This cookie policy explains how we use cookies on our Services (the "Cookie Policy"). We use cookies to help improve your experience of our Services. Terms not defined in the Cookie Policy have the same meaning as in our Privacy Policy.
1.What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that an online platform or website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the platform or website itself, a unique identifier that allows the platform or website to recognize your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g. logging in), to track site usage (e.g. analytics), to store your user settings (e.g. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalize your content (e.g. advertising, language).
2.Categories of cookies
Cookies set by the platform or website you are visiting are normally referred to as "first-party cookies", and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies (i.e. third-parties) are called "third-party cookies", and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. The cookies placed through your use of our Services are either set by us or by a third party at our request.
3.Types of cookies and how we use them
We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted once you close your web browser.
3.1Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary for our Services to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to your actions which amount to a request for Services, such as setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. They are also used to protect our Services against unauthorized access, combat fraud and other activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the Service. You can set your browser to block these cookies (see the section "Browser Settings" below), but this may impact some of our Service's functionalities.
3.2Analytics cookies. We also use cookies for analytics purposes to better understand how you use our Services, to measure the effectiveness of our customer communications, to diagnose and fix technology problems, and otherwise enhance our Services. We may use our own analytics cookies or third-party analytics providers to collect and process certain data analytics on our behalf. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Services. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors interact with our Services. We use these cookies to test different versions of our website or platform to learn which features or content you prefer. We also use these cookies to analyze how people access and use our Services. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Services, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.Third-party cookies on our Services
As we explain above, we may employ third-party companies and individuals on our Services—for example, analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third-parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
