Notice on Our Use of Cookies
Cookie Technology and Your Privacy: Cookies are small data files placed on your device to enhance site functionality. They assign a unique identifier to each user to analyze user behavior anonymously. We don’t collect personal information unless you choose to provide it. Cookies cannot access data on your hard drive, and third-party ads on our site may also place cookies independently, which is outside our control. Our servers automatically collect your IP address to help with site management and user targeting but do not identify you personally.
(1) What do we use cookies for?
- Required or strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for our websites to operate correctly and to provide you with requested services. For example, we use cookies to authenticate you, so when you log on to Organization websites, we know who you are.
- Functionality cookies. We use functionality cookies to enhance website features, such as videos and live chat, and for personalization, such as storing your preferences (e.g. username and language selection). Functionality cookies may be set by Organization or by third parties whose services we have added to our websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our websites or technology network, and some website may not work properly.
- Social media cookies. Social media cookies may be set by third parties to collect information about your social media usage.
- Analytics cookies. Analytics cookies collect information about your use of our websites and technology network, and help us improve the way it works. For example, analytics cookies identify the most frequently visited pages, record any difficulties you have, and show whether our advertising is effective. This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage, rather than the usage of a single person. We use the information to analyze the websites' traffic.
- Targeting/advertising cookies. We use targeting/advertising cookies to create profiles and personalize content. We may use third party products, such as Analytics, to market Organization’s services to you on third party websites. For example, if you visit Organization websites, you may then see advertisements for Organization on other websites.
(2) Information Dissemination
Note on Social Media Interactions: When you engage with our content through social media platforms by actions such as liking or sharing our content, those platforms may record your activity and possibly set a cookie for this purpose. If you wish to opt out of these social interactions, please refer to the specific instructions provided by the respective social media platform.
(3) Other Monitoring Techniques
Social Media Buttons
Our site's web pages may feature 'social buttons,' which allow users to share or bookmark web pages. These buttons are available for various social media websites. To implement these buttons and link them to the relevant social networks and external sites, scripts from domains outside our Company are used. Be aware that these sites may collect information about your internet browsing, including on our Company's site. If you click any of these buttons, these sites will register that action and may use the information. In some cases, if you are logged into their services, these sites will register that you are visiting our Company's website and the specific pages you are on, even if you don't click on the button. Check the respective privacy and cookie policies of each of these sites to understand how they use your information and how to opt out or delete such information.
(4) Strategies for Controlling Cookies
Toggle non-essential cookies on or off via the cookie banner at the top of the page upon entry. Note that JavaScript is required to view the banner and adjust settings, with non-essential cookies turned off by default.
(5) Miscellaneous Guidelines
Personal Data Retention Strategy
We keep your Personal Data only for as long as needed to serve the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy. Usage Data is preserved for internal analysis, to improve our security frameworks, enhance functionality, or meet legal obligations.
