The SUBSCRIBE application uses cookies to enhance the user experience, for example, cookies are used to recognize you when you log in so that you do not have to log in multiple times as you navigate to different pages of the application.
The application also uses cookies to enhance user account security, for example, by sending you a verification code as part of multi-factor authentication and recording your verification so that you do not have to reverify every time you log in. The application also uses cookies to gather statistical data regarding the use of our Upscope widget through the application.
Social media links and sharing content
Social media tools such as widgets and plug-ins are available on our website and can be used to reshare content from the website (such as our YouTube videos) on other websites.
