Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website or mobile application. Pixels, clear gif’s, and other tracking technologies operate similarly. The term “cookies” in this Notice refers to all files that collect information in this manner.

Cookies retain information about activity on a website and provide that information to the website owner. We use cookies to manage performance and optimize our technology to ensure the Websites operate as designed. When you visit the Websites, we place session and persistent cookies in order to facilitate your use of the Websites by recognizing you when you return or delivering content according to your language and profile. Information we collect via cookies may be linked to your personal information we have previously collected. You can disable cookies on your device at any time by adjusting your browser or mobile application preferences or settings. If you do so, you may be unable to access certain parts of the Websites. You can also delete cookies at any time through your browser or mobile application settings.

Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. We currently do not honor “do not track” signals. If we do so in the future, we will update this Notice accordingly.
