This log data may include information such as your computer's IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

In addition, we may use third party services to facilitate the Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analysing how the Service is used, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor and analyse this type of information in order to increase our Service's functionality. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. These third party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

We may use cookies on our Service to collect information and provide a better experience of our Service. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of the Service.

Cookies are text files placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personally identifiable information. However, they do allow third parties, such as Google and Facebook, to cause our advertisements to appear on your social media and online media feeds as part of our retargeting campaigns. If and when you choose to provide our Service with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.

We may use web beacons on our Service from time to time. Web beacons (also known as Clear GIFs) are small pieces of code placed on a web page to monitor the visitor's behaviour and collect data about the visitor's viewing of a web page. For example, web beacons can be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page.

We also use longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as to display your content and account information. We encode our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You always have the option of disabling cookies via your browser preferences. If you disable cookies on your browser, please note that some parts of our Service may not function as effectively or may be considerably slower.

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Service. Their use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Service or other web sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick Cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings web page.

Our Service may contain links to other websites. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We do not have any control over third party websites, and we are not responsible for the protection and privacy of any personal information that you provide while visiting those websites.

Child Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Child").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from persons under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a Child without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers or replace it with the Personal Information of the Child’s parent or guardian.
