We may place cookies and other similar technology on your device, including any mobile device, in accordance with applicable laws and your preferences set on our cookie manager.  Strictly necessary cookies will always be turned on, as they are necessary for your device to work properly with our Site, and you can select any other cookies you are willing to accept on your device.  Depending on your settings, the following information may be collected through cookies or similar technology: email opens and clicks, your unique device identifier, mobile device IP address, information about your device’s operating system, mobile carrier and your location information (to the extent permissible under applicable law).  

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. Those cookies are set by us and are called first-party cookies. We may also use “web beacons” to help deliver cookies and gather usage and performance data. Web beacons are small image files that may be used in conjunction with cookies to monitor Site activity, such as page views and clicks. Unlike cookies, web beacons do not store information on your device, but they may be used to collect information about your interaction with our Site. The information provided below about cookies also applies to web beacons and similar technologies. Conversion pixels are small codes located on a particular web page which are triggered when someone visits a page resulting in an increase in the conversion count.  We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different from the domain of the Site you are visiting and are used for advertising and marketing efforts.

Do we use any cookies from third party companies?

When using our Site, you may be directed to other websites for such activities as surveys, to apply for a job, or to view content hosted on those sites. These websites may use their own cookies, web beacons and other tracking and storage technologies. We do not have control over the placement of cookies by other websites you visit, even if you are directed to them from our Site.

In some cases, some cookies and similar technologies that we use may be from third party companies (third-party cookies), to provide us with web analytics and intelligence about our Site which may also be used to provide measurement services and target ads. These companies use programming code to collect information about your interaction with our Site, such as the pages you visit, the links you click on and how long you are on our Site.

What if I don’t want cookies or similar technologies to collect my personal information?

Where required, we obtain your consent before placing optional cookies that are not (i) strictly necessary to provide the Site or (ii) for the purpose of facilitating a communication. We separate these optional cookies by purpose, such as for performance and targeting purposes. Where required, you may consent to certain categories of optional cookies by configuring your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager.

How long do cookies remain on my device?

A cookie or similar technology will exist for different periods of time depending on the purpose of the cookie. For example, a session cookie which enables the Site to operate will only exist on your device whilst you browse our Site, but other cookies will remain on your device for longer such as some functionality cookies which need to stay on your device so that the Site can recognize you when you return.
