Cookies

Cookies are small text fragments sent as files to your computer or mobile device when you visit most websites. They can be sent by us (first party cookies) or by third party vendors or business partners (third party cookies).
They can also be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies allow websites to recognize and associate the actions of a user during a browsing session and expire at the end of a session.
Persistent cookies help us recognize existing users and are stored on the system or device used until they expire, although it is possible to delete them before the expiration date.

Other similar technologies

Web beacons, gifs and clear gifs are small images, each with a unique identifier, that are invisibly embedded into websites and emails. Web beacons let us know if a particular page has been visited, or if the banner ads on our sites and third-party sites are effective. We also use web beacons in our HTML emails to tell us whether recipients have opened them, which helps us evaluate the effectiveness of certain communications, promotions and marketing campaigns.
Proximity-based beacons send unidirectional signals over very short distances to enable communication with associated mobile applications installed on your phone. They can, for example, provide you with notifications about experiences related to your trip and let you know about relevant offers or promotions. Beacons communicate with your device only when you are nearby and if you have given your consent to do so in the relevant mobile application.
Pixels are small objects embedded in a web page that are not visible to the user. We use pixels to send cookies to your computer, facilitate the login process, monitor activity on our sites and display online advertising.
Tags are small pieces of HTML code that tell your browser to request certain content generated by an ad server. We use tags to show you relevant advertising and promotions.
Scripts are snippets of JavaScript code that are executed automatically when certain web pages are loaded, for the purpose of determining whether users see associated advertisements.
Local storage objects, such as HTML5, are used to store content and preferences. Third parties with whom we collaborate to provide certain features on our site and display advertising based on your web browsing activity use local storage objects to collect and store information.
All described technologies described above will be collectively referred to as "cookies" in this Cookie Statement.

Anti-monitoring signals and similar mechanisms

Some browsers may transmit anti-monitoring signals to the websites with which they communicate. Because of differences in the way browsers incorporate and enable this feature, it is not always clear whether users want these signals to be transmitted, or are even aware of them. The participants in the largest internet protocol organization on this subject are currently discussing what action should or should not be taken by website owners when they receive these signals. Currently, we have not taken any action in response to these signals. At such time as a final protocol is established and accepted, we will reevaluate how our sites respond to these signals and make any necessary updates to this Cookie Statement.
