8. How Do We Use Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in a dedicated location on your computer, mobile device, tablet or other device when you use your browser to visit an online service. Other tracking technologies, such as web beacons and tracking pixels may be used for similar purposes. In this Privacy Policy, all of these tracking technologies are collectively referred to as “Cookies”. Any Personal Information collected with Cookies by us or on our behalf are treated with the same level of confidentiality as any other Personal Information held by us.

Strictly necessary Cookies

These Cookies are necessary for the Services to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. Strictly necessary cookies must be present for the Services to provide basic functions and could include signing in, adding items to a cart, or e-billing. They allow for a user to navigate back and forth between pages without losing their previous actions from the same session.

Non-essential Cookies

If you have consented to their use, we and/or our third-party partners may also use non-essential Cookies in connection with the Services and the Messages, including the following:

• Functional Cookies. These Cookies enable the Services to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. If you have consented to their use, functional Cookies allow the Services to remember the preferences and choices that you make including your username, region, and language.
• Social media Cookies. If you have consented to them, we use social media Cookies such as the Facebook pixel to provide you with personalised offers, to measure, optimize and build audiences for advertising campaigns served on social media platforms. The Services may also use Cookies for sharing content with social media (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram). Using the share buttons will set a Cookie to link the content viewed on our website to your user account with such networks, if any.
• Advertising Cookies. If you have consented to their use, we use advertising Cookies to gather information from you on your devices to display advertisements to you based on relevant topics that may be of interest to you. Also, our partners may use these Cookies to determine whether our advertisements were displayed to you and whether you interacted with them. In such cases, our partners share data with us, including statistics about the performance of our ads. If you want more information about how to manage and/or disable Advertising Cookies, visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. You can also refuse the use of such Cookies by following the instructions listed below.
• Analytic Cookies. We use analytic Cookies to understand traffic patterns on the Services, to help measure and improve the effectiveness of the Messages and to determine whether such messages have been opened and links clicked on. These Cookies are used for statistical purposes only. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also refuse the use of analytic Cookies by following the instructions listed below.

How to manage Cookies

Except for strictly necessary Cookies, we will only place Cookies on your devices if you consent to it, and such Cookies will be kept for a maximum period of thirteen (13) months from when they are placed on your devices. At the end of this period, your consent will be required again.

Cookies can be managed and/or disabled through your browser’s Cookie settings, mobile device’s advertising settings and, in the case of the Messages, through the Preference Center. Social media Cookies (“plugins”) can also be managed by consulting the following networks’ policies:

9. How Do We Provide Online Advertising?

With the use of Cookies, questionnaires or with mobile advertising identifiers

We may, together with our third-party partners, collect your Personal Information to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you, including advertisements about specific Services. Such Personal Information is collected: (i) with social media Cookies and/or advertising Cookies as set forth above in the Section “How do we use Cookies?”; (ii) directly from you when completing a survey, filling in a questionnaire or consenting to receiving the Messages.

Depending on the preferences that you have expressed in your mobile devices, we may, together with our advertising partners, also use your mobile advertising identifier to target and measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. In iOS, this identifier is called “IDFA” (ID for Advertising); in Android (Google Play), this identifier is called “AAID” (Android Advertising ID). You can access and reset your mobile advertising identifier or limit its use through the settings on your mobile devices’ operating system.

In no event will we permit advertising directed at children where it has actual knowledge that the user is under the age of 13. To learn more about our advertising practices, please contact us as set forth in the Section “How to contact us?”.

Do Not Track

Web browsers can transmit Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals that indicate that a user does not wish to have his/her activity tracked over time and across websites. Currently, no universally accepted standard exists for how to interpret such signals, although work to create consensus is ongoing. Accordingly, and because we do not track its users over time and across third-party websites, we do not respond to such DNT signals.

10. Where Is Your Personal Information Stored And Transferred?

Your Personal Information may be held by us in locations other than your province, territory, state, or country of residence, including in Canada (including in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario), the United States and/or the United Kingdom. We may also subcontract processing to or share your Personal Information with third parties located elsewhere, including locations other than your province, territory, state, or country of residence. In such case, we will ensure that your Personal Information is transferred to countries that have received an adequacy decision from the competent authority, or that your Personal Information is adequately protected by appropriate technical, organizational, contractual, or other lawful means. If you would like to obtain more information on these security measures, please contact us as set forth in the Section “How to contact us?”.
