This means that when you engage with our Services, your browser automatically sends certain information to these third parties. This includes, for example, the web address of the page you’re visiting and your IP address. These cookies additionally remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced or more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages you can customize.

 

Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see a certain advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They may be placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and may share this information with other organizations such as other advertisers.

 

Two types of cookies may be used on our Websites: session cookies (which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site) and persistent cookies (which remain in the cookie file of your browser for longer, though the time period will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie or until you delete your cookies).

 

DISABLING AND ENABLING COOKIES

 

You can use your browser or device settings to review and erase or delete cookies at any time. Note that by disabling certain categories of cookies you may be prevented from accessing some features of our Services, certain content or functionality may not be available, or the Services may not operate correctly.

 

Depending on your location, you may also opt out of third-party cookies relating to behavioral advertising by visiting the following websites:

 

Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the company or companies from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your browsing preferences and usage patterns. You may temporarily continue to see some tailored ads produced from ongoing advertising campaigns.

The above opt-out tools rely on the use of cookies, and to the extent your browser settings impact use of third-party cookies, the above tools may not operate correctly. The above tools also apply only to the browser on which they are exercised. If you want to apply these tools to multiple devices or multiple browsers, you must exercise these tools on each browser and/or device.

 

DO NOT TRACK

 

There are different ways to prevent tracking of online activities. Some web browsers may allow you to enable a do-not-track feature that alerts the websites you visit that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Our Websites may not recognize or react in response to do-not-track signals. At present, no generally accepted standards exist on how companies must respond to do-not-track signals. In the event a final standard is established, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to these signals.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

 

In accordance with the CCPA, below is additional information regarding rights you may have and information you may be entitled to receive as a California resident, such as the information we collect, use, disclose, or sell.

 

Right of Access (CCPA):

 

Certain California residents may have the right to disclosure of information about our collection, sale or disclosure for a business purpose of their personal information, including, to the extent applicable, the following:

 

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about the consumer.

  • The categories of sources from which such personal information has been collected.

  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling such personal information.

  • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about the consumer.

 

Much of this information is contained in our Privacy Policy. To the extent you would like to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, or if you would like any other additional information, please see the below instructions under CCPA Privacy Requests, and to the extent required by law (or in our discretion if not required by law) and as permitted by our contracts, confidentiality obligations and applicable laws and regulations, we will evaluate and respond to your request. We may not be able to provide all of the information requested due to certain exceptions enumerated in the CCPA or other applicable laws.

 

Right to Opt Out Of Future Data Sale:

 

Certain California residents may also have the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information by contacting us and providing the verification information and other details we need in order to process the request appropriately.

Right to Deletion:

 

Certain California residents have the right to request deletion of their personal information by contacting us and providing the required verification information and other details we need in order to handle the request appropriately.

If you believe you have received discriminatory treatment for exercising your CCPA privacy rights, please contact us as set forth below.

 

CCPA Privacy Requests:

 

To obtain information or assistance regarding a CCPA Privacy Request:

 

  1. Please review our Privacy Policy to determine whether it provides the information you would like to request.

We may need to verify your identity prior to evaluating your request, and if we do not have sufficient information about you to verify your identity, for example, if the only information we have about you is an email address, we may not be able to identify you and will be unable to process your request.

 

We will attempt to verify your identity by, for example, confirming up to three pieces of information you provide in connection with your request to match the information we possess about you. If you submit a request on behalf of another consumer, you must submit reasonably sufficient documentation signed by the consumer subject to the request authorizing you to submit a request on their behalf.
