3.1 Google Analytics and Google Ads Tracking
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website, including pages visited, traffic sources, browser type, device information, approximate location, and user interactions. Certain landing pages accessed through our advertising campaigns may also include Google Ads conversion tracking to measure advertising effectiveness, conversions, and campaign performance.
These technologies:
- Are activated only after the user provides consent where required by applicable law
- Measure website usage, visitor interactions, traffic sources, advertising effectiveness, conversions, and campaign performance
- May collect information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring URL, pages visited, and actions taken on the website or landing page
- May use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, attribution, conversion measurement, and remarketing purposes where enabled
Data collected through Google Analytics and Google Ads is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. If you accept these cookies, Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy practices. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or the NAI opt-out page.
3.2 Vimeo Embedded Videos
Some pages on this site include videos embedded from Vimeo. We use Vimeo’s privacy-enhanced (“Do Not Track”/DNT) mode to reduce the use of tracking cookies. Vimeo content is not loaded automatically. Videos are displayed in a click-to-play format and are only activated after the user voluntarily clicks to play the video.
Prior to user interaction, no connection is established with Vimeo and no Vimeo cookies are stored on your device. Once a video is activated, a connection to Vimeo’s servers is established and Vimeo may process certain technical information, including your IP address, device information, and browser data. Vimeo may also place cookies or similar technologies necessary for video delivery, security, and functionality.
For more information about Vimeo’s data practices, please review Vimeo’s privacy policy.
3.3 Cloudflare Security Cookies
This website uses Cloudflare, a content delivery network (CDN) and security provider, to improve site performance and protect against malicious traffic and abuse. Cloudflare may place strictly necessary cookies, such as security and bot-management cookies, to distinguish trusted web traffic from automated or harmful activity. These cookies are required for the secure operation of the website and are used for traffic management, and website performance purposes.
4. Legal Basis and Global Compliance
This Cookie Policy is designed to comply with applicable U.S. data protection laws and the EU GDPR (including the ePrivacy Directive) where it applies to visitors from the European Union.
We do not use cookies for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning users.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Use tools such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).
You may withdraw or modify your cookie consent preferences at any time through our cookie preference consent banner. Before you withdraw or modify your cookie preferences, here is what to expect:
- Disabling Functional/External Media cookies and similar technologies may prevent embedded videos from playing and may limit certain interactive features.
- Disabling Marketing & Analytics cookies will not affect core website functionality.
Because strictly necessary cookies are required for core website functionality, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tool.
