We also have a presence in the form of branded social media pages on social media networks, like Facebook & Instagram. Please visit their websites to learn their privacy policies and the privacy and marketing controls available for their community members, since we have no control over how these social media platforms operate.

Like most websites you visit, our Site uses cookies and other similar technologies described below (generally referred to as “cookies” in this policy) for the purposes described in the section headed “How we use cookies”.

Cookies are text files embedded in a web page that contain small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a Site or embedded in a web page. Cookies may then be sent back to the originating Site on each subsequent visit, or to another Site that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a Site to recognize a user’s device and to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time.

Where possible, security measures are put in place to prevent unauthorized access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorized service providers have access to cookie data.

Web beacons (also known as internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs) are typically transparent graphic images placed on a site or email. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to learn about our visitors` interactions, capture visitor’s journey on our Site, to create segment categories and behavior patterns, or to serve targeted advertisements. We (or the third parties we use) use beacons to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, and the type of browser used to view the page.

An IP address is a unique identifier that certain electronic devices used to identify and communicate with each other on the internet. When you visit our Site, we (or the third parties we use) may view the IP address of the device that you use to connect to the internet using a web beacon.

We (or the third parties we use) use only the redacted part of the IP address to determine the broader physical location of the device so that we can`t identify your precise location. This helps us to understand from what geographic regions (e.g. city, province, country) our Site visitors come in order to change the way we present our Site to you, to enhance your visit or to customize our marketing content. If we want to collect your precise location data for our advertising purposes, we obtain your consent to this.

A URL (uniform resource locator) is a unique identifier or address for each resource on the internet, in effect it is the address for the web page that you are visiting. We use this information to see which sites and pages are visited and the way that you navigate through our Site.

Device IDs are distinctive numbers associated with a smartphone or similar handheld device from which the internet can be accessed. We use device IDs for the same purposes for which we use cookies, as described in this policy.

Device fingerprinting is a way to combine certain attributes of a device e.g. its operating system, the type and version of browser being used, language settings and IP addresses etc which are used together to identify unique devices. To the extent that fingerprinting is used, we use it for the same purposes for which we use cookies.

We use different types of cookies on our Site for various purposes set out below.
Some of these cookies are placed by us and others by third-parties (e.g. social media platform, advertising and analytics providers etc.).
