What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device and to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time.
Cookies store information in your browser or device utilizing local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These technologies can operate across all of your browsers, and in some instances may not be fully managed by your browser and may require management directly through your installed applications or device.
Web beacons (also known as internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs) are a similar technology which typically uses transparent graphic images placed on a site to gather information about a user. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to measure the actions of visitors on websites. We make use of cookies and similar technologies when you visit this Site, and refer to the technologies together as “cookies” throughout this policy.

Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a company other than us, and the information collected is controlled by that other company. For more information on third party cookies used on the Site, see the “Types of cookies used on this Site” section below.

If we transfer your personal data to such a country, we will ensure the protection of your personal data in an appropriate manner. For more information on safeguards we implement in this regard, please see our Privacy Policy.
