Data Retention

COOKIES
A cookie is a small amount of information that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a variety of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, social networking and content cookies to enhance your experience on our Site and to provide our services. Cookies improve your browsing experience by allowing the Site to remember your actions and preferences (such as logging in and selecting your region). This means that you do not have to re-enter this information each time you return to the Site or navigate from page to page. Cookies also provide information about how users interact with the Site, for example, whether they are first-time visitors or frequent visitors.
The length of time a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in a number of ways. Please keep in mind that deleting or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience and some parts of our Site may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, which are often found in the “Tools” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. For more information on how to change your browser settings or block, manage or filter cookies, see your browser’s help file or via sites such as www.allaboutcookies.org.
DO NOT TRACK
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not change our data collection and use practices when we detect a “Do Not Track” signal from your browser.
CHANGES
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes in our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
