16. COOKIES POLICY

16.1 Description of Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to allow websites to work properly or more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

There are two general categories of cookies. “First-party cookies” cookies are set directly by us. “Third-party cookies” are set by a third party, and that third party can recognize your computer both when it visits the Sites and when it visits certain other websites and/or mobile apps.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies”, which exist only while your browser is open and expire once you close your browser. Other cookies are “persistent cookies”, which survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the internet again.

More information on cookies and their use can be found at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

16.2 Why We Use Cookies

When you access our Services, we or companies we work with may place cookies on your computer or other device. These technologies help us better understand user behavior and inform us about which parts of the Sites people have visited.

16.3 We use cookies to:

track traffic flow and patterns of travel in connection with the Sites;

understand the total number of visitors to the Sites on an ongoing basis and the types of internet browsers (e.g. Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g. Windows or Mac OS) used by our visitors; monitor the performance of the Sites and to continually improve them; customize and enhance your online experience; and enable us and third-party to advertise both on and off the Sites.

16.4 Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary because they enable you to move around our Sites and use certain features on our Services. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you to access secure areas. Without these cookies, some Services cannot be provided. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow us to remember the choices you make and to tailor our Services so we can provide relevant content to you. For example, a functionality cookie can remember your preferences (e.g., country or language selection), or your username. Performance/Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use a website. For example, a performance/analytics cookie will collect information about which pages you go to most often, how much time you spend on that page, or if you get error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not gather information that identifies you. The information these cookies collect is anonymous and is only used to improve how our Services work.

Advertising and Tracking Cookies: Our Sites may feature advertising. We may allow third party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Sites. These cookies enable such companies to track your activity across various sites where they display ads and record your activities, so they can show ads that they consider relevant to you as you browse the Internet. These cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you have seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it has been since you last saw it. This information may be used for frequency capping purposes, to help tailor the ads you see, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. These cookies are anonymous – they store information about the content you are browsing, but not about who you are.

16.5 Other Similar Technologies We Use

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as web beacons to track users of our Services. Web beacons, or “clear gifs”, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies.

They are used to track the online movements of web users.

In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We and our third-party service provider employ web beacons for the reasons stated above (under "4.2 – Why We Use Cookies"), but primarily to help us better manage content on our Services by informing us which content is effective.

16.6

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies, and instructions for exercising this right are given below. However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Sites.

Our Cookies. Most browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers – like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari – include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" or "DNT" signals. Since uniform standards for "DNT" signals have not been adopted, our Sites may not be able to process or respond to "DNT" signals.

Advertising Cookies. To opt-out of third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use targeting/advertising cookies, go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Once you click the link, you may choose to opt-out of such advertising from all participating advertising companies or only advertising provided by specific advertising entities.
