(1) Cookies: Which Ones Do We Use and Why?

We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System. Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.

(2) Interaction with Linked Non-Company Websites

Social Media Engagement Notice: Engaging with our content via social media platforms (like liking or sharing our posts) might result in those platforms recording your activities and possibly setting cookies to track these interactions. If you prefer to opt out from such tracking, please consult the specific settings and instructions provided by each social media platform.

(3) Authorizing Cookie Usage

Modern browsers offer comprehensive controls for managing cookies. You have the option to delete existing cookies or block new ones as per your preference. While cookies enhance site navigation and user experience, the choice to disable them is yours.

(4) Extra Policies

Email Tracking Confirmation We include a "web beacon pixel" in our emails to track if they are opened and to monitor any interactions with links within the email. This helps us identify which emails are of interest and whether users not opening emails prefer to continue receiving them. To avoid downloading the pixel, consider viewing emails in plain text or disabling images.

(5) Adjustments in Cookie Handling Procedures

As our services evolve with ongoing technological improvements, we may periodically update this Policy to ensure it aligns with our latest operational practices. We encourage you to visit this page regularly to stay informed about the current policy.
