How We Use Cookies
We use Cookies to track how you use the Services by providing usage statistics. Cookies are also used to allow product authentication to you based upon your browsing history and previous visits to the Services. Information supplied to us using cookies helps us to provide a better online experience to our visitors and users and send marketing communications to them, as the case may be.
While this information on its own may not constitute your “personal data”, we may combine the information we collect via Cookies with personal data that we have collected from you to learn more about how you use the Services to improve them.
Types of Cookies
We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them). To make it easier for you to understand why we need them, the Cookies we use on the Services can be grouped into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary: These Cookies are necessary for the Services to work properly. They include any essential authentication and authorization cookies for the Services.

- Performance/Analytics: These Cookies allow us to collect certain information about how you navigate the Services or utilize the Products running on your device. They help us understand which areas you use and what we can do to improve them.
- Marketing and Customer Support: These Cookies are used to deliver relevant information related to the Services to an identified machine or other device (not a named or otherwise identifiable person) which has previously been used to visit the Services. Some of these types of Cookies on the Services are operated by third parties with our permission and are used to identify advertising sources that are effectively driving customers to the Services.
