Automated Data Collection Technologies and Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”)
As you navigate and interact with our online services, we may use automated data collection technologies (“ADCT”) to collect certain information about your device and how you interact with our Online Services. Depending on the online service, this may include:
- Technical Data: device and connection data, including IP address, device/browser type and settings, operating system, approximate location derived from IP address, log data (date/time), and diagnostic/performance data (e.g., error reports).
- Usage Data (interaction data): information about how you use and navigate the Online Services, such as pages or features viewed, clicks, scrolling/activity signals, session duration, and referring/exit information.
- Marketing Data: cookie consent and preference signals, and first-party measurement of communications/marketing engagement (e.g., whether an email was opened or a link was clicked where tracking is enabled).
- Identifiers: online identifiers used to recognize a browser or device, such as cookie IDs, and similar unique identifiers.
Why We Collect It
We use ADCT to:
- Operate and secure Online Services (e.g., load balancing, fraud/abuse detection, debugging, and system integrity).
- Measure and improve performance and content (e.g., improve Online Services content, collect and process usage analytics and audience measurement).
- Remember preferences (e.g., language and cookie choices).
- Personalize your experience (e.g., content presentation and saved settings).
Technologies We Use
ADCT may include:
- Cookies (browser cookies): small files stored on your browser that support core functionality (strictly necessary), preferences, performance/analytics, and—in some cases—contextual messaging.
- Local storage and similar technologies: HTML5 local storage, session storage, and similar browser-based storage used for preferences and performance. (We do not use legacy Flash cookies.)
- Pixels, tags, and web beacons: small code or image files that help measure interactions, count visits, and support system integrity. (Email pixels may also be used to measure email engagement for communications effectiveness.)
- SDKs: Our Apps may use SDKs to collect diagnostic and usage information (e.g., crash logs and interaction events) to help us maintain and improve functionality and security. Where available, we enable privacy-protective settings and limit collection consistent with applicable law.
- Session replay/heatmap tools: tools that record interactions to help diagnose issues and improve usability. We configure these tools to avoid capturing sensitive inputs.
- Third-party analytics providers: providers that help us measure usage and improve Online Services. These providers may set cookies/tags and process information such as IP address and activity to provide reports to us. Where available, we enable privacy-protective settings. Please review each provider’s privacy disclosures to learn more and understand available choices.
