  1. Cookies Policy

This cookie policy is intended to inform you about their use, but does not govern the use of our website or the processing of personal information. The Cookie Policy should therefore be read in close conjunction with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions.

  1. Cookies and other automatic means of collecting passive data

In this cookie policy, cookies and other automated means (for example, “web beacons”) will be collectively referred to as “cookies” in this policy, except as stated in this section.

This section provides more information about some of these technologies and how they work.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the site each time the visitor returns. Most major websites use cookies. Because the browser provides this information to the cookie site on each visit, cookies serve as a kind of tag that allows a site to “recognize” a browser when it returns to the site.

Cookies store information about your activities on a website or other platform. For example, cookies may store session information to easily connect you to a website or other platform you have previously visited.

Web Beacons

Clear GIFs (also known as “web beacons”) are used in conjunction with cookies to help website operators understand how visitors interact with their websites. A clear GIF is usually a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) placed on a website. Using a clear GIF allows the site to measure the visitor’s actions by opening the page containing the clear GIF. It facilitates the tracking and recording of a recognized browser’s activities, such as the path of pages accessed on a website.

Clear GIFs, which can be embedded in web pages, videos or e-mails, can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, verify that you have viewed a particular web page or e-mail message mail and determine, among other things, the time and date you viewed the Clear GIF, your computer’s IP address, and the URL of the web page from which it was viewed.
