PAG (“PAG”, “our”, “us”, or “we”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Cookie Notice explains how we use such cookies and related technologies on the Sites, their purposes, and how you can control them.

1. What are Cookies?

A “cookie” is a text file that websites or applications send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser and store information or settings on that computer or device. A “web beacon”, also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. We refer to all of these and similar technologies as “Cookies” for purposes of this Cookie Notice (as applicable). Cookies that are set by us are called first party Cookies.

We also use third party Cookies, which are Cookies set by a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting or a domain we are not operating – for example to analyse traffic to, and observe metrics and behaviour on, our Sites.

3. What Cookies do we use?

Our Sites use two types of Cookies: persistent and session cookies.
