Cookies

We collect information using "cookie" technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer's or mobile device’s hard drive (or other storage medium) so that your computer or device will "remember" information about your visit. We use both first and third-party session cookies and persistent cookies.

In some cases, we may associate information that you have provided to us (e.g., email address) with the cookies that we use. In addition to facilitating the purposes described above, this is useful in understanding your engagement with other content related to our Website or other Suburban websites or platforms (e.g., email open rates, URL click-throughs).

These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help collect, analyze, and provide us reports or other data.

By accessing and using our Website or other Suburban websites or platforms, you consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

In particular, e-mail sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
