Managing Your Information Preferences
Cookie Policy and User Control: This section of our Cookie Notice informs you about the cookies we use for personalizing content, targeting advertisements, and analyzing site usage. You will also find information on how to restrict cookie usage if you prefer. This policy should be considered alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details on how we handle personal information.
Understanding the Variety of Cookies We Use
We use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
- Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
- Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Enhancing Cookie Management
You may choose to set your web browser to not accept cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, certain parts of the System may not function properly or as intended by us.
Some of the areas of our System may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes known as clear gifs) that allow the organization, and its third-party providers or affiliates, to count and track users who have visited certain portions of our System.
Ancillary Information
Usage Data refers to data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
We may also gather information on how the Service is accessed and used, known as "Usage Data." This can include details such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service visited, the time and date of visits, duration spent on pages, interactions with ads, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. From an IP address, we may determine a user’s Internet Service Provider and approximate geographic location.
