SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY‍

We use other data collecting technologies with similar functionality as Cookies, including pixels, local storage, and device identifiers.

  • Pixels – A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification that typically works in conjunction with Cookies to identify our users and record user behaviour. As many services do, we use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain web or email content. This helps us measure and improve our services and personalize your experience.
  • Local Storage – Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage, including HTML5, to customize what we show you based on your content consumption and other past interactions with the Services.
  • Device Identifiers – We also use mobile device and advertising identifiers for the same purposes articulated in this policy, for example to recognise your device when you return to the Websites or otherwise use the Websites.
  • Software Development Kits (“SDKs”)– We may use third parties including our service providers and business partners who use mobile SDKs to collect information to recognize your device when you return to the Websites. We may use this technology, for instance, to analyse how you interact with the Websites, including content and advertisements, and to enable analytics or other features through mobile devices.
