Overview of Tracking Technologies and Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device when you visit a website. These files help websites function properly by retaining settings, preferences, and tracking your activities.
- Session Cookies: Session cookies are temporary and exist only for the duration of your browsing session. Once you close your browser, these cookies are automatically deleted. They are designed to help websites track and remember activities within a single visit, enhancing the user experience.
- Persistent Cookies: In contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device for a predefined period, even after you close your browser. These cookies are commonly used to retain information like user preferences, and other settings, so you don’t have to re-enter them when you return to the website.
- Web Beacons: Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear gifs, are tiny, invisible images embedded within web pages or emails. These elements allow website owners to track user activity and interactions, such as how often users view certain content, helping to gauge the effectiveness of the content.
- Flash Cookies: Flash cookies, or Local Shared Objects (LSOs), are used to store information related to Flash-based content, including videos or advertisements. Flash cookies help improve the performance and tracking of multimedia content across websites, ensuring smoother user experiences and better content performance.
- Pixels: Pixels, often referred to as tracking tags, are small snippets of code embedded in web pages or emails. When users interact with these pages or open emails containing a pixel, it tracks their activities.
