While we may link to third parties on our services or make third-party apps available to you, our privacy policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and to understand your privacy rights before interacting with them.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are set as required to provide a specific feature or service that you have accessed or requested. For example, they allow us to display our websites in the proper format and to authenticate and verify your transactions.
Other Cookies: These cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with our websites and online services, including helping us assess the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches.

We also sometimes combine nonpersonal data collected from these technologies with other personal data we hold. When we combine data in this way, we treat the combined data as personal data for purposes of this privacy policy.
