4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy (if you have one, link it here, otherwise elaborate below).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

How we use cookies:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Services and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Services, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

5. Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers, such as Google Analytics, to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. Sharing Your Information

We value your privacy. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for their commercial purposes.

We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include: payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts.

We will only share your personal information with such third parties with your explicit consent, except where required by law, or to protect our rights.

We may also share information if:

• It's necessary for legal compliance, such as responding to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
• It's necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• It's in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. In such cases, user information may be one of the transferred assets.

7. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 (or 16).
