Cookie policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that usually contain letters and numbers and are downloaded to a device each time users access a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently. Cookies are created each time a user’s browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Each time the user revisits the same website, the browser retrieves the file and sends it to the website’s server. Cookies have various functions, including collecting and remembering user preferences, enabling shopping carts, and generally making the website easier to use for the user.
We use cookies to carry out certain functions, such as:
• Facilitating website navigation and the use of its features to provide a seamless experience.
• Improving the website.
• Offering personalized browsing features on the website.
• Providing personalized ads.
• Collecting information about website usage so we can provide a better experience by evaluating the areas of most interest to the user or remembering their information each time they visit.
Below, we outline the types of cookies:
Type 1: Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for users to browse the website and use features like accessing a secure area without needing to log in repeatedly, and remembering actions taken on each page during the session.
IMPORTANT: Without these cookies, we cannot guarantee the performance of the website or online security during sessions.
Type 2: Performance cookies
We use performance cookies, specifically Google Analytics cookies, to gather information about how users interact with our website. The data collected includes website clicks, the number of web pages visited, session duration, and error messages, which are used to improve the site and provide users with a better experience. For more information about Google Analytics, click here.
We may also periodically collect information on how users use the website through other performance cookies similar to Google Analytics. While the information collected through these cookies may include the user’s IP address, browser information, and domain, the data is collected and analyzed anonymously and in aggregate.
For Google Adwords:
This website may also use cookies to track conversions on Google Adwords. The cookie added to a user’s device when they view or click on an ad expires after 30 days. This measure, along with Google’s use of different servers for conversion tracking and search results, protects user privacy. These cookies are provided by Google.
Users who do not wish to participate in tracking activities can simply refuse this cookie by blocking cookies in their browser’s user preferences.
Type 3: Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies allow us to remember the choices users make on the website, such as their username, language, and preferences. This information enables us to provide users with more personalized features as they browse the site.
Type 4: Advertising and personalized cookies
We use these cookies on our website to offer advertisements that may be of interest to users. They collect and store information about a user’s activities on the website, such as pages browsed, links, and items selected, browsing habits, etc., and track user movements across different websites. This helps us limit or avoid the repetition of ads and assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, thereby improving the user experience.
Additionally, some of these cookies may be hosted on the user’s computer and used by third parties for advertising purposes with prior consent. This happens when the website being visited shows content from a third-party website or when the user clicks on the website’s “share” button, causing the computer to receive third-party cookies. These third parties may include social media providers like Facebook and YouTube, and consumer review sites like Reevoo, which provide services to users and us. These cookies allow third parties to collect and store information such as user preferences and pages visited for advertising or service improvement purposes. Keep in mind that we cannot control third-party cookies and are, therefore, not responsible for them. Visit the following third-party websites to review their cookie policies:
• LinkedIn
• YouTube
• Twitter
• Google +
For Google Remarketing:
This website may also use Google Adwords remarketing tools. This tool allows ads to be displayed across Google’s content network based on users’ previous visits to our website. To achieve this, some pages on our website include a remarketing code or tag that sets cookies to determine the type of ad that will be shown to the user based on their browsing history on the website. Remarketing lists are stored in a database on Google’s servers, where all cookie IDs associated with each list or interest category are kept. Regarding remarketing cookies, users can disable Google cookies by visiting Google’s advertising opt-out page. These cookies are provided by Google.
