Internet cookies are chunks of information stored by your browser by request of a website, which enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide personalized features and marketing. The cookies that we use do not contain personal information, but are used to maintain or activate certain features which facilitate your use of the website, product or service. We use cookies to remember you when you login to a special section of our websites, to enroll you into special programs, features and offers on our websites, to remember your language preferences, to deliver information and features which are of your interest, and to passively collect data which will help us understand more about our awesome visitors and members. The information which we collect passively includes demographic data, statistical data, geographical data and analytical data, and is accessed only by our team. Most internet browsers allow the option to enable or disable cookies. You may disable cookies, but this will just make portions of our sites unusable, and you will not like the experience. We use advertising and re-marketing methods, services provided by Google and other advertising platforms. We, and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on a visitor’s past visits to our website. With the information gathered from the metrics provided by visits, third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the Internet.
