In this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by the EU directive on privacy in electronic communications.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. Cookie files allow the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time.
Most internet browsers support cookie files, but users can configure their browsers to reject certain types or specific cookie files. In addition, users can delete cookie files at any time.

Why Do We Use Cookie Files?
Cookie files provide us with information about your interaction with our content and help us make your visit to our website(s) more convenient for you. For example, some cookie files remember your language or preferences, so you don't have to make that choice again when visiting one of our websites. We also use cookie files for geolocation purposes, allowing us to inform you about the nearest Shell station and office.
In addition, cookie files enable us to provide you with specific content, such as videos, on our websites. We may use information about your behavior on our websites to deliver our targeted advertising materials on third-party websites as part of the "remarketing" of our products and services.

How Are Cookie Files Used for Advertising Purposes?
Cookie files and advertising technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and tags from anonymous advertising networks, allow us to deliver targeted advertising more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research materials, and performance reports for advertisers.
Pixels enable us to understand and improve the delivery of advertising to you and know when specific advertisements were shown to you. As your web browser may request ads and web beacons directly from advertising network servers, these networks may view, edit, or set their own cookie files as if you had requested a web page from their site.
While we do not use cookie files to create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party sites, we use aggregated third-party data to display relevant and interesting advertising to you. We do not provide advertisers with any personally identifiable information collected by us. You can opt out of advertising without specifying the source or by specifying a third party by changing your cookie file settings.This opt-out will not remove ads from the pages you visit, but it will prevent ads you see from being tailored to your interests using these specific cookie files.

How Are Third-Party Cookie Files Used?
For some features on our sites, we use third-party providers, such as when you visit a page that contains embedded videos or links to YouTube. These videos (as well as any other content from third-party providers) may contain third-party cookie files, and to obtain information regarding the privacy policies of these third-party service providers and materials, we recommend visiting their websites, which contain information on the use of their cookie files.
