BCon websites or its third-party tools use cookies. A cookie is a small text file that can be stored on and accessed from your device when you visit one of BCon’s websites. It monitors your website activity and enables us to collect information about how you use the sites.

 

2. How do our sites use cookies?

We use cookies to (i) provide products and services that you request and to provide a secure online environment, (ii) manage our marketing relationships, (iii) give a better online experience and track website performance and (iv) help us make our website more relevant to you.

Below are the explanations for the purpose of each cookie:

  1. Providing requested products or services and a secure online environment
    Some cookies are necessary to allow us to operate our sites so you may access them as you requested and our websites are secured (strictly necessary cookies).
    These essential cookies, for example,
    • recognize that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access site contents and
    • maintain online security and protect against online fraud
  2. Marketing relationship management
    Our third-party service providers may set cookies before you reach our site to analyze how our sites are used and how they are performing (analytical cookies). These cookies track, for example, what pages are most frequently visited and from what locations our visitors come from. If you wish to prevent this type of cookie, you may do so through your device’s browser security settings.
  3. Better online experience and tracking website performance
    Some cookies let us operate our websites in accordance with the choices you make, make our online services easier to use and help us to understand how people use our websites (functionality cookies). These cookies permit us to "remember" you in-between visits. For instance, we will recognize your user name and remember how you customized our websites and services, for example by adjusting text size, fonts, languages and other parts of web pages that are alterable, and we will provide you with the same customizations during future visits.
  4. Making our websites more relevant to you
    Some cookies enable us to customize your online experience based upon your individual circumstances and activities during previous visits to our websites (targeting cookies). These cookies are used to deliver contents that best suits you and your interests. They can be used for advertising, offers or measuring the effectiveness of a promotional campaign. If you decline the cookies, we will not be able to tailor your experience. Also, our service providers may use cookies on our websites for the same purposes identified above, including collecting information about your online activities over time and across different websites. The third-party service providers that generate these cookies, such as Adobe, Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook, have their own privacy policies, and may use their cookies to target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to our websites. We do not control these cookies so if you would like more information about them or information on how to opt out, please see their individual Privacy and/or Cookie Policy.
