We would like to inform you in a simple, clear and transparent manner about our use of cookies and similar technologies before you browse our site.
When does this policy apply?
This Policy describes the personal information that we may collect through our site, and how we use it. Please read it along with our website privacy policy, which is available here.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document stored on your computer or other device (and maintained by your browser) when you visit a website. It often includes a randomized unique identifier so that a website can “recognize” this cookie again on your next visit. Cookies allow the functioning of websites, improve browsing, or provide certain information to website owners, particularly in terms of audience measurement.
Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, but they facilitate, for example, finding preferences, pre-filling certain fields or adapting the content of the services on the visited site. Such data allows us to improve the ergonomics of our site and our services according to your interests.
What is interested-based advertising, and do we conduct any?
Applicable laws may require us to disable by default, and seek your permission to activate, technological functionalities that enable us to locate, identify or profile you. If they apply, we will comply with these requirements.
Interest-based advertising (also known as targeted or behavioral advertising) means that we take note of your preferences and interests through cookies or otherwise, and then use them to show you advertising and marketing materials that are relevant to you (based on those preferences and interests).
Without interest-based advertising, you would still be getting ads when browsing the Internet. However, these ads would not be personalized based on your preferences and interests – and so, they would be less relevant to you, and less effective for us.
We perform interest-based advertising. For instance, we use partners to provide you with ads based on your browsing history and search requests and to provide you with personalized ads based on your viewing content.
Do we use cookies, and why?
We install our own cookies and third party cookies on your browser or device through our site. Some of these cookies are uninstalled automatically at the end of your browsing session. Others are persistent, which means that they remain installed for up to 24 months unless you uninstall them.
We use cookies for our site to function as intended, to conduct marketing, to analyze our performance and to ensure that our websites are secure. Cookies are also useful to identify bugs and errors.
