WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you visit our website to store a range of information, for example, your language preference, or browser and device you are using to view the website.
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 our website, for our advertising and marketing efforts.
Session cookies expire each time you close your browser and do not remain on your device afterwards. These cookies allow our website to link your actions during a particular browser session.
Persistent cookies will remain on your device for a period of time, and will expire on a set expiration date, or when you delete them manually from your cache. These cookies are stored on your device in between browser sessions and allow your preferences and actions across our website to be remembered.
SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Web beacon is a small, transparent image (also known as “pixel tag”, “web bug”, “GIF”) that contains a unique identifier. It is embedded into a website or an email. When your browser reads the code of the website it communicates with our server in order to display the image and, through this process, we are able to acquire information such as technical specifications of your device, operating systems and settings being used. It can also track your activities during a session. Also, it enables us to recognize when each email was opened, from what IP address and from what device. We use this information to improve our email communication.
Software development kits (SDK) are third-party software development kits that may be installed in our Service. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our Service and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access the Service.

Flash cookie management tools: Adobe.
HTML5 local storage allows information to be stored locally within the browser’s data files and can hold greater amounts of information.
