Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2024
Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to place on your computer’s hard drive or device. They were traditionally used to remember information about your visit (like your preferences, login status, etc.) so the next time you visit, the site can recall those preferences and make your experience easier and more personalized. Cookies can be “session-based” (lasting only for the duration of your visit to the website) or “persistent” (remaining on your device for a set period of time, sometimes until the cookie is explicitly removed).
Types of Cookies Used On Our Website
Our website uses various types of cookies to ensure functionality and improve user experience. These can be categorized into:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, if they receive error messages from web pages, and how long they stay on a page. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; the information collected is aggregated and used to improve our website’s performance and user experience.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and may share this information with other organizations or advertisers.
Managing or Deleting Cookies
If you wish to control, manage, delete, or disable cookies on your computer or device, you have the ability to do so. These settings can typically be found in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser. Review your browser’s privacy and security settings for more details on how to adjust your cookie preferences. You may also be able to opt-out from third-party cookies directly through the third party’s website.
Third-Party Cookies and Their Usage
Our website sometimes uses third-party cookies, which are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. If you visit a page that contains embedded content, service, or a plug-in from a third party (like a YouTube video or an Instagram feed), their service may set a cookie on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies – those websites will have their own cookie policies that describe their use of cookies.
Consent and Control
We aim to respect users’ privacy preferences. When you first visit our website, you will be informed about our use of cookies and asked to consent to their placement on your device. You can also change your cookie settings at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” link provided in the website footer or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
