Performance and functionality Cookies
Functionality Cookies for example remember user preferences like language selection, location, or login details. This personalization provides a more convenient experience for returning visitors and avoids them having to re-enter information during future visits.
Site Performance Cookies: on the other hand, track user interactions without identifying individual visitors. They might collect data like page views, time spent on specific pages, and bounce rates to help us understand user behaviour and optimize our website for better performance.
These Cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these Cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
Unclassified Cookies
These are Cookies that have not yet been categorized. Unclassified Cookies are those that:
Have not been assigned a specific category
Their actual category is unknown and may be necessary
We are in the process of classifying these Cookies with the help of their providers.
Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining Cookies will impair their functioning.
