Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies. To see what each of these cookies do, view our Manage Cookies module at the bottom of this page.

  • Strictly Necessary
    These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

  • Performance and Analytics
    These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

  • Performance
    These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

  • Targeting/Advertising
    These cookies allow us to generate promotional material and advertisements that are tailored to you. For example, these cookies help us know what pages you visit and how you interact with our website, so we can send relevant and customized promotional materials to you. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. Sometimes, we may share limited information with our third-party advertising partners through cross-context behavioral advertising to provide advertisements that are based on your specific interests. Some information gathered through these cookies may be used by companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. To stop the sharing of your personal information for this purpose, opt-out of these cookies.

 

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics works using cookies. Google Analytics cookies collect your IP address; however, because IP anonymization is used on this website, your IP address will be shortened (and therefore anonymized) as soon as technically possible and before it is stored or otherwise used in connection with Google Analytics. We use the information collected by Google Analytics cookies to find out about how visitors use our website. Google will not combine the IP address sent by your browser in connection with Google Analytics with other data. You can prevent Google Analytics cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also learn more about Google Analytics privacy through this link.

Any personal data that we collect from the application of cookies are stored on servers that are hosted by our third-party provider in the United States.
