What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We may also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different from the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Assisting you in the navigation of our websites;
- Assisting in registration to our events, login, and your ability to provide feedback;
- Analyzing your use of our products, services, or applications to improve them;
- Assisting with our promotional and marketing efforts (including behavioral advertising)
We may also use third-party analytics and marketing services, including Google Analytics, 6sense and Salesforce Marketing Cloud. These services need to place a cookie to function as intended. Alone, cookies cannot identify your personally identifiable information. However, once you choose to provide these details by filling a form or clicking a link in one of our marketing emails or newsletter, this personally identifiable information can be linked to the data collected by the cookie. We do not use cookies to monitor users’ actions elsewhere than on our own website.
