You may opt-out of cookies by disabling cookie support in your browser, but doing so may prevent our website from functioning properly (for example, banner displays may not function properly) and you may not be able to utilize fully all of the website features.
What is a Cookie? A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that website’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. A cookie cannot retrieve any other Data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
The cookies we store on our websites are used to:
- track the number, and type of visits to the websites and their pages, and compile anonymous, aggregated statistics on the number of users and their usage patterns, in order for us to evaluate and enhance the performance of our websites, and
- personalize the content of our websites and facilitate user movement within the websites (including without limitation by storing your preferences for screen layouts and language, and remembering passwords during a session and the country you may have elected as your country of residence).

Social Media Plugins
Our website also uses social plugins of social networking sites including facebook.com (“Facebook”), twitter.com (“Twitter”), youtube.com (“Youtube”). The plugins can be identified by the websites’ logos (e.g. a white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs-up” icon for Facebook, or a bluebird for Twitter), or the phrase “Social Plugin”.
Because our website uses social plugins which are activated, your browser will connect to the servers of the relevant social media websites. This results in certain Data being transmitted to social media websites, in particular, your IP address, your user ID of Facebook, Twitter and Youtube if you are logged into those social media websites and information about which websites you are visiting. This information is collected by social media websites in order to personalize and socialize your browsing experience by communicating to other social media users information about the websites you are visiting. Your information, once transmitted, will be held by each social media website in accordance with its own privacy policy. If you do not wish those social media websites to be able to associate your browsing behaviour with your social media user IDs, then please log out those social media accounts before using our website.
You can deactivate social plugins at any time by changing your browser preferences.
