ABOUT COOKIES

We collect information by placing cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile device ("device"). A cookie is a small text file that the browser deploys on your device. It is basically a tool that stores information about visits to websites and recognizes you and your preferences every time you visit. It guarantees the functionality of the site and allows us to provide members with the services they request.

When you visit, a session identification cookie is implanted in your device that only lasts the time of your visit. We also implant persistent cookies ("local storage devices") on the members' devices, so that they can remember you and make your experience faster and easier.

You can adapt the settings of your browser and mobile device to block cookies and local storage devices, but if you do, you may not have access to some of the services that offers.

■ How Cookies Contribute to Our Site's Functionality

We only use cookies set by the website owner, which are called “first party cookies.” Of those cookies, we only use “essential cookies,” or cookies that are strictly necessary to provide you with the System.

Most of the cookies that we deploy are “session” cookies, which are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser or your session ends. We also drop “persistent” cookies in limited circumstances, which are cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. As detailed below, we use information from cookies for purposes such as (i) identifying returning users and registrants and (ii) enabling you to move more easily around our System.

■ Determining Your Cookie Preferences

Disabling or blocking cookies may deactivate certain features on our Online Platforms, reducing efficiency and possibly preventing proper functionality. Even if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you will still receive ads, but they won't be customized based on your browsing behavior.
