What are 'Cookies'? 

Cookies are small files placed on your computer or device by a website or mobile application. A cookie contains a unique identifier assigned to your device, but does not contain personal information such as your name or email address. Cookies help you navigate from page to page on a website, provide secure links, and remember your preferences from a previous visit when you return. 

Users have the right to block and remove cookies, but doing so may interfere with their browsing experience or mean that some features and services cannot be provided to them.

 

What do we use cookies for?

We use cookies to analyze information flow; personalize the services, content, and advertising we offer; measure promotional effectiveness; and promote trust and security. Some of our services can only be provided using cookies.

We use both first-party cookies (Peanut cookies) and third-party cookies, which are cookies provided by other people's websites.  For example, a third-party content provider might provide a cookie when you access content hosted on their website.  We do not have access to these third-party cookies, and their providers will have their own cookies and privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

Different types of cookies

Cookies can be grouped into the following types:

1. Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies are essential for the Site to function. For example, cookies that allow us to identify registered users and ensure their access to the Site. If you choose to disable these cookies, you may not be able to access all the content on the site.

2. Performance cookies

Performance cookies are used to analyze how people use the Site and to monitor the Site's performance. Usage analysis allows us to improve the Site by identifying popular content, and monitoring helps us detect and fix problems quickly.

3. Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies are used to allow us to remember your preferences for useful features, such as providing the Site in a different language.

4. Marketing of Cookies

Target cookies are used to help deliver advertisements to users that are relevant to them by collecting information about their browsing habits and use of the Site.  They can also be used to allow third parties to display relevant and personalized ads to users through their networks, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and to limit the number of times they see the same ad.

5. Social media cookies

Social media cookies allow users to interact more easily with social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. We do not control social media cookies, and they do not allow us to access your social media accounts. Please consult the relevant privacy policies of the social media platform for information about their cookies.

 

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a popular cookie-based web analytics service provided by Google Inc., which we use to monitor how visitors use our Site, to compile usage reports, and to help us improve the Site.

Please see Google's privacy policy here for more information about the data Google collects and how it is processed.

If you prefer not to have your data reported by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On by following the instructions here.

 

Facebook ads

We use Facebook's services to deliver our ads to you.  You can control how Facebook uses your data to show you ads by using your ad preferences settings on Facebook. More information about how Facebook uses personal information can be found here:

https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/ 

https://www.facebook.com/about/ads 

https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/edit/   

In your Facebook ad preferences, you'll see that ads can be delivered to you based on specific "interests" or advertisers, and you'll be able to manage your ad preference settings for both.

You can also use your device settings to configure your advertising preferences.

If you have opted out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still see non-targeted online ads from us if your "interests" settings on Facebook align with an audience segment (predefined by Facebook) to which we are associated. The display of such ads is controlled by Facebook, not by us.
