We collect information from and about you

Other information
If you use our website, we may collect information about the browser you are using. We might look at what site you came from, or what site you visit when you leave us.
We collect information in different ways
We collect information directly from you. For example, if you submit your contact details, we collect information from you passively.
We or our partners may also use several common tracking tools. These may include browser cookies. We may also use web beacons and similar technologies. We use these tools:
- To recognize new or past users.

- To better understand the interests of our customers and our website visitors.
Some ads may be served based on tracking.
We may work with online advertising companies to show you relevant and useful ads. This may include ads served on our own websites or apps. This may also include our ads served on other companies’ sites. These ads may be based on information collected by us or third parties (for example, when you register for a site). These ads may also be based on your activities on our websites or on third party sites. This second type of advertising is called “online behavioural advertising.”
