The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile
device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session
cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they
expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will
expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to
your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind
that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience
and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or
not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your
browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify
your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in
your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely
prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising
partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your
information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the
“Behavioural Advertising” section above.
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of
how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection
and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect,
for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or
regulatory reasons.
As noted above, if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us
by e-mail or by mail using the details provided under “Contact” above.
