Disabling Cookies
If you do not agree to the use of these cookies, please disable them by following the instructions for your browser or use available automated disabling tools.. Please note that parts of the Website may not function as well if cookies are disabled.
Where the organization setting the cookie provides an automated disabling tool with respect to its cookie(s), we list the name of that organization and the category of cookies it sets together with a link to its automated disabling tool. In all other cases, we list the names of the cookies themselves and their source at the date of this Cookies Policy so that you can easily identify and disable them if you want through your browser controls.
Some browsers make it possible for you to signal that you do not want your internet browsing activity to be tracked. Disabling tracking may interfere with your use of the Website and the services provided on the Website.
After your initial visit to the Website, we may change the cookies we use. This Cookies Policy will always allow you to know who is placing cookies, for what purpose, and give you the means to disable them; therefore, you should check it from time to time.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains, so when you visit the Website, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, remember preferences, and generally improve the user experience. They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through tracking your browsing across websites.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, and persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example, to remember your user preferences when you return to the site).

Performance Cookies
We make use of analytic cookies to analyze how our visitors use our Website and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular or which method of linking between pages is most effective and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the Website. The information collected by these cookies is not associated with your personal information by us or by our contractors.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies (or targeting cookies) collect information about the browsing habits associated with your device and are used to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used by services provided by third parties on the Website, such as “Like” or “Share” buttons, in addition to providing the requested functionality. Third parties provide these services in return for recognizing that you have (or, more accurately, your device has) visited a certain website. These third parties put down advertising cookies both when you visit our Website and when you use their services and navigate away from our Website. Their privacy practices are set out below:

HTML Email Web Beacons
Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to you and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should select to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
Use of IP Addresses and Web Logs
We may also use your IP address and browser type to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Website, and to improve the service we offer to you. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on the internet. Your IP address might also be used to gather broad demographic information.
We may perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from (e.g., Google.com) to more accurately gauge our users’ demographics.
