You may also be able to control advertising cookies provided by publishers, for example Google’s Ad Preference Manager. Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still receive advertising on or about the Platform – it just will not be tailored to your interests. In addition, if you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of using our Platform, Application and Services, as cookies are necessary to track and enhance your use and access.

6. COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
The technologies we use for automatic information collection may include cookies or mobile cookies, web beacons.
a) COOKIES
A cookie is a tiny element of data that we may place on your computer, smartphone or other device so we can recognise you when you return. All pages on the Service where you are prompted to log in or that are customisable require that you accept cookies. There are two main types of cookies:
i) Session Cookies: these are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session; when you leave the site. Session cookies allow a website to recognise you as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website most efficiently. For example, session cookies enable a website to remember that a user has placed items in an online shopping basket.
ii) Persistent Cookies: in contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your equipment between browsing sessions until expiration or deletion. They therefore enable a website to "recognise" you on your return, remember your preferences, and tailor services to you.
In addition to session cookies and persistent cookies, there may be other cookies, which are set by our Website or Mobile App, in order to provide us, or third parties, with information. If you have registered with the Service, these cookies (1) may let us know who you are, (2) are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products and personalised services, and (3) will provide us and our service providers with information that we will use to personalise the Service in accordance with your preferences. [Cookies are also required to optimise your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping basket before checking out]. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from this Service, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit the Service.
We may also use cookies to improve the performance of our advertising on other websites.
b) OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We also use "pixel tags" (also known as “web beacons” or “tracking pixels”), which are tiny graphic images, on our websites and in our emails. Pixel tags help us analyse our customers' online behaviour and measure the effectiveness of our websites and our advertising. We work with service providers that help us track, collect, and analyse this information.
c) USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use “Google Analytics” to help us anonymously track and report visitor behaviour information and visitors’ standard log information to the Service. This information (including but not limited to: IP address, data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and information processing) helps us analyse and evaluate how the Service is used as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the Service. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting. Google Analytics may have access to your information only for the purposes of performing these tasks and on our behalf and under obligation similar in those in this Privacy Policy. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html) and the Google Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/). You can prevent Google Analytics from recognising you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser or by opting out of Google Analytics Cookies (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
d) ADVERTISING/BEHAVIORAL TARGETING
We may use third party ad network providers to help present ads on the Service, as well as other service providers to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the platforms and viewing of our content. Such providers may place and access cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies on your device to serve you ads or other content personalised to your interests, which they infer from your browsing on the Service and other sites you have visited. In doing so, the provider collects or has access to non-Personal Information such as your Usage Information. The use of cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies by these providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours.
7. INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIES
We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from our Service, that website will submit to us your email address and other Personal Information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party website) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including usage information, device identifiers, and Personal Information such as lists of your friends, "likes", comments you have shared, groups and location. Services like Facebook Connect might give you the option to post information about your activities on our Service to your profile page to share with others within your social networks. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third-party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their "connections" or information about you is otherwise accessible through your "connections'" web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service. We may also receive information about you from third party data providers.
