1. What Are Cookies, Pixels, and Local Storage?‍
Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web. Like many websites, we use cookies to discover how people are using our Platform and to make them work better. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies and other technologies may also be used to measure visitors to the Platform and overall performance, as well as assist us with marketing on other platforms.‍
A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs. By lifespan, a cookie is either a session cookie, which is erased when the user closes the browser, or persistent cookie, which remains on the user’s computer/device for a pre-defined period of time. We use both session and persistent cookies, and enable first and third-party cookies. Session cookies are destroyed when you terminate your browsing session by shutting down your browser. Stored cookies often have a predetermined expiration date after which they disappear from your hard drive. As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either: first-party cookies, which are set by us, or third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page’s domain.
‍
Other similar technologies also measure activity on the Platform. A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. Like most online companies, we use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain web or email content. This helps us measure and improve our Platform and personalize your experience. Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your device. We use local storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with our Platform.‍
