USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

COOKIES

A cookie is a small piece of information downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We utilize various types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (e.g., login and region selection), eliminating the need to re-enter this data each time you visit or navigate between pages. Cookies also provide insights into how people use the website, such as whether it’s their first visit or if they are frequent visitors.

The duration of a cookie on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, while persistent cookies expire or are deleted. Most of our cookies are persistent, expiring between 30 minutes and two years from the date of download to your device.

You can manage and control cookies in various ways. However, note that removing or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience, and some parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether to accept them through your browser controls, typically found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu.

Please be aware that blocking cookies may not completely prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt out of certain information uses by these parties, follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.

DO NOT TRACK

Please note that because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not adjust our data collection and usage practices when such a signal is detected from your browser.

CHANGES

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
