  10. We use “cookies” to store specific information about you and track your visits to the Platforms. We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the Platforms. It is not uncommon for websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date. We will use the session cookies to keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. We will use the persistent cookies to enable our website to recognise you when you visit and keep track of your preferences in relation to your use of our website.

    A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's hard drive only if you access the Platform using a computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same computer to access the Platform, our web servers will be notified of your visit to the Platform and in turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage.

    Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to i) access your Registration Information or Account Information so you do not have to re-enter it; ii) gather statistical information about usage by users; iii) research visiting patterns and help target advertisements based on user interests; iv) assist our partners to track user visits to the Platform and process orders; and v) track progress and participation in promotions.

    For our Platform we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, LLC, 1600 Ampitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). With this service, we track the behaviour of users in order to generate anonymous statistics. This includes ‘clickstreams’, i.e. which functions of the Website or the App you see in which order. Google Analytics uses cookies. You can find further information about Google Analytics’ Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

    You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring the browser which is installed in the computer you are using to access the Platform. If you choose, you can change those configurations. By setting your preferences in the browser, you can accept all cookies or you can choose to be notified when a cookie is sent or you can choose to reject all cookies.

    For registered users of the Platform, your Registration Information and Account Information (if any) can be viewed and edited through your account, which is protected by a password.

If you share a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g., user ID and password) on that shared computer. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your session.

    No data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect the information we hold for you, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
