Introduction

When you visit or access our website, we will use (and authorize third parties to use) cookies, web beacons, pixels, scripts, tags, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Technologies.”) These technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you and your online behavior in order to enhance your navigation of our website, improve our website’s performance and customize your experience on it. We also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of our website, perform analytics, and deliver content which is tailored to your interests and to administer the website to our users, writers, customers and partners. We also allow third parties to collect information about you through tracking technologies. By using our site, you authorize us to utilize the tracking technologies set out in this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make our website more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently. Cookies remember your preferences, and make the interaction between you and the website smoother and more efficient.

Storing Technologies

We store Technologies when you visit or access our website (typically, when you are visiting our websites) – these are called “First Party Technologies.” In addition, Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on our website – these are called “Third Party Technologies.” Both types of Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our website or for repeat visits.

What types of Technologies do we use?

There are five main types of Technologies:

  • Strictly Necessary Technologies
    These Technologies are essential to enable you to login, navigate around and use the features of our website, or to provide a service requested by you (such as your username). We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Technologies. These Technologies can be used for security and integrity reasons – for example to detect violation of our policies and for support or security features.
  • Functionality Technologies
    These Technologies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our website.
  • Performance Technologies
    These Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our website), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).
  • Marketing or Advertising Technologies
    These Technologies are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests, as well as to perform email marketing campaigns. They can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by our advertisers (for example advertising networks) and provide them insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites or use their app.
  • Social Media Technologies
    Our website includes social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” or “Share” buttons, or third party log-in website. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing these features.
