Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies and local storage may be set and accessed on your device. Specifically, upon your first visit to the Digital Properties, a cookie or local storage will be sent to your device that uniquely identifies your browser. “Cookies” and local storage are small files containing a string of characters that is sent to your device’s browser and stored on your device when you visit a website. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, if you reject cookies, you may not be able to sign in to the Digital Properties or take full advantage of the Services. Additionally, if you clear all cookies on your browser at any point after setting your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent, you will have to again reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.

The Digital Properties use the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

Type of cookiePurpose
Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to and use of the Digital Properties. The information gathered is aggregated and does not identify any individual visitor. It includes the number of visitors to the Digital Properties, the websites that referred them to the Digital Properties, the pages that they visited on the Digital Properties, what time of day they visited the Digital Properties, whether they have visited the Digital Properties before, and other similar information. We use this information to monitor the level of activity on the Digital Properties, to gather broad demographic information, and to help operate the Digital Properties more efficiently.  

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. The service is only used to improve how the Digital Properties work. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/…. You can find out more about Google Analytics’ information handling practices and how you can control the use of information sent to Google here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.  If you wish to  prevent your information from being  used by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on,  available via this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage…

Essential CookiesThese cookies are essential to provide you with services available through the Digital Properties and to enable you to use their features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of the Digital Properties and help the content of the pages you request load quickly. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.
Functionality CookiesThe purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit the Digital Properties. Specifically, these cookies allow the Digital Properties to remember choices you make, such as your language preferences, and other relevant information, such as your login details,  which polls you have voted in, and the changes you make to other parts of the Digital Properties  that you can customize. These cookies also enable us to identify you across various screens and devices as you log in and use the Digital Properties, as well as enable us to work with partners to resolve your digital identities and personalize your experience across the Digital Properties,  across the services of our partners and customers, and across channels.
Social Media CookiesThese cookies are used when you share information using a social media platform’s sharing button or “like” button on the Digital Properties or when you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social media platform,  such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Pinterest. The social media platform  will record your activity and other information in accordance with its privacy policy. These cookies may also be used to show you interest-based advertisements on other online services. 


Flash Cookies

A Flash cookie is a data file placed on a device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that is built into or downloaded by you onto your device. Flash cookies are used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to enable a Flash feature and remember your preferences. For more information about Flash and the privacy choices Adobe offers, visit http://www.macromedia.com/supp…. If you choose to adjust your Flash privacy settings on your device, please note that some of the Digital Properties’ features may not function properly.

Pixel Tags

We also use “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us and third parties to monitor the use of the Digital Properties  and collect usage data. A pixel tag can collect information, such as the IP address of the device that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on the device. 

We use pixel tags to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions taken on the Digital Properties. We also use them in combination with our cookies to provide offers and information of interest to you. Similar functionality may be enabled in a mobile app through the use of an SDK (Software Development Kit).

Pixel tags also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit the Digital Properties  or other websites.

Other Similar Technologies 

Other parties may integrate our widgets on their websites. When you visit a website with our widgets embedded, we may receive certain information, including information you actively submit as well as usage data.

In addition, we use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

An authorized agent may also use the methods described above to submit an opt-out request on your behalf if you provide the agent with signed permission to do so. Please note that we may request from the agent documentation demonstrating that they have your authority to act on your behalf.

Applicable law requires us to set out the “legal basis” that we rely on to collect and use your personal information. Where applicable the legal bases upon which we rely to collect and use your personal information are as follows:

  • Consent. We may collect, use, and disclose your personal information on the basis of the consent that you provide at the point of information collection or disclosure. Where required by law, we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from your device via cookies and other similar technologies.
  • Contractual Necessity. We may collect and use certain personal information where it is either necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract. This may include personal information used to provide you with the Services.
  • Compliance with a Legal Obligation. We are subject to various legal requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including tax and accounting obligations. Accordingly, we may use, disclose, and retain your personal information if necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation arising under applicable law.
  • Legitimate Interests. We may collect and use your personal information to the extent necessary to carry out our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), provided that such interests do not outweigh your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may collect and use your personal information in reliance on a legitimate interest in managing our relationship with you; conducting and managing our business; providing you with customer support; offering, developing, and enhancing the Services; detecting and preventing fraud and other harmful activities; and monitoring and maintaining the security of our information systems and networks.

  • request deletion of your personal information (subject to applicable exceptions);
  • object to our processing of your personal information under certain circumstances;
  • request that we restrict our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances;
  • request that we transmit your personal information to a third party (where technically feasible);
  • withdraw the consent you have provided us to process your personal information (without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent); and
  • lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal information with the appropriate data protection regulator. 

If you are interested in exercising any of the above-listed rights, you can do so by accessing the “Privacy Settings” link in the footer of this webpage.
