4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

a. Cookies

To enable our Sites to recognize your browser or device and to provide and improve our Services, we use cookies and other identifiers. We may collect Personal Data and other information through the Sites by way of cookies or other tracking technologies. Cookies and other tracking technologies are script files that facilitate the collection of non-personally identifying information, such as the number of visitors to the Sites, how each visitor arrived at the Sites and the visitor’s use and behavior patterns on the site to ensure a better customer experience.

We use certain first-party cookies, which do not require your consent, that commonly are referred to as “strictly necessary cookies.” These cookies ensure our digital services work correctly and meet audience needs and interests. We use the following strictly necessary cookies:

• Session cookies: the use of these cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identification data (random numbers generated by the server), which are necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the Sites and/or the Services. They are not permanently stored on your device and disappear when the browser is closed or after a period of inactivity. In particular, the use of session cookies is aimed at the security and improvement of the Services offered;

• Technical cookies: these cookies track the consent given by you and are used to identify you for the duration of your session and to authorize you to use parts of the Sites that would otherwise be restricted;

• User centric security: these cookies detect and block cross-site request forgery attacks;

• User interface customization: these cookies track your preferences (such as language or font) and data transferred between different pages on the Sites; and

• Analytics cookies: these cookies are similar to technical cookies insofar as they are used directly by the website manager to collect aggregate information on the number of visitors and the pattern of visits to, and use of, the Sites and/or the Services.

Some third parties also may provide cookies or similar technologies on the Sites and/or the Services. You are free to “opt-out” of the use of these cookies at any time as described below. Such cookies or similar technologies are not under our control, are managed by third parties (for example, https://www.framer.com/legal/cookie-policy/), and are divided into the following macro-categories:

• Profiling cookies: these cookies are used to track your navigation on the web and to create profiles on your tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages can be transmitted to your device in line with the preferences already expressed by you when browsing online. In accordance with the regulations applicable to the Sites and/or the Services, you may “opt out” of the use of these cookies and the performance of the processing operations connected to them. The deactivation of such third-party cookies does not compromise the use of the Sites and/or the Services; and

• Multimedia content player: these cookies store technical data to play back video or audio content for the duration of a session.

Examples of the cookies we use include the following:

Almost all web browsers allow you to verify which cookies are present on your personal hard drives, block all cookies, or receive a notification any time a cookie is installed. In certain cases, however, failure to install a cookie may lead to the impossibility to use certain sections of the Sites and/or Services. If you elect to reject cookies and other tracking technologies, we may not be able to deliver certain information or services to you. Information about the procedure you are required to follow in order to disable cookies can also be found on at https://allaboutcookies.org/how-to-manage-cookies. 

The Sites use various analytics tools that use cookies to process information including standard internet log information and details of the visitor’s behavioral patterns upon visiting our site. These tools are used to provide you with a better experience, and to facilitate the use of certain functions. Upon request, we will provide you with additional information about these tools including how you can opt-out from information processing by these tools.

The “California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018” became effective January 1, 2020, and was amended by the “California Privacy Rights Act of 2020” effective January 1, 2023 (together, “CA Privacy Laws”). The CA Privacy Laws grant California consumers new rights related to their Personal Data. The CA Privacy Laws afford California consumers new rights to transparency about data collection including rights to control access and use of their Personal Data, including, but not limited to, the right to correct personal information and opt out of data sharing.

If you wish to opt out of data sharing, correct Personal Data, or exercise any other rights you have under the CA Privacy Laws, please contact us at the email specified below in this Privacy Policy.

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide Personal Data in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared that information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2024 will receive information regarding 2023 sharing activities). To obtain this information, please contact us at the email specified below in this Privacy Policy with “Shine the Light Request” on the subject line and in the body of your message. We will provide the requested information to you at your email address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.

7. COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of Personal Data from children under the age of thirteen (13) years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (the “COPPA Rule”) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of thirteen (13) years old.

To protect children’s Personal Information, we do not knowingly collect any Personal Data from persons under the age of eighteen (18) that can be used to specifically identify them, and we do not permit persons under the age of eighteen (18) to use the Sites or the Services. If we become aware that a child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with Personal Data, we will immediately take steps to delete the Personal Data submitted and terminate the account.
