This Cookie Policy supplements the Privacy Policy and will be treated as part of our\u00a0<\/span>Terms of Service<\/a> <\/span>and is automatically incorporated therein. Moreover, this policy explains these technologies including first- and third-party cookies, pixels, web beacons, and flash cookies, and how you can control them.

For more information about this Cookie Policy, please refer to the contact details<\/a> below.<\/span><\/p>

WHAT IS A COOKIE?<\/b><\/p>

Cookies are small data files that are stored by the web browser (for example, Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Safari) on your computer, mobile device, tablet, or other internet-enabled device. Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a device for recordkeeping and other purposes. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a \u2018memory\u2019 for the website, so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

WHAT IS A WEB BEACON?<\/b><\/p>

Web beacons, such as clear GIFs, web bugs, tracking pixels, or pixel tags, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user\u2019s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We facilitate our clients\u2019 ability to learn more about your interest in their campaigns at their request through their use of these web beacons on our Sites. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly. As a result, declining cookies will impair their functioning.<\/span><\/p>

WHO PLACES COOKIES?<\/b><\/p>

First-party cookies are cookies placed by us. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a third-party entity from a domain other than the one being used by the user at the time of access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

WHAT IS DEVICE IDENTIFICATION?<\/b><\/p>

Device identification is a technology that identifies devices by collecting information from the browser on the device, such as the browser version, operating system, IP address, installed fonts, time zone, and more. These pieces of information are used to uniquely identify a device. The device identification generated through the device identification process may be stored in a cookie.<\/span><\/p>

WHAT IS ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING?<\/b><\/p>

Online behavioral advertising refers to the practice of online advertisers and website owners using information collected through both first- and third-party cookies for the purpose of building user behavior profiles and delivering targeted advertising and content to users based on user preferences.<\/span><\/p>
