- Server-side technologies, which collect and process information about you and your interactions with our Digital Properties on our servers and transmit that data to third parties (such as through an API connection).
We may use both first-party Cookies, which are set by us, and third-party Cookies, which are set by other parties. Some of the Cookies we use may last solely for your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser, while others are persistent and stored after you close your browser.

- Functionality/Personalization, such as remembering language preferences and pages and products you have viewed in order to enhance and personalize your experience when you visit our Digital Properties;
- Performance/Analytics, such asanalyzing how our websites are used to understand which pages within our Digital Properties are most popular and how users move around them.

The DAA provides a mechanism for you to opt out of interest-based advertising performed by participating members at https://youradchoices.com/. Opting out of interest-based advertising will not opt you out of all advertising, but rather only interest-based advertising from us or our agents or representatives. If you are using a mobile device, you can manage interest-based ads on your device by adjusting the settings provided by your device manufacturer or the operating system provider: Manage settings on iOS devices; and Manage settings on Android devices.

- International Transfers of Personal Data
Due to the global nature of our operations, some of the recipients mentioned in the How We Disclose Personal Data section of this Privacy Notice may be located in countries outside the EEA, Switzerland or the UK that do not provide an adequate level of data protection as defined by data protection laws in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. Certain third countries have been officially recognized by the European Commission, Switzerland, and the UK Secretary of State as providing an adequate level of protection. Transfers within our corporate group or to third parties located in third countries that have not received such recognition take place using an acceptable data transfer mechanism, such as the EU and/or UK Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, approved Codes of Conduct and Certifications, on the basis of permissible statutory derogations, or any other valid data transfer mechanism issued by the EEA, Swiss or UK authorities.
Please reach out to us using the contact information in the Contact Information section above if you want to receive further information about how we transfer Personal Data or, where available, a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism.
