Cookies and Similar Technologies

First and Third-Party 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 hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Persistent” or “permanent” cookies remain stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted by you. Local shared 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’re 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 technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with a website. For example, web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In addition, 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 browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are in Use and Why Do We Use Them?

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on the Site and App and store certain information. For example:

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and App and to better understand how they find and use the Site and App. The data collected includes data related to your device/browser, your IP address, and on-site activities to measure and report statistics about user interactions. The information stored is reduced to a random identifier. Any data collected is used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may learn more about Google Analytics by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245. You can learn more about Google’s restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. To opt-out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install the opt-out browser add-on feature. For more details, visit the “Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on” page located at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en.

Other Third-Party Technologies

Some third parties may use automated 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 any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.

Choices About Cookies

Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website technologies. These settings may affect your enjoyment of the full functionality of the Site. In addition, adjusting the cookie settings may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created. To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your cookie settings. Additional information is provided below about how to disable cookies or manage the cookie settings for some of the leading web browsers:

The opt-out preferences described above must be set on each device for which you want them to apply. Not all companies that serve interest-based ads participate in the ad industry opt-out programs described above, so even after opting-out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com

When applicable, we store your Personal Information in accordance with the instructions from our data controller clients.

We may delete your information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of it is contrary to our objectives or legal obligations. When we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law and our policies. We take reasonable steps to delete the Personal Information we collect if your registration to use our Site or App lapses and you opt out of receiving further communications from us, or if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. When we delete data, it will be removed from our active servers and databases, but it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it.

To the extent permitted by law, we may retain and use anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for operational improvement.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We take a number of organizational, technical and physical measures designed to protect the Personal Information we collect, both during transmission and once we receive it.  From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods.  Moreover, we maintain continuous development and maintenance of policies and practices to ensure that Personal Information is handled in strict accordance with applicable law.

We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Information and how we are processing that data. However, no security safeguards are 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Your use of the Site and App is at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that your Personal Information will remain secure in all circumstances. You should also help protect your Personal Information by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing data is completely secure.

We also use reasonable security measures when transmitting personal information to consumers in response to requests under the CCPA. We have implemented reasonable security measures to detect fraudulent identify-verification activity and to prevent the authorized access to or deletion of Personal Information.

If a data breach compromises your Personal Information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.

Verification Process. We are required by law to verify the identities of those who submit Requests to Know or Requests to Delete.

As a part of this process, you will be required to provide your name, email address, address, and/or telephone number. We require different levels of authentication based upon the nature of the Personal Information requested. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.
