This Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy governs your consent to our, as well as third-party partners’ and vendors’, use of a variety of cookies and tracking technology.

1. What are cookies and other tracking technology, and how do we use them?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device by a website that you have visited. Cookies may be placed by the Site (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies) to monitor the use of a website. Cookies will be identified depending on their purpose and functionality. Some types of cookie include, but are not limited to:
Necessary: These cookies are essential for the Site’s performance and enable you to use its features. Necessary cookies will always be dropped because these are required in order for the Site to function properly. For example, essential cookies include, but are not limited to: cookies dropped to provide the service, maintain your account, provide builder access, payment pages, create IDs for your documents and to store your consent. These cookies record the performance of the Site according to your interaction with it. We may use cookies/tracking technology required for systems administration, to prevent fraudulent activity, improve security or allow you to make use of shopping-basket functionality.
Analytics: These cookies analyse visitors’ use of our Site, as well offering you a better experience. Analytics-related cookies used on our Site do not identify you or allow us to send
you targeted advertising. For example, we may use cookies/tracking technology for analytics-related purposes to: (a) determine the number of visitors to our Site, identify how visitors move around the Site and, in particular, which pages they visit. This allows us to improve our Site and our services; and (b) determine, if data is available, from which part of the world our Site is being visited so that we can ensure sufficient coverage. More specifically, and as an example, the Provider uses Google Analytics session cookies to provide meaningful reports about Site visitors. Google Analytics cookies do not collect personal data about Site visitors. We have also engaged other third-party providers to analyse the activities of visitors to this Site, and its authorised use of cookies and other tracking technology enable it to have access to information about visitors to this Site, including your personal information, to determine your user traits and preferences to better understand user conversion rates.
Performance and personalisation: These cookies make it possible for us to give you access to a customised experience. Personalisation cookies are used to deliver content, including
ads, relevant to your interests on our Site and third-party sites based on how you interact with the different elements on our Site, as well as to track the content that you access (including viewing videos). We may also collect computer and/or connection information to tailor your experience to fit your requirements. During some visits, we may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, session information and page interaction information.
Advertising: These cookies are placed by third-party companies to deliver targeted content based on relevant topics that interest you (for example, providing you with Facebook ads
that would interest you), and allow you to better interact with social media platforms such as Facebook. We may use advertising tracking technology to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your interests on our Site and third-party sites based on how you interact with our advertisements or content, as well as to track the content that you access (including viewing videos).
Our goal is to collect and use only information that we think is required for our legitimate business interests in order to better understand your interests and improve your experience of using the Site. Cookies set via our Site include those listed below in Section 2.
