Use of ‘’cookies’’ or other data collection tools

A cookie is a file that is sent to your web browser or computer when you visit a website that contains information about your computer such as user ID’s, user settings, browsing history and activities conducted whilst using the services of a browser you are visiting. Cookies are commonly used by websites to improve the user experience. Many cookies last only through a single website session, or visit. Others may have an expiration date or may remain on your computer until you delete them.

We may use cookies for a number of purposes - for example, to maintain continuity during a user session, to gather data about the usage of our websites for research and other purposes, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information and marketing offers, to store a user name so that you do not have to provide this information every time you return to our website, or to gather and study visitor traffic patterns on our websites to make it even more rewarding for new and returning users as well as to study the effectiveness of our client communications.

Our cookies will only track your online activity on a website and will not track your other Internet activity. Some web browsers (including mobile web browsers) provide settings that allow a user to reject cookies or to alert a user when a cookie is placed on the user's computer, tablet or mobile device. However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use certain of our online  Products and Services or website features.

We occasionally use other companies, such as Google Analytics and Optimizely Data Platform, to set cookies on our websites and gather cookie information for us about your use of our websites. You can find more information about how Google uses information collected from sites that use its services here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

In some cases, we may also use another company to operate web servers for our websites. We use the cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated above.

In addition to the information we collect from cookies, we also obtain information that you provide to us online - for example, when you submit an application or otherwise communicate with us. In some cases, we retain both the cookie information and/or the information you provide to us online - for example, to complete a transaction you requested or to keep historical records of your past transactions.
