DATA STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
When you use our services, we might save small pieces of information on your device, with your approval. These are known as cookies—tiny text files with letters and numbers that get stored while you explore our websites and online features, keeping track of your preferences.
We also use something called local shared objects, or "flash cookies," which work similarly to regular cookies. They help us recall your visits across our digital spaces. Neither regular cookies nor flash cookies can peek into your device or pull personal details from it. We use them strictly for oversight purposes, tracking how you interact with our offerings and remembering what you like.
WHY WE USE COOKIES
Cookies let us monitor how you move through our site, tweak our services to suit you better, and make it simpler for you to dive into what we offer. Flash cookies, along with others, help us tailor ads to match your interests more closely.
Essential Cookies
Some cookies are must-haves—they let you roam our site, tap into secure sections, or handle transactions. Without them, our online spaces won’t work as smoothly or fully for you.
Sign-Up Cookies
During account creation, these cookies grab details that help us identify you as a user and deliver the right services. They also give us insights into what you enjoy online, so we can keep refining your experience on our platforms.
Website Cookies
For anyone stopping by our site, we use cookies to gather visitor info. Our systems rely on three cookie types:
- Short-Term Cookies: These stick around just for your visit and vanish when you leave.
- Session Cookies: They speed up your browsing and, for registered users, dish out info that fits your profile. They’re gone once you shut your browser.
- Long-Term Cookies: These hang out on your device for a set time, depending on each cookie’s rules.
We also store flash cookies and tracking cookies, which help us count visitors and see how they use our services. This makes it easier to improve things—like streamlining logins or helping you find what you need fast.
YOUR CONTROL OVER COOKIES
You’re in charge here. You can choose to welcome cookies or turn them away. Most browsers say yes to cookies by default, but you can tweak that. With your browser, you can:
- Wipe out all cookies.
- Stop all cookies from landing.
- Let all cookies through.
- Block cookies from outside sites.
- Clear cookies when you close the browser.
- Surf in “private” or “incognito” mode to keep local traces off.
- Add tools or extensions to boost what your browser can do.
Flash Cookie Options
For flash cookies, you can adjust your Flash Player settings directly. Its manager lets you pick and choose what works for you.
If you block all cookies entirely, some parts of our sites and services might not function properly—like holding onto your preferred language settings. It’s your call, but a total cookie ban could limit what you get out of our online world.
