2.1 Cookies and tracking technology overview

Wherein we talk about cookies and tracking technology on our websites, we refer to Cookies Flash Cookies Web Beacons Pixels Log files Other Technology

2.1.1. Cookies

A cookie is a tiny file containing an identifier (which is a string of letters and numbers) that is stored on a user's browser and issued to your computer when you enter a website. It stores a small amount of information relating specifically to the client accessing the website. The cookie can be accessed by both the web server and the user's computer. The identifier is sent back to the server every time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies can be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until a set expiry date, unless the user deletes it before the expiry date. A session cookie, however, will expire at the end of the session, when the user closes the web browser, Cookies are used for a wide range of purposes, such as identifying your computer's previous visits to a website, ascertaining the most popular features of a website or enabling a company to present specific information to users. Typically, cookies do not contain any information that would personally identify a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. More information can be found in section 3. How you can control which cookies are set

2.1.2. Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects)

A local shared object, sometimes called a "Flash cookie," is a data file that can be created on your computer by the sites you visit. They are most often used to enhance your web-browsing experience.

2.1.3. Web Beacons

To help us better manage content we employ web beacons in emails that we send to our subscribers. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier and are used to track the online movements of internet users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on websites. We use them in our HTML-based emails to learn which emails have been opened by recipients enabling us to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. You can opt-out of these emails by following the unsubscribe instructions within such marketing emails.

2.1.4. Pixels

A pixel refers to the code that is placed on your computer in order to trigger a cookie. We may use this methodology to allow us to deliver more relevant messages to you.

2.1.5. Log files
