web beacons and similar technologies on your device through our services (third-party cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify your device, such as IP address, or other unique or device identifiers.
