We may also use what we learn from your behavior on our website(s) to serve you targeted ads for our products and services on third-party websites.
What type of cookies do we use?
Both First-Party and Third-Party Cookies: We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website. First-party cookies are set from the web page address and are generally used to determine language and location preferences or to provide basic site functionality.

We do not share any personal information that we collect with advertisers. You can opt out of off-site and third-party-informed advertising by adjusting your cookie settings. Opting out will not remove advertising from the pages you visit, but, instead, opting out will result in the ads you see not being matched to your interests. This implies that the ads you see will not be matched with your interests by those particular cookies.
How are third-party cookies used?
For some of the functions on our websites, such as pages with YouTube embedded videos or links that direct you elsewhere, we use third-party providers. These videos or links (and any other content from third-party providers) may contain third-party cookies, so we recommend referring to the privacy policies of these third-party providers to learn more about their use of cookies.
