COOKIES
Small text files called cookies are used to store data fragments. When the page loads in your browser, the cookies are stored on your device. These cookies assist us in maintaining the website’s functionality, enhancing its security, improving user experience, understanding how the website operates and identifying areas for development.
Important cookies
The correct operation of the website depends on important cookies. To ensure the website’s fundamental functionality and security features, we utilize important cookies. There is no personal data stored in these cookies.
Analytics Cookies and Log Files
We gather and use information such as your IP address, your ISP (internet service providers, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used only for web analytics purposes to access our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site, and which pages you visited while there. Cookies are used by Google Metrics, which we employ to track website analytics. When you visit our website, your IP address is set to be anonymous, therefore your complete IP address is not saved. After a length of time deemed sufficient for tracking the statistics of our website, the data connected to your use of the website will vanish from Google Analytics along with your anonymized IP address.
Advertising Cookies and Web Beacons
To keep our website running, we use third-party adverts. When they advertise on our website, some of these advertisers may employ technology like cookies and web beacons, which also send these advertisers (like Google through the Google AdSense program) information like your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether Flash is installed, information. This is typically used for geotargeting (for example, presenting real estate advertisements for New York to someone in New York) or displaying particular adverts based on previously visited websites (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
Double-Click DART Cookies
When you browse the internet and go to a website employing DoubleClick advertising, Google’s DoubleClick sets a cookie on your computer. We may also utilise DoubleClick cookies for ad serving (including some Google AdSense advertisements). Ads tailored to you and your interests are served using this cookie (“interest based targeting”).
Based on your previous browser activity, the advertising that is displayed will be targeted (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting New York, you may see New York City hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as a site about hockey). “Non-personally identifiable information” is used by DART. Your name, email address, home address, phone number, social security number, bank account number, or credit card number are among the personal data that is NOT tracked. By clicking on this link, you can choose not to have this advertisement displayed on any websites that use it.
MANAGING COOKIES
In your browser’s settings or by adjusting the parameters in tools like Norton Internet Security, you may choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies. However, this can make it more difficult for you to interact with both our website and those of other websites. This can involve being unable to sign in to services or programs, including forums or accounts.
You are not necessarily permanently unsubscribed from any advertising program if you delete cookies. The following time you visit a website that is serving the adverts, a new cookie will be installed unless you have settings that prevent cookies from being used.
When you initially visit our website, you may adjust your cookie options by clicking the “Cookie Settings” button and selecting whether or not to enable or disable the cookie categories on the pop-up based on your preferences. Unless you accept ALL cookies, just the essential cookies are enabled by default.
