What Are Cookies?

Cookies refer to small text files that are either sent to or accessed from your web browser or the memory of your device. These files usually include the domain name (the Internet location) that issued the cookie, the duration of its validity (i.e., when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or a similar identifier. In addition, cookies may store information about your device, such as user preferences, browsing history, and activities performed while using our services.

Different types of Cookies:

  • First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

In the realm of cookies, it’s important to differentiate between first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are directly placed on your device by us. For instance, we utilize first-party cookies to customize our website according to your browser’s language preferences and to gain a better understanding of how you interact with our website. On the other hand, third-party cookies are installed on your device by our partners and service providers. Further information about these partners and service providers can be found on our website and through our in-app consent management tools. To explore the specifics of these tools, please refer to the section titled “How can you control cookies?” below.

  • Understanding Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be categorized as either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. We employ session cookies for various purposes, including studying your website usage within a single browser session and facilitating a more streamlined browsing experience. Conversely, persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and extend beyond the current session. They are utilized to enable swift sign-in to our website, support analytical efforts, and serve other specified purposes, as outlined below.

Additional Tracking Technologies: Web Beacons and SDKs

In addition to cookies, there are other tracking technologies employed for similar purposes. These include web beacons (also known as pixels, tags, or clear gifs), tracking URLs, and software development kits (SDKs). These technologies serve comparable functions to cookies.

Here’s a brief explanation of each:

  • Web Beacons: Web beacons are minuscule graphic files that contain a unique identifier. They enable us to identify when someone has visited our service or opened an email that we have sent to them.
  • Tracking URLs: Tracking URLs are customized links generated to provide insights into the origin of the traffic directed to our webpages. They assist us in understanding the sources of website visits.
  • Software Development Kits (SDKs): SDKs are small sections of code embedded within apps. Similar to cookies and web beacons, they facilitate various functionalities and tracking capabilities.
