Similar technologies also include other elements such as web beacons, pixels, browser fingerprinting technologies, and any technology that stores or accesses information on the user’s device. While this information does not directly identify an individual, it does promote a better user experience.

What cookies do we use?

Optional and required cookies. We use both optional and required cookies. These are listed below. Some of the cookies we place when you visit our websites or applications can be set by you, depending on your choices.

Internal and third-party cookies. We use both internal and third-party cookies. Internal cookies are set by the website or application you are visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies that come from a different domain than the one you are visiting. They are placed by someone other than us. For example, when we embed a Youtube video on our site.
