Our approach to privacy includes informing you clearly about our privacy practices. As such, we have made every effort to keep legalese and jargon to a minimum.


This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies are placed on your device when you visit our website, and how we use cookies.


This Cookie Policy does not address how we generally treat your personal information. If you would like to learn more about how we process your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy


What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or device memory.  A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (location on the Internet) from which the cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie (i.e., when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie may also contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history, and activities performed while using our Services.


Are there different types of cookies?


First-party cookies and third-party cookies

There are first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed on your device directly by us. For example, we use first-party cookies to customize our website to your browser's language settings and to better understand your use of our website. Third-party cookies are placed on your device by our partners and service providers. For example, we use third-party cookies to track the number of users of our website or to allow you to share content with others through social media platforms.


Session cookies and persistent cookies

There are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. We use session cookies for numerous reasons, including to learn more about your use of our website during a browser session and to help you use our website more efficiently. Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser. These types of cookies are mainly used to make it easier for you to log back into our website and for analytical purposes.


What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?

Other technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs) are used for the same purposes. Web beacons are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier. This allows us to recognize when someone uses our services or opens an email we have sent.  Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where traffic to our websites is coming from.  SDKs are small snippets of code in apps that work like cookies or web beacons. For simplicity, we also refer to these technologies as "cookies" in this Cookie Policy.

For these purposes, we may also link information from cookies to other personal information we have stored from you.
