We may use cookies or other automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including details of your visits to our Sites, communication data, resources that you access and use on the Sites, IP address, operating system, and browser type.
Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of our Sites or Services may not work if you delete or disable cookies.
We use the following types of cookies and other automated tools:
Strictly Necessary: These tools are essential to operate the Sites or Services and provide you with services you have requested including to identify and repair errors in the Sites or Services.
Functional: These tools enable certain features or non-essential functionality on our Sites or Services. For example, we might use these tools to recognize you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our Sites or Services.

Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers which are embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether a user views a web page or email message. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user's session and Personal Information, if provided by the user.
If you arrive at our Sites by "clicking through" from another website, then certain information about you that you provided to that other website, such as the terms you searched that led you to our Sites, may be transmitted to us and we may use it.

Object to processing of your Personal Information when we are relying on a Legitimate Interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it infringes your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to Personal Information that you provided to us.
Withdraw consent at any time when we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information.
