Every time the user loads the website, the browser sends cookie information back to the server to notify the website that it recognizes the user.

We use cookies when you visit our websites, for the purposes of analyzing use of our websites, and improving and optimizing our websites and services.
You can remove cookies from your web browser by following the directions provided in your browser’s “help” or “settings” sections.

11. YOUR RIGHTS
In relation to online advertising data, there are various methods that enable you to manage consents and data use directly, without contacting publishers or media owners:
● for the USA: www.aboutads.info/choices and www.networkadvertising.org/choices
● for Europe www.youronlinechoices.com
● for Canada: youradchoices.ca/choices
● for mobile devices: http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice
● for connected TVs: https://www.networkadvertising.org/internet-connected-tv-choices/
Some of these methods may place a cookie on your device to identify you as not wanting to receive targeted ads so, if you change devices or delete cookies, you may need to repeat this process.
In addition, under international data protection laws, including the GDPR in the EU/EEA or the UK and PIPEDA in Canada, you may have various additional rights such as the following:
● to access your personal data
● to require us to correct mistakes in your personal data
● to have personal data concerning you erased (“the right to be forgotten”)
● to receive personal data which you have provided to us(“portability”)
● to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing or for certain other purposes
● to restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances
Consumers who are resident in US states such as California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, or Utah (and others in the future) may have additional rights under state privacy legislation. Depending on the particular provisions of such local laws, you may have some or all of the following rights:
● to have inaccurate data corrected
● to access and know what personal information we collect and hold, from which types of sources it was obtained, for what purposes, and the types of third parties it is shared with
● to opt out of sales or sharing of personal information
● to request deletion of personal information that we collected from you
● to limit use of sensitive information
● to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights (e.g. we would not deny you goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide you a different level of quality).
Where our use or communication of your data is based on your consent, then you can always withdraw that consent (but any processing that took place before withdrawal will still be legal).
If you wish to exercise any of your legal rights, or have another issue or inquiry, it may be easiest to contact the publisher or media provider to whom you originally gave your consent. In other cases, please contact us using the details in this Notice and we will help as far as possible. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on your request. If you believe that we have not respected your rights then you may also have a right to challenge our compliance before the supervisory authority in your country.
