Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Cookies
“Cookies” are small text files that are stored within your device’s
memory by your web browser. Cookies are used to remember a
customer’s activity on a website for later use. They enable a website
such as ours to maintain user session log-ins and keep track of
your activities on that website to improve the individual user
experience, such as by keeping track of your preferences.
Web Tags
“Tags” (e.g. Pixels, Web Beacons, etc.) are small pieces of code that
are used on websites to collect data. When a particular action is
performed on a website, web tags record relevant data and send it to
a third party.
Tags can be used for many different purposes, such as tracking
useful success metrics of an email marketing campaign. They can
also be used to deliver images that are stored on a central asset
server, providing a delightful user experience.
Web tags are commonly confused with cookies. Cookies are used to
remember a customer’s activity on a website that are stored locally on an individual’s browser for later use rather than to send data to
third-party servers.
Categories of Tracking Technologies
We use the following categories of tracking technologies:
Strictly necessary. These Cookies and Tags are needed for the
operation of our Websites and/or Account Services, and cannot be
switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you make to

about these tracking technologies, but as a result, parts of the site
might not work or function as expected. These Cookies or Tags do
not store PII.
Functional. These technologies allow us to recognize
and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors navigate
our Websites and Account Services. This helps us to measure and
improve the way our Websites and Account Services work, for

for easily. They help us to know which pages are the most and least
popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information
these tracking technologies collect is aggregated and therefore
anonymous. If you do not allow these tracking technologies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to
monitor its performance.
Analytical/performance. These technologies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors navigate our Websites and Account Services. This helps us to measure and improve the way our Websites and Account Services work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these tracking technologies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these tracking technologies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Targeting. These tracking technologies record your visit to our
Websites and Account Services, the pages you have visited, and the
links you have followed. They may be set by our advertising partners.
They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your
interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They
are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
If you do not allow these tracking technologies, you will experience
less targeted advertising.
