What types of technologies do we use?
We use various technologies that are essentially small data files placed on your computer, mobile phone or other device (collectively, “devices”). These technologies allow us to collect information about you whenever you browse our website, use our services or receive an email from us, which in turn helps us differentiate you from other users of our websites and services and provide you with a good experience when you browse our websites or use our services. The specific names and types of cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies we or our third-party partners use may change from time to time. You are always free to block, delete, or disable these technologies, see “How to opt-out” below for more information.
Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your hard drive or in device memory by a website so it can remember something about you or your device for a later date. Among other things, cookies support the integrity of our registration process, retain your preferences and account settings, and help evaluate and compile aggregated statistics about user activity.
Web Beacons
Web beacons are small electronic images that may be included on our sites, emails and services. They work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behaviour, such as counting the number of visits to our website or letting us know whether an email has been opened and acted upon.
Similar Technologies
Similar technologies will store information in your browser, this includes flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These similar technologies can operate in your browsers and in some instances may not be fully managed by your browser and may require management directly through your installed applications or device.
The cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies we use on our websites are either set by us or third-party partners. They can be categorized as follows:

To opt-out of the use of third-party advertising-related technologies, see the section “How to opt-out” below. Opting out of our advertising-related technologies does not necessarily mean that you will not see our advertising; rather the advertising will not be targeted to you through these technologies.
