Informed Consent Policy
Consent to Use.
By continuing to use and browse our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, you agree to our use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, as described in this document and in our Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to accept these technologies in connection with your visit or use of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, you can visit our Settings page and consult the additional options available below to manage, control, or delete the use of these technologies by us or our service providers.
What are cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies?
These technologies are essentially small data files that are placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other device (hereinafter, "device") that allow us to record information when you visit or interact with our websites, services, applications, messages, and other tools. While these technologies are often generically referred to as "cookies," each functions slightly differently, as explained below:
Cookies: These are small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) that are placed in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of cookies:
Session cookies expire at the end of the browser session and allow us to link your actions during that session.
Persistent cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
First-party cookies are those set by the website the user is currently visiting to preserve their settings (e.g., while you are on our site).
Third-party cookies are those that a website or domain, other than the one you are currently visiting, places on your browser. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this is a third-party cookie.
When you access a website that uses cookies, you may be asked to complete a form with personal information, such as your name, email address, and interests. This information is packaged into a cookie and sent to your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), which stores it for later use. The next time you visit the same website, your browser will send the cookie to the server. The message is sent to the server every time the browser requests a page from the server.
Web beacons: Small files (also called "pixels," "image tags," or "script tags") that may be loaded on our sites, applications, and tools, and which may work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and provide anonymized data about their behavior.
Similar technologies: Technologies that store information in your browser or device using local shared objects or local storage, such as Flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These technologies can operate across all your browsers and, in some cases, may not be fully managed by your browser and may require management directly through your installed applications or device. We do not use these technologies to store information for the purpose of showing you personalized advertising within or outside of our websites.
What types of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies do we use and why?
Our cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies serve various purposes, but are generally necessary or essential for the operation of our websites, services, applications, tools, or messaging systems, help us improve their performance or provide you with additional functionalities, or allow us to show you relevant and personalized ads. More specifically:
Strictly Necessary or Essential: "Strictly Necessary" or "Essential" cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies enable you to navigate the website and use essential features like secure areas and shopping carts. Without these technologies, the services you have requested cannot be provided. Please note that these technologies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering your browsing history. Accepting these technologies is a condition for the proper functioning of the website. The use of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging depends on these technologies, so if you prevent them from loading, we cannot guarantee your use or the security operation during your visit.
Performance: Performance cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies collect information about how you use our website, for example, which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you and are only used to help us improve how our website works, understand what interests our users, and measure the effectiveness of our content by providing anonymous statistics and data on the use of our website. Accepting these technologies is a condition for using our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, so if you prevent them from loading, we cannot guarantee your use or the security operation during your visit.1
Functionality: These cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies are used to provide services or remember settings to enhance your visit.
Advertising: Our sites, applications, or tools may place first-party or third-party cookies and web beacons to deliver content, including product ads, relevant to your specific interests on our sites or third-party sites. These technologies allow us to understand the usefulness of our ads and improve the relevance of the content offered to our users. We also use third-party service providers to assist us in performing the same functions, meaning our authorized service providers may also place cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies on your device through our services (first-party and third-party cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify your device, such as the IP address or other unique device identifiers.
How to manage, control, and delete cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies

However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), this may limit the use of certain features of our website or service.
