Cookies

We use Cookies and other tracking technologies (collectively “Cookies”) on our website to customize your experience. Some are necessary for helping our site run smoothly and securely, others are optional and help us to analyze site traffic volume or improve and personalize our content based on site page visits and your digital experience.

For instance, a cookie will remember your visit to our web site so you will not have to log in every time you visit the site. Personalized settings, such as language, are also saved for the next time you visit our site.

Cookies can also enable us to track the interests of users to enhance their experience on our site, as well as to promote and advertise relevant products and services in our marketing campaigns.

Understanding Cookies

A cookie is a small data file which allows us to recognize you as a user when you return to our website using the same computer and web browser, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (a ‘persistent cookie’). Other similar files such as clear GIFs, web beacons and pixel tags work in a similar way. We use the word ‘cookie’ in this notice to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies cannot view or retrieve data from other cookies, or capture files or information stored on your computer. Only the website that sends you cookies can read them. Cookies are also not shared between devices; therefore, you will need to select your preferences on each device that you access our website on.

You can choose to accept or block the cookies we use for tracking website performance, personalization and advertising. For more information about the different cookie categories on our website, please read below.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help collect data that allows us to understand how you interact with our services on our site. This information measures things, such as how long you visit the page, what part of the site you visit and sources of the traffic.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertisements more relevant to you. This includes tracking the ads you interact with on our sites and on third-party sites. When doing so, these cookies do not directly store any personal information. If you do not allow these cookies, the advertising you experience on these sites will be less relevant to you.

Geolocation Cookies

These cookies collect and store information about your precise geographic location, which provides us with your exact address.

For example, we may use your precise geographic location to confirm whether we provide services in your area, or if you are within a region where you can access our streaming services. If you disable these cookies, we may not be able to provide certain services or offers to you. If you are located near the U.S. border, we recommend that you turn on precise location to ensure services will not be disrupted.

Changing Browser Settings

Web browsers generally allow control of cookies and related technologies through the browser settings. You can, for example, disable cookies, or set your browser to notify you each time you receive a cookie, allowing you to decide if you want to accept it or not.

Please note that if you do not accept a particular cookie, in addition to interfering with targeted advertising technologies that use cookies, certain elements or features of our website may not function correctly or completely and it may affect your experience on the site and the services we offer.
