Cookies and Pixels Policy

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 in order 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 also use third party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. A tracking pixel (also known as Web Beacons, Pixel Tabs) is loaded when a user visits a webpage or opens an email. The website adds the tracking pixel using code into the website’s HTML or email. This code contains an external link to the pixel’s server. If a user visits the destination website, the HTML code is processed by the client – usually the user’s browser. The browser follows the link and opens the pixel. This is registered and noted in the server’s log files. In addition, various information about the user is also transmitted using this method. To some extent, combination with JavaScript is necessary in order to collect information about the operating system or browser type.

The following data can be acquired and analyzed with a tracking pixel.

  • Operating system used (gives information on the use of mobile devices)
  • Type of website or email used, for example on mobile or desktop
  • Type of client used, for example a browser or mail program.
  • Client’s screen resolution
  • Time the email was read or website was visited
  • Activities on the website during a session (when using multiple tracking pixels)
  • IP address (gives information on the Internet Service Provider and location)

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
