What cookies do and why?

  • Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are necessary for us to provide you with the basics functionalities of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires us to provide California residents with certain information about how we handle their personal information.

As described in this privacy policy, we collect this information when you visit our websites. We collect information because it is necessary to provide, operate, maintain and support our services, as well as to administer and promote our business. Please refer to the other sections of our privacy policy for further detail.

Exercising your Rights

California residents have the right to make the following requests, up to twice every 12 months:

  • The right to request the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

We do not sell your information for money. We do disclose your information to certain third parties that provide valuable services to us, such as analytics and advertising services, which we do not believe is considered a “sale” under the CCPA. Categories of third parties with whom we have shared personal information in the last 12 months include third-party integrations for advertising and website analytics.

California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits our visitors who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes.
