What are cookies?
Our Products, like many others, use cookies in order to work properly.
Cookies are small text files, often including unique identifiers, that are downloaded onto your device when you access our Products.

How we use cookies
We and the third-party API providers may collect information using cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used.
We use cookies to understand how users interact with our Products and thus how we can improve them. Our third-party partners, such as analytics or advertising partners, may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different services.
Web beacons, tags, and scripts may be used in the Products or in emails to help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by our service/analytics providers on an individual and aggregated basis.
Unfortunately, in most cases there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to the Products. It is recommended that you accept our usage of cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are necessary for a Product that you use.
The types of cookies used
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Products to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
Performance Cookies
These cookies help us to understand how users engage with the Products. We may use a set of analysis cookies to collect information on how you use our Products and report usage statistics. In addition to reporting Product usage statistics, data collected may also be used, together with some of the advertising cookies described, to help show more relevant ads across the web and to measure interactions with the ads we show.
Functional Cookies
We use a set of cookies that enable certain parts of the Products to function properly. These cookies allow our Products to remember choices you make when you visit our Products in order to provide enhanced, more personalized features to you. They are usually only set in response to information provided to the Products in order to personalize and optimize your experience.
Targeting Cookies
We use cookies to make our ads more engaging and valuable to users of our Products. Some common applications of cookies are to select advertising based on what is relevant to a user; to improve reporting on ad campaign performance; and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies are either “session” cookies which are deleted when you end your browser session, or “persistent,” which remain until their deletion by you (discussed below) or the party who served the cookie. Full details on all of the cookies used are available in the Cookie Disclosure Table below.
