A “cookie” is a unique numeric code that is transferred to your computer to track your interests and preferences and to recognize you as a return visitor. A “pixel tag” (also known as a web beacon) is a transparent graphic image placed on a website, email, or advertisement that enables the monitoring of things such as user activity and site traffic, including the collection of data about the website or mobile application you were visiting before and after you came to our websites and applications.

You can choose to opt-in, or decline cookies at any time; however, if you choose to opt-out of or decline cookies, not all elements of our websites, applications and services may function as intended, so your experience may be affected. To the extent that your local laws consider the information collected by cookies and other technologies as Personal Data, we will treat that information to the standards set out in our Privacy Statement. Session cookies will be deleted after you close your browser or leave the website. We also use persistent cookies that will not be deleted after you close your browser or leave the website. If the retention period of a persistent cookie or pixel is not noted, then the default is twelve (12) months, unless a shorter retention period is required by law.
