Cookies

A cookie is a small text file, typically containing identifiers, that a web server places on your computer or device when your browser accesses a website. Cookies store data specific to a business or website and are designed to create a record of or “remember” online activity. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies for a number of different purposes. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide certain device and other analytical information. Some cookies are necessary to ensure the website functions properly and some enable us to deliver an individualized online service experience.
 

Similar Technologies

There are a variety of similar technologies that serve a similar function to cookies and may be used in conjunction or as an alternative to cookies. For example, local storage allows data to be stored locally on your browser or device and includes HTML5 local storage and browser cache. Web beacons are tags (typically small images) on a webpage or in an email. Web beacons collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies or similar identifiers. They may also be referred to as pixel tags. Device information, such as your IP Address and browser type, can also be used to help identify an individual over time. These technologies vary in implementation, but they all help companies remember you over time.
 

Third-Party Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be served by the entity that operates the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by other companies (third-party cookies). For example, we partner with third-party analytics providers, which set cookies when you visit our websites. This helps us understand how you are using our services so that we can improve them. These third parties set the cookies or similar technology and collect information according to their own terms and privacy statements. In some cases, we may act as the third party for other companies for the purposes listed below. We use Google Analytics 360, including Google Tag Manager and Google Ads. If you would like to learn more about Google Analytics, or opt out of this data collection and sharing activity, please use this link: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
 

Mobile Apps

Mobile devices offer a similar functionality to cookies, called Software Developer Kits or SDKs. This is code that a third party includes in an app that helps identify users over time and offers similar functionality to cookies. It’s commonly used for analytics, security, debugging, improving the functionality of the mobile app, and advertising. We or our partners may employ SDKs on mobile apps for the purposes described below. Modern mobile devices include options to limit the use of certain personal information for targeted advertising. You can learn more about those options by consulting your mobile operating system and looking for settings relating to your mobile advertising identifier.
