1. Cookie Definition: What Do They Mean?

Have you ever wondered how websites recognize you or remember your preferences? That's the work of a small text file called a "cookie," which your web browser downloads when you visit a website. Cookies are crucial in enhancing your online experience by verifying your identity and safeguarding your private information. They are used for several purposes, including storing your site preferences, delivering tailored advertisements, gathering analytical insights, and simplifying certain website features.

Cookies come in two main varieties: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies last only for browsing and disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, however, stay in your browser until you delete them manually or until they expire, which could be anywhere from a few minutes to several years after they're set.

We differentiate between first-party cookies, created by the website you're visiting, and third-party cookies, made by a website other than the one you're currently on.

In addition to cookies, our websites utilize pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixel tags) to work in conjunction with cookies, helping us to analyze user behavior and interactions on our site. These tools are essential for us and our partners to deliver interest-based ads (as detailed in Section 5 of our policy) and for retargeting purposes, ensuring that our marketing efforts are as relevant and effective as possible.

2. How Does the Website Use Cookies?

We, or third parties, may deploy cookies to your web browser whenever you visit our website or use our services. For detailed information on our cookie practices, including the types and purposes used, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Here's how cookies function and benefit your experience on our site:

  1. Essential Cookies: First-party cookies are crucial for the website to operate correctly. They facilitate processes such as transaction completion and keeping you logged in seamlessly.
  2. Analytical Cookies: These cookies collect data on how you interact with our site, allowing us to measure and improve its performance. They support us in A/B testing to determine which site versions, ads, or features resonate best with our users. Both first-party and third-party analytical cookies are utilized for these insights.
  3. Preference Cookies: Also known as preference cookies, these are used to remember your settings and preferences on our website, making your experience more personalized and convenient.
  4. Advertising Cookies: These third-party cookies are placed by advertising networks and are aimed at delivering advertisements that are most relevant to you. They track your online activity to provide tailored ads and evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These are often called "targeted" or "behavioral" cookies, focusing on aligning ads with your interests.

3. What Is the Website’s Policy on Third-Party Cookies

By collecting anonymous user data, cookies play a pivotal role in third-party services, including advertising networks and analytics platforms. Thanks to cookies, these entities can monitor users' activities on our site and their subsequent online behavior across different sites. Although this data is collected anonymously, it's instrumental in understanding user preferences and behaviors, facilitating the delivery of more tailored advertising and services.

4. Your Cookie Preferences

Users who prefer to limit or specify their cookie acceptance can do so through their web browser settings. This allows for the deletion of existing cookies and the ability to reject future ones. Refer to your web browser's help documentation for detailed guidance on managing these settings. Be mindful, however, that opting out of our cookies may affect your ability to use certain features, remember your preferences, or access specific areas of our websites efficiently.

For more information on managing cookies, including how to disable them, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers.

5. How Can You Manage Your Cookie Preferences?

Our cookie policy explains cookies' role in enhancing your experience on our website and services. It's worth noting that turning off cookies might affect how our website functions.
