Do we use cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies and similar technologies play an important role in helping us provide personal, effective and safe interactions. We use cookies on our website and share those cookies with partners and third parties, like Google Analytics (you may visit here to learn more about how Google uses this information). We may change the cookies and similar technologies periodically as we improve or add to our systems and infrastructure, but we generally use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- To Operate Our Systems and Infrastructure (e.g., our website). Some cookies and similar technologies are essential to the operation of our systems and infrastructure (e.g., our website). We may use those cookies and similar technologies in a number of different ways, including for example:
- Authentication. We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your login state, so you don’t have to login as you navigate throughout our systems and infrastructure.
- Fraud Prevention and Detection. Cookies and similar technologies that we deploy throughout our systems and infrastructure help us learn things about the computers and web browsers used to access them. This information helps us monitor for and detect potentially harmful or illegal use or behavior.
- Preferences. We use cookies and similar technologies to remember how you prefer to use our systems and infrastructure, so that you don’t have to reconfigure your settings each time.
- To Analyze and Improve Our Website, Products and Services. Cookies and similar technologies help us understand how to make our website, products and services work better for you. Cookies and similar technologies tell us how people reach our website and they give us insights into improvements or enhancements we need to make to our website, products and services. For example, we use cookies to identify popular sections of our website, to recognize how frequently you have visited the website, to remember your preferences on our website, and to improve the security of our website.
- For Better Advertising. Cookies and similar technologies can help us provide more effective advertising, whether on our website or elsewhere. For example, we might use a cookie to help prevent you from seeing the same advertisement multiple times or to measure how many times an advertisement is viewed or clicked on.
Each cookie falls within one of the four following categories:
| Category | Description |
| Essential | Essential cookies are sometimes called “strictly necessary” as without them we cannot provide many features, functionalities or services that you need on our website. E.g., essential cookies help remember your preferences as you move around our website, products, or services. |
| Analytics | These cookies track user interactions, e.g., information about your visits to our website, so that we can make improvements and report our performance. This may include analyzing visitor/user behavior, so as to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. E.g., they collect information about how visitors use our website, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on our website. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them. |
| Functional | These cookies are used to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username, language or your region) on our services. |
| Advertising | These cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks in order to deliver ads and/or track ad performance, enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called “behavioral” or “targeted” advertising) on our website. They may subsequently use information about your visit to target you with advertising that you may be interested in, on our website and other websites. |
First Party and Third Party Cookies
Our website may place first party cookies and allow third parties to place cookies on your device.

Third party cookies, on the other hand, are placed on your device by a third party (i.e., not by us). While we may allow third parties to access the Services to place these cookies on users’ devices, we do not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies. This information is controlled wholly by that third party and subject to their privacy notice/policy. The cookies that we commonly use are listed below.
