So that you can make full use of the features on the Site, your computer, mobile phone or other device (all referred to here as device) will need to accept cookies.

A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website or other service that uses cookies.

We use and control first-party cookies to provide functionality, content and marketing on the Site. You may encounter cookies from third-party service providers and advertising networks, that we have allowed on our Site that assist us with various aspects of our Site operations and content and to provide advertising that may be relevant to your interests.

We do not control third-party cookies or other technologies. Their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies. You should make sure you are aware of how third parties will use cookies by checking the third-party’s privacy notice and/or cookie policy.

CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. While some of these cookies are first-party cookies placed by us for our own marketing purposes, they are usually third-party cookies placed by advertising networks with our permission.
