Other cookies, known as third-party cookies, are placed on your computer or device when you visit our website or use our Services, but are stored by other service providers or third-party domains cookies and used to measure audiences, limit repeat advertisements to use, and customize content or advertising.

What cookies we use on services
Strictly necessary (also known as required or essential) cookies: These cookies are required to move around a website and use its features, such as browsing as a registered user or fraud detection. Our website and Services use strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for our sites and services to work properly. You may be able to block these cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the website and Services may not function properly.
Functional cookies: We use cookies to enable our website and Services to remember choices made by website visitors and services users (such as email address, language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. This allows websites to improve user experience.
Performance cookies: We use cookies to understand how visitors use our Services, including the number of visitors browsing our sites and services or a particular section of a website or Services, where visitors navigate to our website and Services from, the pages visitors go to most often, and whether they experience error messages.

Tools that perform website analytics, such as Google Analytics, use performance cookies to generate reports about a website’s traffic and the sources of that traffic. They can also be used to recognize you across platforms and devices. These tools tell website owners how many visitors came to their website, and whether those visitors came to the website after clicking on a link in a search engine or via another referral source. In this way, the website is able to evaluate website traffic as well as the ways to increase website traffic. Like virtually all websites, we use performance cookies, including Google Analytics.
Targeting cookies: We use cookies to deliver online and digital advertising and marketing content, such as via email and on third-party sites and platforms that may be more relevant to your interests based on activity from your browsing activities across the internet.
