Like most websites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies.
Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information.
This Cookie Policy specifically explains how we and our partners deploy cookies and other tracking technologies, as well as the options you have to control them.
By using our websites, support forums, and other services, and by opening and clicking on links in our emails, you consent to the placement and use of cookies and other tracking technologies on your device.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”). Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images or small blocks of code that are used for purposes that are similar to the purposes for which cookies are used. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality may be restricted.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons. Some enable a personalized experience for visitors. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, while others may be set when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” button on a post, for example). For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.
Where We Place Cookies
We set cookies on our website and on our support forums.
Types of Cookies
The table below explains the types of cookies we use on our website and support forums and why we use them.
| Category of Cookies | Why We Use These Cookies |
| Essential | These cookies are essential for our website and support forums to perform their basic functions. |
| Analytics, Performance, and Advertising | Analytics, performance, and advertising cookies fall under the category of non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies perform valuable functions for both our users and our company, but they aren’t strictly necessary for the basic features on our site to work properly. For instance, some non-essential cookies collect information on how users interact with our website and support forums, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details for things such as improving how our website and support forums function and understanding how users interact with them. Other non-essential cookies and “pixels” help us to predict the kinds of emails each of our email newsletter subscribers would be most interested in receiving and periodically determine which of our email newsletter subscribers have stopped interacting with our emails so that we can unsubscribe them from certain email lists such as our email newsletter list. Other non-essential cookies help us deliver advertisements. Non-essential cookies include those used by analytics services such as email marketing and website usage tracking services such as ActiveCampaign. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties and used by them to track your online activity. These third parties may also use “pixels” to collect information. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies and “pixels”. |
| Third-Party Embedded Content | We use various third-party applications and services to enhance the experience of website and support forums visitors and to deliver advertisements. These include social media platforms such as Facebook and X (through the use of sharing buttons) and embedded content from Youtube. As a result, cookies may be set by these third parties, and used by them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies and “pixels”. |
