Performance/Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor—all information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. We use these cookies to:

  • Analyze how visitors use our Site

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies and about how Google protects your data on the Google Analytics policy page.

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples include:

  • Cookies that remember your login details so you don’t have to enter them every time you return to the Site

Targeting/Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

While we may use targeting/advertising cookies for marketing purposes, we do not use these cookies to build a profile of your browsing interests that enables targeted marketing without your consent.

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this Site.
