INTRODUCTION

• When you visit or access our websites or applications operated by us, or when you interact or engage with our content (“Services”), we use (and authorize third parties to use) web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, tags, API and other technologies ("Tracking Technologies").
• The Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you and your online behaviour, as well as your device (for example your computer or mobile device), in order to enhance your navigation on our Services, to improve the performance of our Services and to customize your experience on our Services. We also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of our Services, to perform analytics, to deliver content which is tailored to your interests and to administer services to our users, advertisers, publishers, customers and partners.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

• Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a web page. When used, cookies can help make our Services more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings.
• Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently.

STORING TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

• We store Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services (for example when you are visiting our websites) – these are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are also stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on our Services – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies".
• Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES IN USE:

We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies. These Tracking Technologies can be used for security and integrity reasons - for example to detect violation of our policies and for support or security features.

FUNCTIONALITY TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Services.

These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).

MARKETING OR ADVERTISING TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

• These Tracking Technologies are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests, as well as to perform email marketing campaigns. They can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by our advertisers (for example advertising networks) and provide them with insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites or use their app.
