Cookie Strategy Guidelines

Understanding Cookies and Tracking Technologies: This Cookie Notice details the cookies and related tracking technologies used across our websites and mobile apps. It explains how these tools function, their importance, and how you can manage them. What are cookies? Cookies, along with other tracking technologies like beacons, scripts, and tags, are small text files stored on your device. They remember your interactions with our site and help personalize your experience. On mobile, we use device IDs and Advertising IDs similarly to cookies, enhancing site usability and ad targeting.

(1) How Cookies Contribute to Our Site's Functionality

Required cookies Required cookies enable you to move from page to page and to use features on our websites while your browser remains open. For example, required cookies allow you to add products to your shopping cart and carry the contents of your cart to checkout. Functional cookies Functional cookies last from visit to visit. For example, functional cookies may be used to recognize you as a previous visitor to provide a more personalized experience. They are stored in your computer, device, or browser until you choose to delete them. Analytics and performance cookies Analytics and performance cookies allow us to collect data concerning the websites, including the number of visitors, where the visitors have come from, and the length of time visitors spend on the websites, which allows us or third-party service providers to analyze how our websites are used and how our websites are performing. We use third party analytics service for analytics and performance tracking, and you can learn more about their privacy policies on their website. For the provision of its services, our service uses certain cookies and transfers the information generated by such cookies to a analytics server where the information is stored. We use the stored information to analyze your use of our websites, to prepare reports on website activities for website operators, and to provide additional services in connection with the use of our websites. We process such information with your consent. You can object to the collection of your personal information at any time with future effect by applying the Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers. We would like to point out that this website uses Analytics with the “anonymizeIp()” expansion. This means that IP addresses are generally truncated prior to being transferred making direct personal identification improbable.

(2) Tracking Cookies and Technologies by Third Parties

Advertisements and Third-Party Tracking: The ads you see on our website may be served by third parties, who use their own cookies to track how often an ad is viewed and to follow your visits across different sites displaying their ads. This tracking, which is anonymous, helps advertisers deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests and limit the repetition of ads across sites. For instance, after looking up cars, you might see ads for car services on our site. We do not control these third-party cookies, and we cannot access the data collected by these advertisers, but you can opt out of being tracked by online advertisers.

(3) Guidelines for Cookie Administration

The majority of web browsers accept cookies and similar files, but you can usually change your browser settings to prevent this. If for any reason you decide that you do not like our use of certain cookies, you can simply change your settings. However, if you do so, some functionality of our websites may be lost. The setting of each browser is different. It is described in the browser’s help menu.

(4) Further Regulations
