2. How does CCP use cookies?

   We use the following specific types of cookies on our Sites:

   • "Strictly necessary cookies": These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Site, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
   • "Analytical/performance cookies": These types of cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Sites when using it. This assists us in improving the way our Site works, for example, by ensuring that you find what you are looking for easily.
   • "Functionality cookies": These are used to recognize you when you return to one of our Sites. They enable us to personalize the Sites’ content and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
   • "Targeting cookies": These cookies record your visits to our Sites, the individual pages visited and the links followed. If the cookie is set by a third party (for example, an advertising network) which also monitors traffic on our Sites, this type of cookies may also be used to track your movements across different websites and to create profiles of your general online behavior. Information collected by tracking cookies is commonly used to serve users with targeted online advertising.

   We use these cookies to collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and Site usage, which may be stored with an IP address, including details of:

   • transactions you carry out through our Sites;

   Some of CCP’s business partners show our advertisements on sites across the internet. In connection with these advertisements and our Sites, we may use certain web analytics services provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") and other partners. Web analytics help us understand how users use our Site and help us advertise online. Such services include, but are not limited to, "Remarketing with Google Analytics" and "Google Display Network Impression Reporting".

   To facilitate these web analytics, we often use cookies. Specifically, CCP and its business partners, including Google, use analytical and targeting cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie and the DoubleClick cookie) to:

   • inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our Sites; and
   • report on how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Sites.

   Please note that third parties, such as advertisers, may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

The processing of your personal data through these types of cookies is based on CCP’s legitimate interests of operating secure websites.

   The analytical/performance cookies, functionality cookies and targeting cookies are however not necessary in order for CCP to provide services on the Sites.
