1. Types of Tracking Technologies
What are Cookies?
Cookies, also known as browser cookies and tracking cookies, are small
text files sent to your web browser by a website you visit. Cookies are
created when your browser loads a website with cookies, and those
cookies are then stored in your web browser. Cookies allow us, our
Customers, and our third-party partners to recognize you and to make the
Sites more useful to you. Cookies are not harmful to your computer. To

What are Beacons / Tracking Pixels?
These are tiny transparent images with a unique identifier or scripts,
similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online
movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a
user's computer hard drive, beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages
or in emails. We may use beacons or pixels or to track user's behavior
across websites and devices and in our HTML-based emails to let us know
which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the
effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our
marketing campaigns. We may tie the information gathered by beacons and
pixels to Personal Information.
What are Web Tags?
Web Tags are a type of code (e.g. JavaScript code in a tag manager)
loaded into the web page to enable website features, like the web design
components, or to track user's behavior across websites and devices.
What are Browser Fingerprints?
Browser fingerprints are scripts that collect a set of features and
characteristics from a device (e.g. navigator language, window screen,
time zone, location, CPU vendor, memory size, or image processing) for
several purposes, like enhancing security or adapting the user's
experience on a website.
