Cookie Information

We make use of cookies and similar technologies to assist with functions such as user authentication, remembering user preferences, understanding how users use the our services, and managing and tracking the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We also may include tracking pixels, which are small graphic images, in our email messages and newsletters to determine whether the messages were opened and if the links were clicked. In some cases, as outlined below, third parties may also get the opportunity to set cookies.

We describe in this document the cookies and similar technologies found on the pages, which may change over time. Please check back here periodically, as we may update this information from time to time.

Functional cookies are necessary to enable portions of the service and its features to work as intended. For example, we use cookies to help recognize and remember you when you are logged in so we can maintain your settings and preferences, such as your language and region or your logged-in state.

You may disable any of these functional cookies as described below; but if you do, various functions of the service may be unavailable to you or may not work as intended.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to help us understand how you use our website, our mobile applications and our desktop clients. By providing us with information about how you interact with the service, these tools help us learn how to make the experience even better and customize our communications with you. On the website, for example, these technologies can tell us things like how you arrived at the site, if you have visited the site before, how long you stay on the site, and which pages you visit. They also provide us with general information about where in the world you may be located. The following analytics technologies are in use:

 

Google Analytics.
To learn more about Google Analytics and your privacy, visit the “How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps” page at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics when using our website, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

Finally, we may use marketing automation services. Such services use cookies to provide us with information on how you interact with our website and marketing emails to help us refine our marketing efforts and provide more relevant information to you.

We collect a unique ad tracking identifier (the Advertising Identifier or “IDFA” on Apple devices and the Google Advertising ID or “AID” on Android devices) from your device. These identifiers are unique to your device, but you can reset them or limit their use through your device settings, as described below. These identifiers do not contain your name or email address. We use these ad tracking identifiers together with our analytics technologies in order to inform our targeted advertising initiatives.

We contract with third-party advertising networks that use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to and actions on certain pages of the platform, your use of the applications, and whether you open certain emails we send you. We do this in order to serve advertisements for relevant products and services to you later, such as when you are on certain third-party sites, and to measure the performance of our messages.

We do not share your personal information (i.e., your name or email address) or Content with a third party as part of this process. You may opt out of these targeting and advertising cookies at any time by visiting the Network Advertising initiative opt-out page, where you can select to opt out of some or all third-party advertising networks.

Our service uses social media features (“Social Features”) provided by companies and services such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn and others to enable you to share information with these channels. The Social Features are identified on our website by our display of the companies’ logos.

We will not transmit information regarding your account contents to such social networks.

You can configure your mobile operating system to limit or prevent the use or tracking of mobile identifiers such as IDFA and AID by toggling the relevant settings on your mobile device’s settings menu.
