Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your
computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a number of different
cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social
media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better
by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such
as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter
this information each time you return to the site or browse from one
page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the
website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they
are a frequent visitor.

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.

Do Not Track

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.

Changes

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.
