This Platform uses cookies according to our Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy is available to users on each page of the website linked to this Privacy Policy and on each information banner regarding cookies.  

Like most platforms, our Platforms log IP addresses and use cookies and similar technologies that allow us to recognise you and to customise your experience, and provide us with information about the way our visitors access our Platforms. You can find out more about how we use cookies and related technologies below.  

Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or mobile application. They are used to recognise your computer as you move between pages on a website, or when you return to a website or mobile application you have visited previously. Cookies are widely used in order to make platforms work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the platform.  

We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors (for example, by remembering your language and/or product preferences) and to better understand how our Platforms are used. Cookies will tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Platforms before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. 

There are two broad categories of cookies: 

First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device. They are used only by us to recognise your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Platforms.  

Third party cookies, which are served by a third party service provider on our Platforms, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer or mobile device when it visits other platforms. Third party cookies are most commonly used for platform analytics or advertising purposes. 

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. We use both 'session cookies' and ‘persistent cookies’. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed, and can be used to recognise your computer or mobile device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.  

The Platform serves only the following types of cookies to your computer or mobile device for the following purposes: 

Technical Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through this Platform and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible. 

Functionality Cookies: These cookies serve a variety of purposes related to the presentation, performance and functionality of this Platform. Their overall purpose, however, is to enhance visitors’ experience and enjoyment of this Platform. For example, some of these cookies enable visitors to specify language, product or other platform preferences.  

Analytical Cookies: These cookies, including those from third parties (such as Google Analytics), are used to collect information about how visitors use our Platforms. This information includes the number of visitors to our Platforms, the platforms that referred them to our Platforms and the pages that they visited on our Platforms. We use this information to help run our Platforms more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Platforms. 

Advertising Cookies: These cookies, including those from third parties, are aimed at creating profiles related to you and are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests in line with your preferences expressed while surfing the web. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and promotion. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a platform and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers, social media platforms or our display partners.  

Social Cookies: These cookies are third party cookies that allow you to interact with social media platforms (e.g. share or like buttons). 

The use of cookies does not always require your express consent. In particular, technical cookies do not require such consent as far as they are necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. On the other hand, your prior consent is required for functionality cookies, analytical cookies, advertising cookies and social cookies. 

You have the right to withdraw your consent and refuse the use of cookies at any time and we have explained how you can exercise this right below. However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Platforms.  

You can set your cookie preferences by using our cookie consent tool or by changing your browser settings so that cookies from this Platform cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” facility).  

Further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org, https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ and/or www.youronlinechoices.eu. 

We also benefit from data provided by third parties where you provide us with your consent to set the relevant cookies and/or other tracking technologies. We set out below a summary of the key data sources. 

We use a number of Meta services and other similar products on our Platforms, including through the use of the pixel and other business products. In some circumstances, Meta or the other platform provider acts as our data processor and in other circumstances, they are a joint data controller (for example, Meta with respect to Custom Audiences). Further details of how they process your personal information, the legal basis they rely on, your rights and contact details can be found on the relevant platform. 

The Platforms use third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve you ads on third party platforms after you leave our Platforms, and we use third party analytics and other service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of the Platforms and viewing of ads and of our content. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements, which are based on your visits to the Platforms and other apps and sites you have visited. Third party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products and services that you might be interested in.  

Third party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if they are associated with our Platforms or our ads. Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting information used by these third parties and others or the use of the information that such third parties collect. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage and sharing practices. We make no representations regarding the policies or practices of third party advertisers or advertising networks or exchanges or related third parties, such as Meta.  

You have choices in respect of the delivery of ads. You can opt-out of receiving certain types of behavioural ads by visiting the third party websites described in the section headed “How to control or delete cookies” in our Cookie Policy. We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third parties’ opt-out options.

You can also use this address if you wish to request access to the personal information about you that we process or to unsubscribe from any further e-mail marketing communications.
