How can I control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser,
you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to
manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like
to find out more information, please visit:
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar
technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These
are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has
visited our Websiteor opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic
patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to
understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party
website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many
instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will
impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among
other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other
site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player
to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the
Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the
Global Storage Settings Panel
and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete
existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from
being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block
Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or
impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in
connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website.
These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide
relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ
technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using
cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide
relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected
through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details
that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies
we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy
regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
