  • Unique user ID or device ID
  • Kind of computer and browser

As further outlined in our section below on advertising, these cookies are frequently gathered by or otherwise shared with service providers as well as third-party advertising partners.

 

Third-Party Technology

To better understand your online behavior, we employ third-party technology. This allows us to offer relevant material online and send you relevant emails. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by third parties, such as third-party analytics or online monitoring businesses, whose services or sites may be connected to through our sites and services.
