All the Cookies in the jar
Different kinds of cookies are used for different purposes.
Necessary Cookies
These cookies allow us to provide you with a better online experience when you use our website. These cookies allow us to analyze site usage so we can measure and improve performance. These cookies do not gather information that could be used to identify you.
Functional Cookies

Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us understand how visitors use our site, helping us keep our site relevant, easy to use and up to date.
Sometimes, the services we use to collect this information may be operated by other companies on our behalf. They may use similar technologies to cookies, known as “web beacons” or “tags”. These are anonymous and, as they are only used for statistical purposes, they do not contain or collect any information that identifies you.
We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns throughout our website in a way that does not identify anyone. Read more about their policies here.
Targeting and Advertising Cookies
We have relationships with carefully-selected and monitored third parties who may also use cookies during your visit. The purpose of these cookies is “behavioral advertising”, which is a means of showing you relevant products and services based on what you appear to be interested in. Although these cookies can track your visits around the web they don’t know who you are. Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.
We use services that allow us to inform, optimize and serve adverts based on past use of our site. It is performed by tracking usage data and by using cookies, which are then transferred to the partners that manage the remarketing and behavioral targeting activity. We use Facebook custom audience, Twitter custom audience, and LinkedIn custom audience. Prior to use, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn hash this information. Hashing is a type of cryptographic security method which turns the information into randomized code. The process cannot be reversed
