1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or online platform or service. The cookies Zilliant uses are set by Zilliant or by third parties and provide content or features on our Services. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.

In addition to cookies, we use other technologies that are similar in function to cookies, such as pixel tags, also called web beacons or single-pixel gifs, and local or web storage used in desktop software or mobile devices.

• Web Beacons: Web beacons, or “clear gifs,” single-pixel tags, or web tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier placed on a website or in an email that gather information about your interaction with a website or email. Because of their small size, web beacons are not visible.
• Local or Web Storage: Local or web storage refers to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored. It includes both your own device storage and browser cache.
• Flash Cookies: Flash cookies, also known as local shared objects, are commonly used for advertisements and videos and collect and store information about your use of a website and its video or advertising features.

We’ll use the term cookie throughout this Cookie Notice to cover all of these technologies.

Types of Cookies

Cookies are often described by who created and placed them and how long they last. Types of cookies generally include the following:

• Session Cookies: A session cookie is temporary and is deleted when you close your browser or after a short period of time.  This type of cookie enables you to move from page to page on our Services and allows information that you enter to be remembered during your visit.
• Persistent Cookies: A persistent cookie stays in your browser even after you navigate away from the Services or close your browser and remains until a specified expiration date or until you manually delete them.  A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it is easier for you to return and interact with our Services.

• First-party cookies: These are cookies set by the website or online service you are visiting, either by us, or by a third party at our request.
• Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are set by a party other than the party whose website or service you are visiting.

5. YOUR CHOICES

You can exercise your preferences in relation to cookies served on our Services by taking the steps outlined below.

To learn more about how to manage cookies and opt-out of cookies being placed on your device, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html.

Browser Settings

You may alter the cookie settings in your browser settings at any time. You may accept all, or certain, cookies. If you do disable cookies in your browser settings, you may find that certain sections of the Services will not work.

• First-Party Cookies: If you do not want cookies placed on your device, you can adjust the settings of your Internet browser to reject some or all cookies and to alert you when a cookie is placed on your device. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” settings). While adjusting your browser settings can prevent the future placement of cookies, it does not remove existing persistent cookies.
• Third-Party Cookies: Modern browsers also allow you to block third-party cookies using the steps described above for first-party cookies.

Preferences Tools

There are several services available that can assist you with managing your cookie preferences, including industry groups, standards associations and tools provided by the cookie providers and social media sites. Please note that Zilliant has no affiliation with, and is not responsible for, the below third-party websites.

• Google Analytics: You may download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Online Advertising: You may choose not to receive interest-based advertising. You may use the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) consumer choice tools to apply opt-outs to interest-based advertising and other applicable uses of web-viewing data by DAA participating companies by visiting http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN#completed. You may also manage your settings through the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) opt-out tool at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
• Do Not Track: You may turn on the Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting in your browser, which will enable your browser to send a special signal to websites, analytics companies, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. To turn on your DNT signal, please visit  https://allaboutdnt.com/#adjust-settings. Not all companies will respond to or honor DNT signals.  Note that the Zilliant Services do not respond to DNT signals.
• Social Media Buttons: With respect to social media “share” buttons, many of these social media sites handle tracking differently depending on whether or not a user is logged in and the preferences selected by users. If you use a social media service and want to protect your browsing privacy, we recommend that you adjust your individual settings for each third-party social media company with whom you have an account, so as to minimize cross-site tracking.

• Web Beacons and Pixels: You may avoid web beacons and pixels by disabling the functionality that allows remote images to load in your email account and by refraining from clicking on links in email messages.
