Policy Description:
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3. Marketing and Targeting Cookies
While the specific names in the sbjs_* group don’t definitively point to third-party marketing, the nature of tracking user journeys is often used for segmentation and targeting. To be safe, any cookie tracking a user’s history and source for more than basic session purposes should be included here, as they are not strictly necessary.
Policy Description (If the sbjs_* cookies are used for marketing/retargeting):
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
