You will be asked to provide clear and unequivocal affirmative consent to the collection, processing and sharing of your information via cookies and similar technologies. Upon login to a Site we ask any visitor to tell us if he or she is contacting us from the EU so that we may provide appropriate protection and treatment of your user information consistent with the GDRP. Please click here to help us do that. If you do not give us the permission we request, then your use of a Site will be restricted to areas that do not require login information to access. You can withdraw your consent at any time, but this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing of information you provided prior to your withdrawal, or conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
In addition, if you are an EU resident you have the right to review, update, correct or delete information we have collected about you from our records at no cost to you. We will respond to your request within 30 days. To do so please contact our Customer Service department. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority at any time.
