Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the Site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the Site, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
There are two broad types of cookies – “first party cookies” and “third party cookies”:
•   First party cookies are cookies that are served directly by the website operator to your computer, and are often used to recognize your computer when it revisits that website and to remember your preferences as you browse the website. Basically, these are our cookies.
•   Third party cookies are served by a service provider on behalf of the website operator, and can be used by the service provider to recognize your computer when you visit other web sites. Third party cookies are most commonly used for website analytics or advertising purposes.
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our Site may no longer be fully accessible. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.
Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the Sharing Personal Information for Behavioral Advertising section above.  
Do Not Track
Our Site may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some web browsers or operating systems permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities (also known as Global Privacy Controls), which involves changing a setting in your browser. This means it is not specific to Indique and will not be undone when you clear cookies. Where required by law, we honor “Do Not Track” signals as valid opt-out mechanisms. With regard to “do not track” settings, please note:
•   You will need to take this same action for all browsers that you use where you do not want Indique or similar services to collect your data.
•   The “do not track” setting is respected by Indique but not all other tracking services do the same.
•   Enabling the “do not track” browser setting may also block some other non-similar services.
•   This setting will not be affected by deleting cookies.
•   The “do not track” setting does not work in all browsers and may be impacted by future browser updates. If in doubt, check back here for updates.
Changes to Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
