Privacy Policy

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make the user experience more efficient.

The law allows us to store files on your computer if they are essential for the operation of this website, but we need your permission for all others.

We use essential cookies (called “session cookies”) designed to ensure a rich and easy browsing experience. These types of cookies do not store any personal information about the user.

Our website uses some non-essential cookies. We do not use them to track or identify individual users, but to gain useful knowledge about how the site is being used so that we can continue to improve it for our users. Without this information provided by the systems that use these cookies, it would not be possible to provide our services.

We use Google Analytics, a popular analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the site. It counts the number of visitors and gives us information about their general behavior—such as the average amount of time a user spends on a site or the average number of pages per visit.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

If you have Adobe Flash installed on your computer (most people do) and use audio or video players within our website, Google Analytics will attempt to store additional information on your computer. This information is known as a Shared Local Object, or Flash cookie. This helps us analyze the popularity of our multimedia files. We can count the total number of times each file is played, how many people watched the videos to the end, and how many people gave up halfway through. The Adobe website offers tools to control Flash cookies on your computer.

If you wish to delete any cookies that are already on your computer, please read the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or folder that contains cookies. You can access them through certain types of browsers.
