Thank you for visiting the D. E. Shaw group’s website and viewing this Cookie Notice (this “Notice”). For more

What is a cookie?
A “cookie” is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you access a website.
When you visit our website and agree to have cookies set on your computer or mobile device, basic information
is passively collected through your web browser via such cookies or similar tracking technologies. We explain
why we use cookies further below.
Websites can use different types of cookies including ‘first-’ and ‘third-’ party cookies and session or persistent
cookies. We briefly explain those different types of cookies below:
• First-party cookies are cookies set by the website visited by a user (i.e., the website displayed at the
top of the browser).
• Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by a user. If
you visit a website but another company sets a cookie through that website, it would be a third-party
cookie.
• Session cookies allow websites to link a user’s actions during their browser session. Session cookies
are temporary and remain on your device until you leave the website you are currently visiting.
• Persistent cookies, unlike session cookies, remain on a user’s device in between browser sessions
and remember the user’s actions and preferences on a website or even potentially across different
websites. Persistent cookies may be used to remember your preferences.
