1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are important to the proper functioning of the Website and the Application and are used to distinguish you from other visitors to the Website and users of the Application, respectively, in order to remember your preferences, create a personalized user experience, understand Website and Application usage patterns, or for marketing purposes. Other tracking technologies include web beacons, Java Scripts, entity tags, and HTML5 local storage.
Cookies – Cookies are small data files that are sent from a website's server and are stored on your device either for only the duration of your visit or for a fixed period. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server.
Web Beacons – Web beacons are small, transparent images that are embedded in web pages, applications, and emails that are sometimes called "clear gifs," "single pixel gifs", "page tags" or "web bugs." We use web beacons to track the web pages you visit and to test the effectiveness of marketing activities, and to find out if an email has been opened and acted on.
JavaScript – JavaScript are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components.
Entity Tags -- Entity Tags are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of websites to be stored or "cached" within your browser and validates these caches when the website is opened, accelerating website performance since the web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed.
HTML5 Local Storage – HTML5 local storage allows data from websites to be stored or "cached" within your browser to store and retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.
2. Do You Have to Allow Cookies?
No, you can refuse Cookies at any time (see number 6 and 7). However, if you disable Cookies, please note that the Website and/or Application may not load or may not load completely, and you may not be able to use it or may only be able to use it to a limited extent.
3. Are There Key Terms to Know?
Yes, there is certain terminology that is helpful for you to understand in order to make informed decisions about Cookie usage. This includes first- and third-party Cookies and session and persistent Cookies.
First- and third-party Cookies: Whether a Cookie is "first" or "third" party refers to the domain setting the Cookie. This means that a first-party Cookie is a Cookie set by the operator of the website or application being accessed by the user (such as a Cookie set by the Website and the Application, respectively). Third-party Cookies are Cookies set by a domain other than the website or application you are visiting, such as by an analytics provider present on the Website. When you use the Website and/or Application, third parties may be allowed to collect device and usage data and location data across your different devices through mobile software development kits. Third-party-Cookies may include the different types of Cookies described below.
Session and persistent Cookies: Session Cookies are temporary Cookies that allow a website operator to understand actions taken on a website while a browser session is open. These Cookies are deleted once the browser is closed. Persistent Cookies, in contrast, remain on a visitor's browser or hard drive for the duration of time specified as that Cookie's expiration date.
