communication service that we may operate (“Services”). Cookies can collect information about your
access and use of that Service through logging the activity of your Device with respect to such Service.
We use cookies to improve the use and functionality of our Services and to enhance your experience when
using our Services. Your web browser stores cookies on your Device hard drive for record-keeping
purposes (e.g. logging in) and sometimes to track information. You may choose to set your web browser to
refuse cookies. We do not use cookies to collect personal information such as your name; however, we may
link information contained in a cookie to personal information you may provide us with other means (e.g.
general website registration).
When you access our Services, the following types of cookies may be placed on your Device. They can be
categorized according to their source, their technical features and their purpose. These categories are
not mutually exclusive and a cookie may thus belong to several of the following categories.
- COOKIES FROM INTERNAL SOURCE (FIRST-PARTY COOKIES)
First-party cookies are cookies placed on your Device directly by us and can only be read by our
Services. They can be session or persistent cookies (explained below). For example, we use first party
cookies to speed up the log in process or enhance your experience of our Services.
- COOKIES FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE (THIRD-PARTY COOKIES)
Third-party cookies are cookies placed on your Device by third-parties we use for services embedded in
our Services. For example, they are used in relation to audience measurement analysis and to improve the
relevance of the content of our Services.
- SESSION COOKIES
Session cookies are cookies that are placed on your Device during a browser session and that become
invalid once the browser is closed. We and our partners use session cookies for various reasons,
including to manage and measure your access and use of our Services during a single browser session and
to help you to use our Services more efficiently. For example, session cookies are used to remind our
Services that your Device is logged into our Services.
- PERSISTENT COOKIES
Persistent cookies are cookies that are placed on your Device during a browser session and that remain
stored in your Device during a defined period of time. For example, persistent cookies allow our

to help you quickly sign-in to our Services again. We and our partners may also use persistent cookies
for analytical purposes.
The cookies used by our Services may have the following purposes:

Analytics cookies are used to monitor statistics of our Services’ traffic (either in regard to the use
of the Services or in order to improve functionalities offered by the Services) and to help us measure
