Deep Dive into 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.

Do we track whether users open our emails? Our emails may contain a “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should read the email in plain text view or with images disabled.
