How We Use Cookies:
When you access our Site, we, or companies we hire to track how our website is used, may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer. We and our service providers also use cookies to customize the Services, content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time. Most browsers support cookies, but you can set your browser to decline them and can delete them whenever you like. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Site, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can obtain more information about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
What Types of Cookies We Use:
We may use the following types of cookies to provide our Site and Services:
Functionality Cookies, which include preference and user experience related cookies, are used to provide services or to remember choices you make so we can personalize our content for you (for example, by remembering your username, choice of language, schedule preferences). Our use of Functionality Cookies includes remembering preferences you have chosen to customize your experience of our Site or providing live chat functionality to you across our Websites through Intercom, ZenDesk or other similar services. These cookies last until removed by your browser.
Analytical Cookies are used to analyze user activity in order to improve the Site and Services. For example, we can use Analytical Cookies to look at the use of different sections of the Site and Services and aggregate patterns based on actions that you might perform.

We also use Testing and Performance Improvement Cookies to improve the performance and reliability of our Site.
Marketing Cookies may be used from third-party service providers such as Google and Facebook for marketing purposes. Marketing Cookies allow us to display promotional material to you on other sites you visit across the Internet. We may also share information about your behavior on the Site with third parties (including operators of third-party websites and/or social networking sites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you.
Opting Out of Cookie Usage:
If you want to control which cookies you accept, you can configure your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a cookie is offered by a website's server. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser option so that you will not receive cookies and you can also delete existing cookies from your browser. You may find that some parts of the site will not function properly if you have refused cookies. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some features of the Site and Services.

Aggregated Personal Information:
In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, Johto often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the personal information and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and Johto may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. Johto may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
How We Protect Your Information:

You may update, correct, or delete your account information and preferences at any time by accessing your account settings page on the Service. Please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so. If we receive a request under this provision, we will acknowledge it within seventy-two (72) business hours and handle it in most cases within thirty (30) days.
