Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information from and about you when you visit our website, create an account with us, or otherwise use our Services (as defined in the Privacy Policy) or interact with us. This Cookie Policy provides more detail about how we use cookies and similar technologies and the choices you have concerning such use.

Information about our use of cookies and similar technologies

When you visit our website, we and our partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons, to collect and process information about you and your use of our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that, among other things, help us improve our website and your experience, see which areas and features of our website are popular, and count visits. Cookies may be first-party cookies, i.e., served by us, or third-party cookies, i.e., served by others like our service providers. Web beacons (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) are electronic images that we use on our website and in our emails to help deliver cookies, count visits, personalize your experience, deliver personalized ads, support marketing efforts and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. We may include web beacons on our website, in our marketing e-mail messages or newsletters, or on affiliated websites, including client platforms and products, to determine whether messages have been opened and links clicked on.

How cookies and similar technologies interact with your devices

When you first visit our website, if you indicate that you are or if you appear to be from a geographic region outside of the US, we will not set any cookies other than essential cookies without your consent, and we will ask your permission to set certain optional cookies and similar technologies on your device. It is entirely up to you whether you consent or not (although some aspects of the website may not work as well if you do not consent). If you indicate that you are or if you appear to be from the US, we will automatically set cookies and similar technologies on your device. In either case, you can opt out of optional cookies and similar technologies at any time. See How to manage cookies and similar technologies below for more details.

We may use the following cookies

Essential cookies. These cookies are required for the operation of our website and legal compliance. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to select your geographic region and investor type (required for our compliance with laws), and secure our website.

Analytical/performance cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Functionality cookies. These cookies allow us to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences.

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed to you more relevant to your interests. We also may share this information with third parties for this purpose.
