Data collected by standard Internet technologies

We may also use standard Internet technologies, such as scripts, pixels and redirects. Scripts (sometimes called tags), written in javascript, are programs that run in your browser and perform different tasks, for example, sending information to our servers.

Scripts are also able to create pixels. Pixels (sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs or Web-bugs) are lines of code that allow you to display a graphic image (usually invisible) on a web page or in an email.

Redirects are used to make a web page available under multiple web addresses (URL). When a browser opens a URL redirection, a page with a different URL is opened.

How long are cookies stored on my device?

The length of time a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device will differ depending on whether it is a “permanent” or “session” cookie.
Session cookies will only remain on your device while you are browsing.
Permanent cookies will remain on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.

The lifespan of a cookie cannot exceed thirteen (13) months, regardless of its type.
