    COOKIES

    When you access or use the website, we use “cookies” or similar tracking technologies, which store certain information on your device (i.e., locally stored). The use of cookies is standard industry-wide practice. A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assigns and stores on your computer while you are viewing a website. Cookies are used by us for various purposes, including allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, as well as for statistical purposes, analytic purposes and advertising. You can find more information about our use of cookies here: www.allaboutcookies.org.

    There are several types of cookies, including without limitation:

    • Essential, Functionality, Operation & Security Cookies. These cookies are essential for enabling visitor movement around the website, for the website to function properly, and for security purposes (i.e., used to authenticate visitors, prevent fraudulent use, and protect visitor data from unauthorized parties). This category of cookies either cannot be disabled, or if disabled, certain features of the website may not work.

    • Analytic, Measurement & Performance Cookies. These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our website, in order to improve our website, content, and the way we offer them, as well as assess the performance of the content and marketing campaigns. These cookies enable us, for example, to assess the number of visitors who have viewed a certain page as well as their country of origin. It enables our website to remember information that changes the way it behaves or looks, such as your preferred language. Our product analytics provider, PostHog, operates in a cookieless mode by default, using a server-side hash and without placing cookies or identifiers in localStorage on your device. If you accept Analytics Cookies, analytics becomes cookie-based. If you reject or do not respond to the cookie banner, only anonymous cookieless analytics continues.

    • Preference, Targeting & Advertising Cookies. These cookies are used to advertise across the internet and to display relevant ads tailored to visitors based on the parts of the website they have visited (e.g., the cookie will indicate you have visited a certain webpage and will show you ads relating to that webpage).

    You may find more information about the cookies we use as well as opt-out from cookies or change your preferences at any time by using the cookies setting tool available on the footer of our website.

    Where we use third-party advertising cookies, such third-party may independently collect, through the use of such tracking technologies, some or all types of Personal Data detailed above, as well as additional data sets, including to combine such information with other information they have independently collected relating to your online activities across their network of websites, for the purpose of enhanced targeting functionality and delivering personalized ads, as well as providing aggregated analytics related to the performance of our advertising campaign you interacted with. These third parties collect and use this information under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

    Although we do not sell your personal information for profit we do engage in targeted advertising on the website, this type of advertising activity may be considered a “sale” of Personal Data under certain US Privacy Laws and may also be referred to as “targeted advertising”. Please note that even if you opt-out you may still see personalized ads based on information other companies and ad networks have collected about you, if you have not opted out of sharing with them.

    For IBA opt out options on desktop and mobile websites, please visit:

    We honor Do Not Track (DNT), Global Privacy Control (GPC), and other applicable browser-based opt-out signals. When such a signal is detected, we treat it as “Reject All”: the cookie banner is not shown, non-essential cookies are disabled, and only anonymous cookieless analytics continues, unless you later expressly opt in through the cookie settings.
