Cookie Notice

Thank you for visiting this website and viewing this Cookie Notice (this “Notice”). For more information about the types of information we collect, how we use such information, and who we share it with, please read our online Website Privacy Policy. Certain terms used in this Notice have the meaning given to them in our Website Privacy Policy.

This Notice is effective as of April, 2024.

What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you access a website. When you visit our website and agree to have cookies set on your computer or mobile device, basic information is passively collected through your Web browser via such cookies or similar tracking technologies. We explain why we use cookies further below.

Websites can use different types of cookies including ‘first-’ and ‘third-’ party cookies and session or persistent cookies. We briefly explain those different types of cookies below:

  • First-party cookies are cookies set by the website visited by a user (i.e., the website displayed at the top of the browser).
  • Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by a user. If you visit a website but another company sets a cookie through that website, it would be a third-party cookie.
  • Session cookies allow websites to link a user’s actions during their browser session. Session cookies are temporary and remain on your device until you leave the website you are currently visiting.
  • Persistent cookies, unlike session cookies, remain on a user’s device in between browser sessions and remember the user’s actions and preferences on a website or even potentially across different websites. Persistent cookies may be used to remember your preferences.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use first-party cookies and third-party cookies on our website. The first-party cookies are persistent cookies and used for legal purposes. The third-party cookies are both session and persistent cookies and are set by our third-party service providers. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). For more information on how Google uses this data, go to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn more about how to opt out of Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. If you do not allow cookies to be set on your computer or device, you may be unable to access certain parts of our website or certain parts of our website may have reduced functionality.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies are used on our website in order to:

  • personalize and enhance your experience on our website;
  • comply with our legal obligations;
  • track, compile, and analyze your use of our website (including which pages or portions of our website you are viewing and where you are viewing them from); and
  • secure and optimize our website.

Browser-level cookie controls

Most Web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings. These settings can usually be found in the ‘Settings’, ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser. The links below are provided to help you find the settings for some common browsers.

We reserve the right to update this Notice from time to time. Please check our website periodically for such updates since all information collected as described herein is subject to the Notice in place at the time of collection.
