COOKIES
A cookie is a small amount of information that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Website. Our Website uses a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make the browsing experience better by allowing the Website to remember a user’s actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means the user does not have to reenter this information each time the user returns to the website or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our Website may no longer be fully accessible.
Some browsers automatically accept cookies, however, you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls which are often found in your browser’s tools or preferences menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help section or online.
Additionally, blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties. To exercise your rights or for information regarding how to opt-out of certain uses of your information, please see the Advertising and Analytics section above.
DO NOT TRACK
We would not alter our data collection and usage practices if we were to detect a “do not track” signal from your browser because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “do not track” signals. Browsing on a private setting may help you to reduce tracking.
USING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your Personal Information to provide our services to You, which include fulfillment of your service requests, processing payments, notifications and/or reminders of upcoming services, changes to a service request, information regarding our policies, and to update You regarding services, events, blogs, newsletters, offers or products.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
