    Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to our website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, such as the following:

    Web Beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

    Digital Fingerprints involve the collection of a set of features and characteristics from a device (e.g., navigator language, window screen, time zone, location, CPU vendor, memory size, or image). Necessary usage to identify your device characteristics (UID, DoNotTrack Signal, Time zone, and Language) to provide the technical features of our CMP and collect user's cookies preference Analytics and marketing regarding your device and browser used for purposes linked with Google Tag Manager which helps us to better understand user behavior, optimize site performance, deliver targeted advertising, and ultimately improve our services by providing content relevant to your interests.

These are commonly associated with social media widgets such as a 'like' button loading necessary features in our website, such as fonts, webpage layout, videos, and photos, analysis of user experience on our website, providing a better user experience by loading personalized and enhanced content.
