Cookie Policy

what is a cookie?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (through a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and stay logged in. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (so-called “first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who provide content on the website or offer advertising or analytics services (“third-party cookies “).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels”. These are usually small transparent images that provide us with statistics for purposes similar to cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your computer in the same way . Therefore, if you disable cookies, web beacons can still load, but their functionality will be limited.

Facebook may use data about how users use such other services to recognize visitors to our website on its services, enabling it to tailor its advertising to the user’s interests and preferences.

You can opt out of this form of advertising by changing your settings on Facebook’s settings page.

Facebook Lookalike Audiences

Facebook Lookalike Audiences allows us to use existing data sets to compile groups and lists of users according to specific criteria in order to provide users with similar interests and preferences with relevant information about Facebook’s services.
