For the purposes of this Cookie Notice, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services, whether you are a customer, website visitor, representative of a company with whom we do business, or another individual whose information we have collected pursuant to this Cookie Notice.

What are cookies?

The Services automatically use cookies to track your use of the Services in order to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Services and for other purposes as described below. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. We use cookies to learn and track how you access and use the Services, including when and how users visit the Services and how popular particular Service pages are and aren’t. We also use cookies to recognize Services users, to provide you with customized and more relevant advertising, to help display information on the Services, and to improve your enjoyment and the usefulness of the Services, for example, by remembering and displaying certain information.

The Services may use both cookies that we implement (sometimes referred to as first-party cookies) and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties (sometimes referred to as third-party cookies). The types of information collected by a cookie and the purposes for which that information is used will depend on the type of cookie. By way of illustration, the types of cookies used, the types of information collected by those cookies, and the purposes for which that information are used are described below.

• Necessary cookies are required for the operation of the Services.
• Functional cookies offer enhanced functionality when accessing or using the Services.
• Performance & analytical cookies assess the performance of the Services and enable us to personalize content and remember your preferences.
• Advertising or targeted cookies are used to make the Services and its content more relevant to your interests (this is sometimes called “behavioral” or “targeted” advertising and is further discussed above) and to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

For more information about cookies, including about advertising cookies and your choices regarding cookies, we suggest you visit the following websites: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0042-online-tracking; http://www.allaboutcookies.org; and http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of Tracking Technologies. If you so choose, you may block or delete our cookies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting cookies may cause some of the Services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly. Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new device, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file. If you have questions regarding the specific information about you that we process or retain, as well as your choices regarding our collection and use practices, please contact us using the information listed below.

Analytics Tools & Providers

As noted above the Services use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the Services. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data, and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the Services’ structure and content.

For example, we utilize Google Analytics and other analytical tools offered by Google. For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s Cookie Notice and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Company from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Service itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

Advertising networks, Personalized Advertising, Remarketing & Retargeting

We may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including Google Ads and advertising services provided by Meta (sometimes referred to the Meta “tracking pixel”), and advertising services provided by TikTok (sometimes referred to as TikTok Pixels).

Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of the Services and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a website.

Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Service and your interaction with our products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics Advertising Features on the Services. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions.

To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature (“Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.

Do Not Track

Your browser settings may allow you to transmit a “do not track” signal, “opt-out preference” signal, or other mechanism for exercising your choice regarding the collection of your information when you visit various websites. Like many websites, our website is not designed to respond to such signals, and we do not use or disclose your information in any way that would legally require us to recognize opt-out preference signals.
