3. What You Agree to by Using Our Website

You are free to refuse to give consent or to withdraw the consent that you had given.

4. With Whom We Share Information

Except as set forth in this Policy or as explicitly agreed by you, we will not disclose any of your Personally Identifiable Information. In addition to the other uses set forth in this Policy, we may disclose and otherwise use Personally Identifiable Information as described below.

Our Partners. We allow third parties, including carefully selected ad networks and business partners, to display advertising on our Website. Our Partners may, for instance, collect, use and share your information to make or help us make predictions about your interests, and may provide you with offers, promotional materials, and advertisements. In addition, Our Partners may be collecting certain information either by you or from your device. Our Website permits Our Partners to collect your Personally Identifiable Information to provide personalised advertising to you. Our Partners are leading digital performance-based advertising groups which put great effort in making sure that your personal information is safe and used properly.

Service Providers. Your information may be collected by entities that provide services to us, including companies that deliver web analytics, data processing, data enhancement and customer insights, advertising, email distribution, and other services.

Other Parties (when required by law or as necessary to protect our services). We may disclose your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to other parties in order to:

  • protect our legal rights or property, the legal rights or property of our affiliates, and sites or services we work with;
  • protect the rights, safety and security of our users, ourselves, or any other person or entity;
  • prevent fraud (or for risk management purposes); or
  • comply with applicable legal requirements, legal process or request for cooperation by a governmental or supervisory authority, whether or not legally required. For example, we may be required to disclose your information to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Use for Analytical and Ad Serving Purposes. 

We use standard tools common within the industry, including but not limited to Google Analytics, to collect information about use of our Website. These tools collect information such as how often you visit our Website and what other sites you visited prior to reaching our Website. We use the information we obtain from analytical tools for the purposes of improving our Website. The analytical tools collect only the IP address assigned to your computer or other device and your browser settings as of the moment you visit our Website, rather than your name or other identifying information.

We also use standard tools common within the industry, such as DoubleClick for Publishers operated by Google, enabling placement and management of personalised advertising services on our Website. These tools use cookies to target advertising based on what is relevant to you as a user to improve advertising and to avoid showing ads that you have already seen. Cookies themselves contain no Personally Identifiable Information. They relate to your web activity, rather than your identity. Tools such as DoubleClick will send a cookie to your web browser after any impression, click, or other activity by you on our servers. If your web browser accepts the cookie, the cookie will be planted on your web browser. DoubleClick will usually send a cookie to your web browser when you visit any webpage displaying DoubleClick ads. Webpages containing DoubleClick ads include ad tags that instruct web browsers to request ad content from our servers. When the server delivers the ad content, it will also send a cookie.

Finally, our Website relies on common industry tools Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These tools help us understand the composition of viewers of our Website in terms of gender, age and interests. We need this information in order to understand what types of creative content we need to develop to suit the interests of different demographic and interest groups. In addition, Our Partners may need this information to develop marketing content.

5. How We Keep Your Information Secure

We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personally Identifiable Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction in accordance with requirements of applicable laws.

6. Use of ‘Cookies’ / Cookies Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that typically consist of letters and numbers. A cookie may be planted on the web browser of your PC or other device whenever you access certain websites. The purpose of a cookie is to store basic information, such as visitor preferences. A cookie will be sent back to the originating website on each of your subsequent visits to such website. Cookies are useful because they allow websites to recognize your web browser or device over a period of time.

Most Internet browsers support cookies. Users can manage their web browsers by setting them to decline certain types of cookies, or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. The majority of the world’s well-known websites use cookies. Features or services available on some websites may not even function properly without cookies.

What Types of Cookies We Use?

The cookies described below are used to improve our website. They contain no personal information that would enable us, or anybody else, to identify you as an individual by means of, for example, extracting your name or contact details.

Two types of cookies may be used on your visit to our website:

First-party cookies, which are set by a specific website and can be read only by that website. For example, when a cookie from our website is planted on your web browser, only our website will be able to recognize such cookie.

Third-party cookies, which are set by another company than ours, such as a third-party analytics company, which plants on your web browser its own cookies.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies to better understand how you interact with the content on our website. Moreover, these small files can augment your user experience, because they remember your individual preferences. Cookies help us count how many users visit specific pages on our website. Another reason for using cookies is to serve you content customised to suit your specific interests. More particularly, they help learn about your behaviour to serve you targeted advertisements on third-party websites in an effort to tailor products and services to your individual needs.

When We Use Cookies?

Any browser loading our website will receive cookies. You can always opt-out of both types of cookies on our website by adjusting your cookies settings. The instruction on disabling cookies follows below.

How to Disable and/or Delete Cookies?

First of all, please note that most browsers accept cookies by default. You have the right to accept or stop cookies from being planted on your PC, or other device, at any time by modifying the settings in your web browser in a way matching your cookie preferences. You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish for details, please see aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your PC, or other device, and you can set most browsers to prevent cookies from being placed. In such a case, however, you will have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a website. As a result, some services and functionality may not be running properly.

7. Use of Information for Personal Advertising

The information collected by Our Partners is used to analyse trends, understand user activities and gather demographic information to enable, manage and develop their personalised ads and related services. Our Partners may share such information with their affiliates. To do this, Our Partners use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interaction with our Website and third-party websites. This type of information does not identify you personally and, typically, is aggregated with other data to create segments —groups of users and general interest categories that are inferred based on a range of factors (for example, «sports fan»). Our Partners use this information to form a more accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which they interact — including you — so that their ads are more relevant to those interests.

In addition, Our Partners may use the information collected from these types of cookie or similar technologies for a variety of other purposes, including:

  • in conjunction with advertising that appears on other third-party websites;
  • to measure the effectiveness of web-based and email advertisements;
  • and
  • for reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement data and other interaction with ads and the websites on which they are served.
  • Our Partners retain your information in accordance with their legitimate business purposes for processing. Thereafter, the information is removed, archived for restricted legitimate interests, or anonymized. Non-identifying information may be kept without time and use limitations.

8. Retention of Personal Information

If you reside or are located in the EEA, your Personally Identifiable Information will be stored for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which the Personally Identifiable Information was collected. The length of time Personally Identifiable Information is retained depends on the purpose for which such information was collected and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

9. Your Legal Rights

The above requests shall be processed by us within reasonable time and unless provided otherwise from the local applicable law, within one month from the submitted written request. This period of time may be extended under certain circumstances by further two months.

 

You will not have to bear any cost to exercise any of your rights. We may though charge a reasonable fee should your requests be clearly unfounded or excessive. due to their repetitive character, or refuse to comply with such requests.

10. Children’s Privacy

No part of our Website is directed to children or minors under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from anyone that we know is under 18 years of age. If you are under 16 years of age (unless a lower age threshold between 13 and 16 applies in your country), then please do not use or access this Website, or ask your parents for permission before using our Website or sending any information about yourself to anyone over the Internet.
