Passive information collection (that is, collecting information without the visitor actively providing it) usually occurs while a visitor navigates the Site.

Cookies are a standard feature of websites that allow us to store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to our Site. Cookies help us learn which areas of the Site are useful and which areas need improvement.

A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

“Session” cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the site “remembers” previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.

"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (such as passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on your computer may hold personally identifiable information, but only if you have registered or have otherwise consented to the retention of personally identifiable information you have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site’s server only knows that an unidentified visitor with your cookie has returned to the site.

You can choose to block the use of cookies through your browser. If you do not want to accept cookies, your browser can be set so that you automatically deny cookies storage or inform each time a site requests a cookie to be stored. Through the browser, previously stored cookies can also be deleted. See the browser's help pages for more information. Please refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html for information on commonly used browsers. However, if you choose not to accept cookies, it may limit the features available to you on our websites.

We and our service providers may also automatically collect and use information in the following ways:

Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Mac), screen resolution, operating system name and version, and Internet browser type and version. We may collect similar information, such as your device type and identifier, if you access the Site through a mobile device. We use this information to ensure that the Site functions properly.

IP address: Your IP address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits the Site, along with the time of the visit and the pages visited. We use partially masked IP addresses for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, diagnosing server problems and administering the site. We may also derive your approximate location from your partially masked IP address (two-byte anonymisation).

Device Information: We may collect information from the device (device type, operating system, screen resolution, language, country you are located in, and web browser type) you used during your visit

Session and persistent cookies can be classified into one of four categories:

Strictly necessary cookies	These cookies are strictly necessary to enable you to move about the site or to provide certain features you have requested.
Functional cookies	These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
Performance/Analytics cookies	These cookies collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual - and support the measurement of websites. This information helps improve websites by identifying any problems that visitors may encounter during their visit and by learning how they entered the site and which pages they visited.
Third party cookies	These cookies are set by a website other than the one you are currently on. For example, some websites might have social media sharing buttons. When you use one of the share buttons, a cookie may be set by the service you have chosen to share content through. Such cookies can only be disabled through the relevant third party website. Some websites might display advertisements. Such cookies collect information about user’s browsing habits and enable advertisements to be targeted to them based on their interests.
