What are Cookies?
Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored on your computer (or other internet-enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit a Clarendo website. A cookie contains the name of the website from which it originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., how long it stays on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
What Do We Use Cookies For?
We use cookies to make Clarendo’s websites easier to use and to tailor Clarendo’s websites and our products to your interests and needs. Cookies may also be used to speed up activities on the site and enhance the experience during subsequent visits. We also use cookies to compile anonymously collected statistics that help us understand how our websites are used, which helps us improve their structure and content. We cannot personally identify you based on this information.
What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
Two types of cookies are used on Clarendo’s websites – “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave Clarendo’s website. A persistent cookie stays on your device for much longer or until you manually delete it (how long this cookie remains on your device depends on the “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings).
Some pages you visit may also collect information using pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs”) that may be shared with third parties who directly support our advertising operations and website development. For example, user information from the website about visitors to Clarendo websites may be shared with third-party advertising agencies to develop more targeted ad banners on our websites. This information, however, cannot identify individuals but may be linked to your personal data.
