Overview of Cookie Usage: This Cookie Notice provides detailed information about the types of cookies and similar tracking technologies that we deploy across our websites and apps. It explains their purposes, how they function, and the choices available to you for managing these cookies.

Navigating Cookies: Our Methods and Purposes

  • Required or strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for our websites to operate correctly and to provide you with requested services. For example, we use cookies to authenticate you, so when you log on to Organization websites, we know who you are.
  • Functionality cookies. We use functionality cookies to enhance website features, such as videos and live chat, and for personalization, such as storing your preferences (e.g. username and language selection). Functionality cookies may be set by Organization or by third parties whose services we have added to our websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our websites or technology network, and some website may not work properly.
  • Social media cookies. Social media cookies may be set by third parties to collect information about your social media usage.
  • Analytics cookies. Analytics cookies collect information about your use of our websites and technology network, and help us improve the way it works. For example, analytics cookies identify the most frequently visited pages, record any difficulties you have, and show whether our advertising is effective. This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage, rather than the usage of a single person. We use the information to analyze the websites' traffic.
  • Targeting/advertising cookies. We use targeting/advertising cookies to create profiles and personalize content. We may use third party products, such as Analytics, to market Organization’s services to you on third party websites. For example, if you visit Organization websites, you may then see advertisements for Organization on other websites.

Occasionally, certain site features may allow third parties to insert cookies or local storage on your device. We advise reading the privacy policies of these third parties who are responsible for processing your data. Certain ad networks also allow you to customize or opt out of internet browsing related preferences.
