Cookies. Cookies are small data files sent by a website and stored on the computer or device at the request of that site. Cookies store information related to a user’s browser to enable us to recognize the browser on return visits to our Website and to remember your preferences.

Pixel tags. A pixel tag (also referred to as a “clear gif” or “web beacon”) allows us to track online usage patterns on the Website, to understand which links are clicked, or when you open emails that we may send to you. We use this information to help us improve the Website and our communications.

The information we collect through these tracking technologies includes:

  • Technical Data – information such as your IP address, device ID, device model, operating system, geolocation information sufficient to recognize the country where you are located when you access our Website, browser type and browser language, system and network information.
