This policy tells you more about Tracking Technologies and how we use them in our Services.
If you do not consent to the use of these Tracking Technologies, please disable them by following the 'opt-out' links provided below or by changing your browser settings so that cookies from the Platform cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device (see Controlling and Disabling Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies).

What are Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
In order to personalize your experience on the social network, we use Tracking Technologies, including cookies, pixel tags, web beacons and similar files or technologies to collect and store information about your computer, device, and your interactions with the Platform.
For instance, we use cookies when you are logged in to the Platform to make sure that access to restricted features of the Platform are only available to registered members. We also use cookies when you visit the Platform as a non-member, as well, to understand and improve the platform performance for everyone.
A cookie is a small text file which includes a unique identifier that is sent by a web server to the browser on your computer, mobile phone or any other internet enabled device when you visit an on-line website. Cookies and similar technologies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to collect information about your online preferences.
Some of our website pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (also known as clear gifs, tags or pixels) that allow us to count users who have visited our pages. Web beacons collect only limited information, e.g. a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. We may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers. These beacons do not carry any information that could directly identify you.
We also include web beacons in e-mail messages or newsletters to track whether you open the messages. We use this information to customize our services and measure the overall effectiveness of our online content, advertising campaigns, and products and services we offer through the Platform.
How do we use Cookies and other Tracking Technologies?
We use cookies and other tracking technologies to customize content and advertising, provide social media features and to see how our visitors move through our website. We use this information to make decisions about ways to improve the services we offer you.
We may engage third party tracking and advertising providers such as those named below to act on our behalf to track and analyze your usage of our website through the use of cookies. These third parties collect, and share with us, usage information about visits to our website and, sometimes by correlating this information with other information (e.g. your IP address), measure and research the effectiveness of our advertisements, track page usage, help us target our recommendations and advertising, and track use of our recommendations and advertisements.
| Cookie Type | What these cookies do |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | These cookies are essential to the functioning of the Platform, to provide a service requested by you or to comply with the law (e.g. the security requirements of data protection law). They enable users to move around our website and allow us to recognize a user within our website so that we can provide them with the service they asked for such as remembering the user's sign-in details. |
| Functionality cookies | These cookies help us customize our website content based on a user's preferences. They remember the user's choices, their language, the country pages visited and any changes the user makes to text size or other parts of our website pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track browsing activity on other websites. |
| Targeting/Advertising cookies |
We may use other cookies to target and re-target visitors to our websites with digital advertising that is most relevant to the user. These cookies are also used to limit the number of times you see an advert or particular content, as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising or marketing campaign. Using existing cookies from many sites already on your computer, we partner with Third Party Sites to deliver advertising. For more information about digital advertising visit AdChoices at: www.youradchoices.com. We advertise the Platform on Facebook, Bing, Quora, Taboola, Twitter, Google Search and Display, StackAdapt, Zeeto, Alta, and OutBrain (referred to here as Third Party Site) to help let other people with this condition learn about the Platform. To ensure we better reach Third Party Site members with our advertising, we use the Third Party webite's advertising pixel on the Platform, such as the Meta Pixel. These Third Party websites do not have access to any of the information you share on the Platform and do not post to their Third Party websites. The links below will allow you to learn more about the Third Party website's cookies: |
