We collect certain data using automatic technologies such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons, and other technologies when you engage with our web services or open our emails. A "cookie" is a text file that sites transmit to the computer or other network device of a visitor in order to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to save information or settings in the browser.

These technologies assist us in the following ways:
Some of these automated technologies are established by us, while others are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf. For example, we may employ other organizations' web analytics services (mentioned above in the "Third-Party Analytics Services") to help us assess how consumers use our websites.
When cookies are installed on your device, your browser will notify you, and you may stop or deactivate them using your browser settings. Please keep in mind, however, that without cookies, some of our web services may not function correctly.

Some third parties provide a centralized method for tracking your preferences regarding the usage of your data for consumer behavioural marketing purposes. If you use this method to opt-out of online behavioural advertising, your opt-out will only apply to the browser or device from which you opt out.
We keep your data for as long as it is required for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement, which include providing our Services, complying with legal obligations, enforcing and preventing violations of our Terms, protecting against fraudulent activity, and defending our legal rights, property, and users.
