Cookie Usage Policy

Our website, digital platforms, interactive applications, email communications, and advertisements utilize various tracking technologies, including cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons. These technologies help us analyze user engagement, recognize popular sections of our platform, and assess the effectiveness of advertisements and search visibility. Data collected via cookies and similar tools is generally treated as non-personal. However, if laws categorize Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or comparable identifiers as personal data, we will process them accordingly. If non-personal and personal data are merged, we will treat the combined information in line with our Privacy Policy.

Ad Preferences & Tracking Control

Our advertising network may display ads in services like the App Store or News. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertisements, you can enable the “Limit Ad Tracking” feature. This option ensures that your unique identifier is excluded from interest-based advertising across devices. On mobile devices, enabling this feature also restricts third-party applications from using the Advertising Identifier for personalized ads. However, while interest-based ads are disabled, you may still encounter contextual advertisements based on your recent searches or viewed content in services like the News app or App Store.

Data Personalization & Usage

Our company and partners may store specific information when you interact with our websites, services, or applications. These technologies are designed to enhance and personalize your experience. For instance, saving your name enables us to greet you personally during your next visit. Details like your country, language preferences, and professional background allow us to tailor services to your needs. Additionally, insights into your shopping preferences or browsing habits help us provide more relevant advertisements and content. Access to device details and hardware identifiers supports functionalities like operating system adjustments, service personalization (e.g., iCloud setup), and improved customer assistance.

Managing Cookies

On mobile devices, go to Settings, choose Safari, and adjust your cookie settings under the Privacy & Security section. For other browsers, refer to their respective support guides. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may impact certain website functionalities.

Automatic Log Data Collection

Similar to most online services, we automatically collect and store specific details in log files. This includes information such as IP addresses, browser types, language preferences, Internet Service Provider (ISP) data, referring and exit pages, operating system details, timestamps, and clickstream activity. This information is utilized to analyze trends, manage our website, enhance user experience, optimize services, and gain demographic insights. Additionally, it assists in marketing and advertising strategies.

Email & Pixel Tracking

Some of our emails contain “click-through URLs” that redirect users through an intermediary server before reaching the intended webpage. This enables us to measure interest in specific topics and evaluate the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer to avoid tracking, refrain from clicking these links. Furthermore, embedded pixel tags in emails help ensure proper message formatting and allow us to track email open rates. This data helps refine our communication efforts and minimize unnecessary messages.
