Cookies Implementation
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device (computer or mobile device).
To enhance site responsiveness for our users, we may utilize “cookies” or similar electronic tools. These help gather information by assigning each visitor a unique, random number as a User Identification (User ID) to comprehend individual interests using the Identified Computer. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for instance), we cannot personally identify you, even if we assign a cookie to your device. Cookies cannot read data from your hard drive. Additionally, our advertisers may assign their own cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process beyond our control.
Our web servers automatically capture limited information about your device’s internet connection, including your IP address, upon visiting our site. Your IP address does not personally identify you but helps in delivering requested web pages, tailoring our site to user interests, measuring site traffic, and informing advertisers about visitor locations.
#1 Our Strategies for Cookie Utilization
- Required or strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for our websites to operate correctly and to provide you with requested services. For example, we use cookies to authenticate you, so when you log on to Organization websites, we know who you are.
- Functionality cookies. We use functionality cookies to enhance website features, such as videos and live chat, and for personalization, such as storing your preferences (e.g. username and language selection). Functionality cookies may be set by Organization or by third parties whose services we have added to our websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our websites or technology network, and some website may not work properly.
- Social media cookies. Social media cookies may be set by third parties to collect information about your social media usage.
- Analytics cookies. Analytics cookies collect information about your use of our websites and technology network, and help us improve the way it works. For example, analytics cookies identify the most frequently visited pages, record any difficulties you have, and show whether our advertising is effective. This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage, rather than the usage of a single person. We use the information to analyze the websites' traffic.
- Targeting/advertising cookies. We use targeting/advertising cookies to create profiles and personalize content. We may use third party products, such as Analytics, to market Organization’s services to you on third party websites. For example, if you visit Organization websites, you may then see advertisements for Organization on other websites.
#2 Personal Information Storage and Sharing
How to Opt Out of Targeted Ads: You can prevent targeted ads based on your cookie data by visiting sites such as Your Online Choices, where you can disable behavioral advertising from several providers.
#3 Sophisticated Cookie Management
All modern web browsers allow you to control the use of cookies on your device. You are also able to delete existing cookies and other stored data on your device should you wish to do so.
Cookies improve your experience on our website and we encourage you to leave them enabled.
