What Are Trackers?
Trackers are various technologies we employ on our websites and mobile applications. Below, six main types of trackers are outlined. While this list aims to be comprehensive, the types used may vary based on our website and mobile app usage.
a. Cookies
Cookies are small text files sent to or accessed from your web browser or device’s memory. A cookie typically includes the domain it originates from, its lifespan, and a unique number or other identifier. They may also hold data about your device, like user settings, browsing history, and activities conducted while using our Services.
Types of Cookies
- First-party cookies: Set by us or on our behalf, these cookies facilitate website navigation and efficient content loading. They enable our Services to function properly and remember user preferences (like language or text size) set through user profiles.
- Third-party cookies: Set by partners and embedded in our websites, these cookies may also be placed by third parties when you browse our websites and use our mobile apps.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies: These exist only during your visit and expire upon closing your browser.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your browser until a set expiration date or manual deletion. Their lifespan varies based on their purpose.
You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Refusing cookies may impact your experience and limit functionality on our site.
b. Pixel Tags
Also known as web beacons or bugs, pixel tags are tiny transparent images on web pages or messages. They log visits to pages or messages and can read or set cookies. Their effectiveness can be impaired by disabling cookies, but they can still detect page visits.
c. JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language used for writing trackers that measure interaction with our websites and others.
d. SDKs
Software Development Kits, provided by digital vendors, are embedded in our mobile apps to collect and analyze device and user data.
e. Device Identifiers
These unique, user-resettable identifiers, stored on the device, are used for marketing and advertising purposes across apps and devices.
When accessing our websites via mobile devices, we may collect and transmit device IDs and other device information.
f. ID Synching
Our digital and marketing vendors may link data from your browsing or other sources through ID synching for ad targeting. This involves matching tracker IDs with those in other databases, likely associated with you, to determine ad relevance.
