We and/or our partners use cookies and similar standard web technologies to collect Tag Data, including the following:
Cookies and Local Storage. Cookies and local storage are data files placed within a browser on a device when it is used to visit a website. Both cookies and local storage can be used to store digital identifiers whenever you visit one of our client’s websites. Most browsers provide you with the ability to disable or decline most types of cookies and local storage.
Web Beacons. Web Beacons are small graphic images or other web programming code (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) that are included in our clients’ websites or emails.
Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with a website. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server, is active only while you are connected to the website, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
SDKs and APIs. SDKS and APIs are programming codes that collect information about your interactions with mobile apps and websites. This code is installed on a device, typically within our clients’ applications that you choose to download onto your mobile device.
Signal uses data collected for the Tag Manager Platform for the following purposes:
We may “sell” or “share” your personal information, as these terms are defined in applicable law, as follows:
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of children under the age of eighteen (18) years.
You generally have the ability to accept or decline most types of cookies on our Website. We do not respond to browser Do Not Track requests. Most web browsers give you a choice to modify your browser settings to decline some or all non-necessary cookies. We provide you choices to manage your privacy and selling/sharing in the Cookies Settings section located in the footer of our website. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the site unavailable to you. If you would like more information about cookies, you can visit http://www.cookiecentral.com/n_cookie_faq.htm.
You may opt out of activity-based advertising by following the instructions below for web browsers and mobile apps. Please note that web browsers and mobile apps operate using different identifiers.
