• Some of the data collected by the Platform, whether alone or in conjunction with other data, could be personally identifying to you. Please note that this data is primarily used to identify the uniqueness of each user logging on (as opposed to specific individuals), apart from where it is strictly required to identify an individual for security purposes or as required as part of our provision of the Platform to our customers.
• Cookies.
• Required Cookies – Basic Website Functionality.

• Functional Cookies.
• Examples: cookies used to analyze site traffic, cookies used for market research, and cookies used to display advertising that is not directed to a particular individual.

• For example, the Platform also uses technologies called “tracer tags.” These may also be referred to as “Pixels,” “Clear GIFs” or “Web Beacons.” These technologies allow us to understand which pages you visit on our Website. We may link the information we record using tracking technologies to Personal Information we collect.
• Additionally we use Google Analytics as a third party tracking service to collect information about how our website performs and how our users, in general, navigate through and use the Platform. This helps us evaluate how our users use the Platform; compile statistical reports on activity; and improve our content and Website performance. This service does not collect Personal Information. Google Analytics gathers certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, time stamp, and similar data about your use of the Platform. We do not link this information to any of your Personal Information. Google provides further information about its own privacy practices at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, or other URL that Google may provide from time to time, and offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics tracking.

These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information, which may include your IP address, content viewed and/or links accessed in order to provide such analytics.

For example, these cookies collect information such as which browser you used when visiting our websites.

Advertising networks follow your online activities over time and across different websites or other online services by collecting device and usage data through automated means, including through the use of cookies. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use. When we work with third party advertising networks, we require them to restrict their data processing to only what is necessary to provide us with the advertising services we request.
