They can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of Cookies on the Services:

Without these Cookies, many of the Services cannot be provided. We want you to understand these essential Cookies and why we use them, but we don’t need your consent to use them on our Services, as we use them only to provide you with Services that you have requested. You cannot opt out of these Cookies.
  • Functional Cookies. These Cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make—such as your username, preferences, and settings (e.g., language choice); whether you have used our Services before; limits on how often certain content is displayed; and your general location. The aim of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personalized experience so that you don’t have to reset your preferences each time you use our Services. As described below, you may disable these Cookies; however, doing so may make certain features of our Services unavailable or prevent them from working as intended.
  • Performance Cookies. These Cookies collect information about how you use and interact with our Services—for instance, which parts of the Services you use most often—and help us understand overall usage patterns. They also enable us to personalize content and improve the way our Services function, providing you with a better, more tailored experience.
  • Targeting Cookies. These Cookies track your visits to and interactions with our Services. We, along with third-party advertising platforms or networks, may use this information to make the content and advertisements you see on our Services and other websites more relevant to your interests (this is sometimes called “targeted” advertising). They are also used to limit how often you see a particular advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

Some Cookies are active only while you are visiting a website and are automatically deleted once you close your browser; these are called “session” Cookies. Other Cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions and are not deleted when the browser is closed; these are called “persistent” Cookies. The duration of a persistent Cookie varies depending on the specific Cookie.

​
Third-Party Cookies

Certain third parties, such as advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analytics, may also place Cookies on our Services. For example, we use trusted partners such as Google Analytics to help us understand how our Services are used. Google Analytics uses performance Cookies to track visitor interactions, including which pages are visited, which are most popular, the time of visits, whether a visitor has been to our Services before, the website that referred the visitor, and other similar information. We have little control over these “third-party” Cookies, so we suggest that you review the respective privacy policies of these external providers to help you understand what data they collect about you and what they do with it.
