We use Tracking Technologies to allow the Website to operate, to increase its functionality and efficiency, to analyse how you use it so that we can improve it, to tailor the content and information that we display to you, to provide you with targeted advertisements, and fulfill other legitimate purposes as described below.
To the extent that any information collected by the Tracking Technologies, either on its own or in combination with other information, constitutes Personal Data as the term is defined in our Privacy Notice, both our Privacy Notice and this Notice shall apply to the processing and transferring of such Personal Data.
Cookies and other tracking technologies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) that contains information about your browser and online activity. This information often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your device.
We may also use:
Local storage
Local storage enables our Website to store information locally on your device. Local storage may be used to improve your experience with our Website, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up our Website functionality.
GIFs (a.k.a. “web beacons”)
Our Website may also employ a software technology called clear that helps us better manage content on our Website by providing insight into which content is most effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are used to track the online movements of Website users.
Local shared objects (a.k.a. “flash cookies”)
Flash cookies are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on your device.
Pixels
A tracking pixel is a 1x1 pixel graphic used for the purpose of tracking user behavior, web traffic and site conversions. A tracking pixel allows us to collect data relating to the use of our Website. Tracking pixels are used to trigger advertisements on any participating websites based on the activity tracked from your browser or device and can also be used for third-party web analytics.
Other similar tracking technologies
We may also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Notice.
As noted above, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “Tracking Technologies” in this Notice.
How we respond to Do Not Track Signals
“Do Not Track” is an optional browser setting that you can use to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third-parties. Please note, however, that our Website does not have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from web browsers at this time.
Opting out
You can alter the configuration of your browser to reject certain types of Tracking Technologies, including cookies. Please note, however, that if you reject certain cookies, you may not be able to access and use all of the features on our Website.

You may also control your online behavioural advertising preferences and opt out from having your data processed by certain marketing companies by visiting https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and https://optout.aboutads.info/. Please note, however, that managing these preferences will not turn off internet advertisements in general. You will still receive the same number of advertisements, but those advertisements will be less reflective of your interests, as indicated by your web browsing habits. In addition, please note that the opt-out preferences that you set using these tools may be nullified if you delete your cookies after setting them.
