We use Google Analytics to help analyse how you use our Website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers.

When you read, browse or download information from our Website, we or our internet service provider may also collect information such as the date, time and duration of a visit, the pages accessed, the IP address of your computer, the name of the domain from which you access the internet, the internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our site, and any information downloaded. This information may be used for purposes including statistical, reporting and website administration, maintenance and improvement purposes.

We may also use software provided by third parties that monitors website visitors' interactions with our Website, including from initial Website visit and registration (if applicable), properties looked at, how often a visitor returns to view those properties, and what platform visitors were directed to our Website from (e.g. social channels, online ads, SEO efforts or referrals), and that generates information about a specific visitor's propensity to purchase one of our properties. We may combine this with Personal Information we have collected about a Website visitor.

We use network advertisers to serve advertisements on unaffiliated websites or other media (e.g. social networking platforms). This enables us and network advertisers to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or traffic measurement services may use pixels, cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These pixels, cookies and other technologies are governed by each entity’s specific privacy policy, not this Privacy Policy. We may provide these advertisers with information, including Personal Information, about you.

In accordance with applicable law, we may disclose certain information (such as your email address) to Facebook Custom Audiences (for more information on Facebook Custom Audiences click here or to opt-out, go to the Facebook ad preferences page) - so that we can better target ads and content to you and others with similar interests on other websites or media (Custom Audiences). We may also work with other ad networks and marketing platforms that enable us and other participants to target ads to Custom Audiences submitted by us and others. You may also control how Facebook and other ad networks display certain ads to you, as explained further in their respective privacy policies or by using the opt-outs described below.

Cookies may also be used for other purposes on our Website.

You may be able to opt out of many ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and their choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Website or on other websites. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e. contextually based ads). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on a consumer choice website, your opt out may not be effective
