What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (“Cookie”). Cookies are used by most websites for security, to learn about and improve upon how users navigate a website, or to enable various features. For example, Cookies can allow the Website to save your password, determine whether it is your first visit to the Website and how long you stayed on each page, determine if you were brought to the Website from another website, and other similar information.

Similar technologies, such as web beacons or pixel tags typically function through the use of small files, such as a GIF or PNG, which are opened on a page, ad, or in an email. The request for these files from a server reveals certain information, such as your browser type, IP address, and other information.

Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons) are electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage information such as ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of the Sites and associated advertising, and to access user Cookies.

We may also use these technologies to collect, analyze, and correlate with other tracking technologies certain information related to the devices you use to access the Sites, such as IP addresses, browser type and version, browser language, OS version, unique device identifiers, and other information about your computer(s) and/or mobile device(s), to the extent made available by your device, OS, or your chosen configuration or choices. In certain cases, these technologies may be used to identify your device or browser through a common process known as "device fingerprinting."

Other tracking technologies also include locally shared objects (also known as “Flash Cookies”), HTML Cookies, or other tracking software that stores data on your device on behalf of third parties. These files may be installed through your browser or other software on your computer that is used by your browser. These files may be installed by us or a third party. To control the storage of data through such software, users may be required to change their preferences in the software itself, through a browser, or through the use of specialized add-ons or plug-ins.

We use Cookies that last for different durations:

• Session Cookies: these are Cookies which last for as long as you keep your web browser open and expire when you close your web browser.
• Persistent Cookies: these are Cookies which stay on your device for a set period of time and expire at a fixed point in time or if you manually delete them from your browser, whichever occurs first.
