1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites you visit place on your device. Each subsequent visit sends the cookies back to the website or to another website that recognizes those cookies. They are used to keep websites functional and to operate more efficiently, as well as to provide certain information to the owners of websites.
This information can be used to create a more personalized or responsive service. Cookies can be set either directly by us on your device or as third-party cookies by an independent supplier. Whenever you use this website, information can be collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies (e.g., tags, scripts).
The Cookie Notice is part of the Privacy Policy notice.
2. Cookies We May Use and Why
When we use cookies on our website, we can classify them into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential for the site to function and cannot be turned off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to your actions that involve a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.
Analytical and Performance Cookies allow us to record visits and track traffic on the site so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They can be set by us or by a third party (e.g., Adobe, Google, Akamai, Brightcove, Qualtrics) and help us to identify which pages are the most and least visited and to see how visitors move around the site.
Functional Cookies enable the site to offer enhanced and personalized features. They can be set by us or by a third party, such as Adobe, whose services we have added to our pages.
Advertising/Targeting Cookies may be set on our site by our advertising partners, such as Adobe. The purpose of setting these cookies is for these companies to get a picture of your interests and to display relevant ads for you on other sites.
Social Network Cookies are set by social networks (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) that we have added to the website to enable you to share content with your friends/followers.
These cookies can track your activity across other websites and thus create a profile of your interests. This may affect the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

3. How Long Will Cookies Stay on My Device?
How long cookies will stay on your device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. A persistent cookie will be stored in the web browser and will remain valid until a specific expiry date, unless deleted by you before the expiry date. On the other hand, a session cookie will expire at the end of your web session, when the web browser is closed.
4. How Can I Control Cookies?
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please note that removing or blocking cookies can affect your user experience, and parts of this website may not be fully accessible.
When cookies are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our website, we will seek your consent to use cookies when you first visit our website. Approval or refusal to use cookies is finalized by clicking on "Manage Cookie Settings" at the top of this page.
Also, you can change browser settings by managing and changing cookies. Detailed information on how to do this can be found at: http://www.aboutcookies.org/.
Accepting or refusing the use of cookies applies exclusively to the website for which this Cookie Notice is intended, and not for other websites that are linked to ours. For more information about cookies used by linked websites, check their cookie notices.
5. Email Communication
Tracking technologies for monitoring your activity in relation to email communications may be used to determine whether you have read, clicked on, or forwarded a particular email communication, with the goal of making it more useful and interesting to users. If you do not wish to confirm whether you have opened, clicked on, or forwarded our communication, you need to unsubscribe, as it is not possible to send these emails without disabled tracking. Registered users can update their settings at any time, or can unsubscribe by following the instructions in the individual email communication you receive from us.
6. Changes to this Cookie Notice
We will occasionally update the Terms of Use of cookies, and any change will be marked by a date at the top of the page, which will be valid from that date. We suggest that you periodically review these Terms of Use of cookies to be informed about our methods of using cookies.
