COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies (collectively, “Cookie(s)”) are used when you visit our website. This policy explains what these technologies are and why they are used for, as well as your right to control their use. Any change in this Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Cookie Policy available on or through the Site.

What are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file (often including a unique identifier), that is sent to a user’s browser from a website's computers and stored on a user’s computer's hard drive or on a tablet or mobile device (collectively, “Computer”). A cookie stores a small amount of data on your computer, about your visit to the Site. We may also use “web beacons” (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies on our Site to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message. A web beacon is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an email or other type of message, which is retrieved from a remote website on the internet enabling the verification of an individual's viewing or receipt of a web page or message.

A web beacon helps us to understand whether you visit our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, measure successes of email marketing campaigns, and improve our website performance. They may also enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your personal information. In many instances, web beacons rely on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

We place and access cookies on your computer; these cookies are known as “first-party cookies.” while cookies placed and accessed by some of our third-party vendors are known as “third-party Cookies” and are described below. Some cookies are "session cookies," which means that they are temporary cookies that are only stored on your device while you are visiting our Site. Other cookies are "persistent Cookies," which means that they are stored on your device for a period of time after you leave our Site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser. However, if you disable this function (or keep this function disabled, as set by default by certain browsers), your experience on the Site may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
