How to manage your cookie settings

There are various ways in which you can manage and control your cookie settings.

You should bear in mind that, by deleting or blocking cookies, some or all of the websites you visit (or features of them) may not work properly or as effectively.

a. Turning off cookies via your web browser
Most modern web browsers will provide you with some general information about cookies, enable you to see what cookies you’ve got, allow you to delete them all or on an individual basis, and enable you block or allow cookies for all websites or individually selected websites. You can also normally turn off third party advertising cookies separately.

Please note that if you adjust your cookie settings via your web browser then, unless you delete or block each cookie individually, the changes will apply to all websites that you visit – not just our websites. You will also need to adjust your cookies on a browser-by-browser basis.

Information about cookies is usually found in the “Help” section of the web browser. Below are some links to the “Help” sections of some commonly used web browsers:

b. Turning off third party cookies
You can turn off the third party targeting/advertising cookies described in “How we use cookies” above by visiting the following link:

Google – if you would like to opt out of Googless use of cookies you can do so by visiting https://privacy.google.com http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads

Double Click – if you would like to opt out of DoubleClick’s use of cookies you can do so by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

You will also have the option of turning off third party targeting/advertising cookies each time you see an advertisement that has been personalized to you.

Some advertising networks that partner with us may use cookies to better manage advertising campaigns, specifically to personalize advertising messages and to impose frequency caps. Networks that are active on the site are participating in “Your Ad Choices” program and allow immediate opt-out of interest-based advertising by clicking on the “Your Ad Choices Icon”.

For more information please visit: www.youradchoices.com

Note that the third party listed above may need to set a cookie in order to remember that their targeting/advertising cookies should not be assigned to you in the future. If you change or delete your browser’s cookie file, or change or upgrade your browser or device, then you might need to opt out again.

YOUR COOKIE CHOICES AND HOW TO OPT OUT
You can choose whether to accept the use of Cookies and we have explained how we can exercise your rights, as follows:

• Most browsers are initially set up to accept HTTP cookies. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, and how to disable existing cookies. For more information about HTTP cookies and how to disable them, or restrict the categories of cookies you wish to accept, you can consult the information at www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.
• Controlling the HTML5 local storage on your browser depends on which browser you use. For more information regarding your specific browser please consult the browser’s website (often in the Help section).
• For more information about Flash “cookies” or local storage objects or LSOs, and how to disable them, you can consult the information provided at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/526/52697ee8.html.
• See “Use of Cookies by our Advertising Partners” for further information about how to opt out of Advertising Cookies. Please note that rejecting Cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our online services.
• Please note, however, that without HTTP cookies and HTML5 and Flash local storage, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our online services features and some parts of the online services may not function properly.
• You may opt out of additional third party advertising networks by going to the Network Advertising Initiative’s Website at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and following the directions there. The effect of opting out of third party advertising networks is explained on each opt out page. Note that for some sites, the effect of opting out of third party advertising means that customized advertising will not be delivered to you. Information regarding your usage of the online services may still be collected for research, analytics or internal operations purposes.

We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any such opt-out options.
