You have the right to choose whether to accept cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies that are set up by default). However, they are an important part of how our website works, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the website to you.
You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. If you previously accepted cookies and you wish to change your selection, you must delete your browser’s cookies. For more information on deleting your browser’s cookies, go to https://www.aboutcookies.org/how-to-delete-cookies. After you have deleted your browser’s cookies, if you enter our website again, you will be prompted to accept or reject cookies.
If you access our website through mobile devices, you can enable a “do not track” feature so as to control interest-based advertising on an iOS or Android mobile device by selecting the “Limit Add Tracking” option in the privacy section of your Settings on iOS or via advertising preferences on Android devices (e.g. in Google Settings). This will not prevent the display of advertisements but will mean that they will no longer be personalized to your interests.
Our partners (e.g. Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) may use these technologies on our website to help us better understand you.
We may also use other similar technologies such as pixels and local storage.
Pixels are small amounts of code placed on a web page. We may use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with a specific web. This helps us measure and improve our website and personalize your experience.
A local storage is a file created by a website on your device. We use local storage to save data on your device. We use data from local storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with our website.
You have the right to choose whether to accept these similar technologies or not. However, they are an important part of how our website works, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse them, this could affect the availability and functionality of the website.
We may change this Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, when reasonable, we will take steps to inform you, for example by including a prominent link to a description of those changes on our website for a reasonable period or by other means, such as email.
