These are small graphics files containing a unique identifier that enables us to identify when someone visits our Website or opens an email that includes these beacons. Through this, we can monitor user traffic patterns from one page to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, assess whether you accessed the website through an online advertisement displayed on a third-party site, enhance site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are dependent on cookies to function properly. Consequently, if you choose to decline cookies, their functioning may be impaired. These technologies are used to enhance your experience and improve our services, so your understanding of their use is vital. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
