2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on, and accessed from, your computer or mobile device when you visit or use the Site. We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs and other similar tools (collectively, "Cookies") on our Site to improve the Site's performance, to track use of the Site and to estimate our audience size and usage pattern and perform other analytics.
3. How long will Cookies stay on my device?
Most of the Cookies we use are erased from your device immediately after your browser session terminates ("Session Cookies").

4. First and third party Cookies
First-party Cookies are Cookies that belong to us and that we place on your device.

For example, to administer our Site and for research purposes, we have contracted third-party service providers to track and analyze statistical usage and volume information from our Users.
5. Do we track whether users open our emails?
Our emails may contain a single "web beacon pixel" which enables us to verify whether our emails (and any links or advertisements within the email) are opened. We may use this information to determine whether our emails are of interest to Users, to approach Users who do not open our emails and verify whether they wish to continue receiving them. Please note that such "web beacon pixel" will be deleted once you delete the email from your email account. If you do not wish the "web beacon pixel" to be downloaded to your device at all, please set your email account settings to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
