What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are
placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies
are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work or to
work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this

analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize
your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it
visits certain other websites.

for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or
"strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and

What About Other Tracking Technologies, Like Web Beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to
recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar
technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called
"tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that
contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has
visited our Websites or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us,
for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page
within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to
understand whether you have come to the website from an online
advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site
performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.
In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function
properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do You Use Flash Cookies Or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash
Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other
things, collect and store information about your use of our services,
fraud prevention and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored
on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to
block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website
Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to
the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which
may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete
existing Flash Cookies (referred to as "information" on the Macromedia
site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer
without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to
block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the
page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash
Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or
impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including,
potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or
online content.
Do You Serve Targeted Advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your
computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites.
These companies may use information about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and
services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology
that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be
accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information
about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant
advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.
The information collected through this process does not enable us or
them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that
directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from
time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we
use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please,
therefore, re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about
our use of cookies and related technologies.
