How We Apply Cookies

Cookies and System Functionality: We utilize cookies to remember who you are and enhance your interaction with our System. These cookies store information related to your usage, like your device’s IP address and browser type, and if you arrived via a third-party site, the URL of that site. For registered users, cookies facilitate seamless verification and interaction with our services.

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.

Social buttons

On many of the site's web pages you will see ‘social buttons'. These enable users to share or bookmark web pages. There are buttons for Social media websites.

In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, scripts from domains outside the Company are used. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about your internet browsing, including on the Company's site. So, if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases, if you are logged into their services, these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting the Company's website, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don't click on the button.

You should check the respective privacy and cookie policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

You can choose to disable and enable all non-essential cookies by clicking on the relevant setting in the cookie banner which pops up at the top of the screen when you enter the site. JavaScript must be

enabled in order to see this banner and select your cookie preferences. All but strictly necessary cookies are set at “off” by default.

Email Open Tracking

Our emails may use a web beacon pixel to understand if you open our emails and interact with the contents, such as clicking on links. This helps us tailor our communications to better match your interests. If you prefer not to be tracked, you can read the email in plain text or disable images.

Our approach to cookies and local storage is dynamic and may change as we innovate our services. While the specific types of cookies may vary, they typically adhere to previously stated categories. Regular updates to this page will keep you informed of any changes.
