Statistical Cookies & Storage
These cookies help us determine user behaviour on the website by reporting on your session. These technologies do not cross-reference your browsing with data from websites not owned by us. If you are located in the European Economic Area, we ask each tool to only use a session cookie (i.e. one that instructs the browser to clear it once you’ve finished your session).

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

• Google Analytics (Privacy Policy | Opt-Out) for tracking general and custom behavior on the website. We use all options that Google Analytics provides for maximizing your privacy including instructing it to anonymize your IP address, transmitting data by an SSL connection only, and manually stripping out any personally identifiable information before transmitting to Google Analytics.

Third-Party Tracking/Marketing Cookies
These cookies cross-reference your browsing with data from other websites to provide us with more accurate aggregated reports and to enable us to serve you personalized ads, including ads based on your browsing behavior on this website. This functionality is aggregated, we do not use any provider that allows us to see your specific data or to create an ad specifically for you. If you are located in the European Economic Area, we do not use these cookies.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:

• Google Analytics Doubleclick (Privacy Policy | Opt-Out) for providing us aggregated reporting of your demographics and interests as determined by Google from any Google accounts you have, as well as allowing us to serve you ads on third party websites based on your browsing behavior.
• Google AdWords (Privacy Policy | Opt-Out) as above but this also allows Google to deduplicate your browsing sessions to this website across multiple browsers/devices for the purposes of tracking conversions.
• Facebook Ads (Privacy Policy | Opt-Out) allows us to serve you ads based on your browsing behavior on our website as well as see aggregate reports that deduplicate your browsing sessions to this website across multiple browsers/devices.

CRM and CRM-Like Cookies/Tracking

These cookies allow us to view some aspects of your website browsing behaviour on an individual basis. No providers we use store any personally identifiable data in the cookie, what’s stored instead is a pseudonymous identifier (eg. your account ID) which is then tied to any additional data on the provider’s end (ie. not in your browser or on the website). If you are located in the European Economic Area, we use these cookies only once you’ve scrolled down after viewing the consent popup shown at the start of your visit (as per the popup’s wording).

Technologies used:

• Google Analytics UserID (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) for combining the standard Google Analytics reports with a pseudonymous and/or encrypted identifier. This occurs only if you choose to personally identify yourself on this website (eg. by creating an account or filling out a form that requires your personal details). Any browsing behaviour you perform while logged out will NOT be associated with this ID.
