Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive and that help us analyze traffic on our Sites’ pages, personalize our services, the content on our Sites and their advertising and gauge the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. Our service providers may also download cookies on to your computer to post advertising messages and, on our behalf or on behalf of our advertising partners, gauge the effectiveness of our advertising messages and compile anonymous data on their use by visitors to our Sites. The cookies placed by our server are readable only by us, and cookies cannot access, read or modify any other data on a computer.

You may be able to manage other technologies in the same way that you manage cookies using your browser’s preference. However, in such a case, you might have problems browsing our Sites or using some of their functions.

Note that if you request deletion of certain information or withdraw your consent to the collection of your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.

Before providing you with access to your information, we may ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity and right of access, and to provide you with the personal information we hold about you, or to make the requested changes. In some cases, applicable law requires us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information we hold about you, or that we may have destroyed, erased or made anonymous in accordance with our legal record-keeping obligations and privacy best practices. If we are unable to provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
