We typically collect this information through various tracking technologies, including cookies, Flash objects, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology (collectively, "tracking technologies"). We may combine this information with other personal information we collect directly from you.
Our Websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Websites. Cookies are pieces of code that allow for the personalization of our Websites by saving your information such as user ID and other preferences. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your device's hard disk (such as your computer or smartphone) for record-keeping purposes.
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies required for our Websites' essential operation, such as to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use.
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our Websites when they are using them. This helps us improve the way our Websites work, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our Websites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Websites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Websites and the advertising displayed on them more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
We may collect analytics data or use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service and understand more about our users' demographics.

The cookies we use are designed to help you get the most from our Websites, but if you do not wish to receive cookies, most browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in your browser's "options" or "preferences" menu. The following links may be helpful; otherwise, you should use the "Help" option in your browser for more details.

THIRD-PARTY DATA COLLECTION AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
We participate in interest-based advertising and use third-party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about your use of our websites and mobile apps over time so that they may play or display ads on our Service, on other websites, apps, or services you may use, and on different devices, you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the site, and other information. We may share a shared account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices.
We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests and provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.
To learn about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Network Advertising Initiative's online resources, at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, the DAA's resources at www.aboutads.info/choices and/or Your Online Choices at www.youronlinechoices.com/uk. You may also be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings on your mobile device by selecting "limit ad tracking" (iOS) or "opt-out of interest-based ads" (Android). You may also be able to opt out of some – but not all – interest-based ads served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app.
Please note that opting-out of receiving interest-based advertising through the NAI's and DAA's or Your Online Choices online resources will only opt-out a user from receiving interest-based ads on that specific browser or device. However, the user may still receive interest-based ads on their other devices. You must perform the opt-out on each browser or device you use.
Furthermore, some of these opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. Suppose you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers, or use another operating system. In that case, you will need to opt-out again.
