5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies

A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” or “permanent” cookie). “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your device and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Persistent” or “permanent” cookies remain stored on your device until they expire or are deleted by you. Local stored objects (or “flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than that website.

Other Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection and tracking technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons, pixels (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that we may use to collect data as you navigate through and interact with a website. For example, pixels are small images on a web page or in an email that collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies. Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. UTM codes are strings that can appear in a URL when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about your browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent you to the receiving website. By using our Sites or Services you consent to our use of these technologies to collect and share your information.

We use certain cookies and similar technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to operate the Sites and App, to measure and track how you interact with our Sites and App, to ensure the security and privacy of our Sites and App, enable certain functions on the Sites and App, to enhance your experience and provide you with a more personal and interactive experience, to market to you, to send abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences) , to track ad-driven activity, to perform usage analytics, and to otherwise tailor our communications to you.

After visiting our Sites or App, you may see information about our Services on unrelated websites. This may occur as a result of a placement of a cookie or other tracking technology from your past browsing. For example, our advertisers may display targeted advertisements when you visit third-party websites or social networks based on your previous interactions with our Sites as tracked by cookies and similar technologies. This process also helps us understand the effectiveness of our content and marketing efforts.

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Sites may include the following:

How Do Our Advertising and Marketing Partners Use Cookies for Interest-Based Advertising?

We may allow other parties to use cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts and other tracking technologies to automatically collect information about your use of the Sites or App, including your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, conversion information, and other device information. We may also engage other parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics about the use of the Sites or App. This information may be used by us and others, among other things, to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of the Sites and other sites tracked by these other parties. These and other parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Sites or App.

We serve ads on and through another party’s services, such as Facebook and Google, that are targeted to reach people, or people similar to people, who have visited the Sites or App, or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”). This is done by us uploading a customer list to the other party’s service or incorporating a pixel from the other party’s service on the Sites or App, and the other party’s service matching common factors between our data and their data.

We may use third parties such as advertising networks and other content providers to serve targeted ads on the Sites or App, and on other websites like social media sites (e.g. LinkedIn). This practice is referred to as interest-based advertising. These advertising networks and/or content providers may use cookies and similar tracking technologies such as pixels to uniquely distinguish you, your web browser, or your device and report certain information about your visits to our the Sites or App, and other websites (e.g., web pages you visit and your response to ads) in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off the Sites or App, and across your devices, including on social media sites. This information may also be used to evaluate our online advertising campaigns.  

Some third parties may use data collection technologies to collect information from the Sites or App, and combine it with other information they have collected relating to your web browser’s activities across their network of websites, where permitted. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.  

This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, other party’s cookies or other tracking technologies. We encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn more about their privacy practices.

How Can You Opt-Out from Interest-Based Advertising?

Other Third-Party Technologies

Some third parties may use data collection technologies to collect information about you when you browse the Internet. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.
