1. What are cookies?

During the process of visiting the website, a small data file, commonly referred to as a "cookie," can be inserted into your web browser. The primary purpose of this action is to verify your identity as a user and protect your personal information. Cookies serve multiple functions, including facilitating specific services, providing analytical data, storing user preferences, and enabling the distribution of advertisements and behavioral advertising.

There are two distinct categories of cookies: transient or session cookies and permanent or persistent cookies. Session cookies are inherently temporary, as they are immediately removed from the web browser upon its closure. In contrast, permanent cookies persist within the browser until they either reach their predetermined expiration date or are intentionally deleted. These cookies are assigned specific expiration dates, varying in duration from a few minutes to many years.

First-party cookies are cookies placed by the website onto the user's web browser's storage device. However, when cookies are created by a domain different from the one being accessed, they are sometimes referred to as "third-party cookies."

Pixel tags and cookies work closely together on our websites. While participating in online browsing, individuals may have come across pixel tags, web beacons, or clear GIFs on various websites. Pixels collaborate with cookies to monitor the behaviors and activities of users who arrive at our website through various services. The use of pixel tags by both our corporate partners and ourselves serves various purposes, including retargeting, as explained in our Privacy Statement, and other forms of interest-based advertising as outlined in Section 5.

2. What cookies are used for when I use the Site?

Should you decide to utilize the website or our services, there's a chance that cookies will be installed in your browser by us or a third party. We kindly ask that you read our Privacy Policy in order to gain a deeper understanding of the many types of cookies that are used and the corresponding temporal patterns in which they are utilized.

Among the several tasks that cookies can perform are the following:

First-party cookies are required in order to use some of the website's features, such enabling successful transaction processing or preserving persistent sign-in.

We collect data about the use of the Site/s using analytics cookies in order to improve their functionality and evaluate their effectiveness. Furthermore, it's critical to recognize that these cookies may be employed for A/B testing purposes, which would allow for the assessment of user reactions to various advertisements, websites, or features. First-party and third-party cookies are the two separate categories into which analytics cookies can be divided.

Cookies that are used to save user preferences on a website are sometimes called "preference cookies."

Advertising networks or platforms place third-party cookies, also known as "behavioral" or "targeted" advertising cookies, on users' computers. Utilizing these technologies accomplishes two main goals: (i) making it easier to display adverts and assess their efficacy, and (ii) offering customized ads based on user preferences and interests as identified by online activity.

3. How do third parties use cookies on the Sites?

Cookies are essential to the gathering of anonymous user data for advertising networks, third-party services, analytics, and other purposes. These businesses use cookies to track users' behavior on the website and on other websites they visit in the future. They can also view and assess what users do on the website. After undergoing an anonymization procedure, the collected data is used to extract important insights about the interests and behavior of users. This method makes it easier to give advertisements and services that are more precisely targeted.

If someone has a general dislike for cookies, or a particular sort of cookie, they can change the browser's settings to delete cookies that have already been saved and refuse to accept new ones. To have a thorough understanding of the process, you should refer to the instructions provided by your web browser. It is important to understand that choosing to reject or remove our cookies may make it harder for you to use specific services, maintain your preferences, and access some areas of our websites.
