A cookie is a small text file that is placed onto your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, or other electronic device) when you visit our website to store a range of information, such as your language preference or the browser and device you are using to view the website. These cookies are set by us and are known as first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which are cookies from a domain different from our website’s domain, for our advertising and marketing efforts.

Session cookies expire each time you close your browser and do not remain on your device afterward. These cookies allow our website to link your actions during a particular browser session.

Persistent cookies will remain on your device for a period of time and will expire on a set expiration date or when you delete them manually from your cache. These cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions and allow your preferences and actions across our website to be remembered.

In addition to cookies, there are other similar technologies that may be used on the web or in mobile ecosystems.

A web beacon is a small, transparent image (also known as a “pixel tag,” “web bug,” or “GIF”) that contains a unique identifier. It is embedded into a website or an email. When your browser reads the website’s code, it communicates with our server to display the image. Through this process, we can acquire information such as the technical specifications of your device, operating systems, and settings being used. Web beacons can also track your activities during a session. They enable us to recognize when each email was opened, from which IP address, and from which device. We use this information to improve our email communication.

Software development kits (SDKs) are third-party software development kits that may be installed in our mobile applications. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our mobile applications and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access the application.

Local shared objects, commonly called “Flash cookies,” are pieces of data that websites using Adobe Flash may store on a user’s computer to facilitate Flash functionality. We may use Adobe Flash to display graphics, interactive animations, and other enhanced functionality. Local shared objects can track similar parameters to cookies but can also provide information on your use of specific features. For example, if Flash enables video display, we can receive details on how much of the video was watched and when viewing stopped. Flash cookie management tools can be accessed directly via www.adobe.com.

HTML5 local storage allows information to be stored locally within the browser’s data files. HTML5 local storage operates similarly to cookies but can hold larger amounts of information and doesn’t rely on data exchanges with the website’s server.

Fingerprinting is a technique that involves combining a set of information elements to uniquely identify a particular device. These elements include, for example, data from device configuration, CSS information, JavaScript objects, installed fonts, installed plugins within the browser, use of any APIs, HTTP header information, and clock information.

Device Identifiers are unique identifiers, such as Apple’s ID for Advertisers (IDFA) and Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID). These identifiers, stored on your device, are used to recognize you and your devices across different apps and devices for marketing and advertising purposes. You can reset your device identifier or opt out of personalized advertising in your device’s settings.

Social widgets are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with those social media services when you view a web page or a mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget, and are controlled by the third parties.
