MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Adobe and its vendors use cookies and similar technologies to improve your
experience and measure your interactions with our websites, products and
services. We also use them to provide you more relevant information in searches
and in ads on this and other sites. If that’s okay, click “Enable all". Clicking

GENERAL INFORMATION

 * You are in control of your data.
   
   You can control how Adobe websites use cookies and similar technologies by
   making choices below. But note that if you disable cookies and similar
   technologies entirely, Adobe websites may not function properly.

 * What are cookies and why does Adobe use them?
   
   Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use
   websites. There are also other technologies that can be used for similar
   purposes like HTML5 Local Storage and local shared objects, web beacons, and
   embedded scripts. These technologies help us do things like remembering you
   and your preferences when you return to our sites, measure how you use the
   website, conduct market research, and gather information about the ads you
   see and interact with.

 * How do I make choices?
   
   You can make choices in the menu below about what cookies and other
   technologies you want us to use on Adobe sites when you visit them from this
   browser. You can always change those choices later by clicking on the Cookie
   Preferences link at the bottom of the page.




IF ENABLED:

 * We can improve your experience by tailoring the site and the content to
   things we think might be of interest
 * We can better keep track of your preferences — like what language you prefer
   to use
 * We will better understand your likely interests so we can provide you more
   relevant Adobe ads and content on non-Adobe websites and in non-Adobe apps
 * It will help us improve the performance of our website and those of our
   partners who use the Adobe Experience Cloud


IF DISABLED:

 * We won’t be able to remember you from session to session so the experience
   may not be tailored to your interests
 * You’ll still have access to the content of the site but certain features that
   depend on cookies may not function
 * You’ll still see ads, they just may not be as relevant to you
