Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We also collect data about your use of the Services through the use of Internet server logs and online
tracking technologies, like cookies and/or tracking pixels.
A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is placed
on your computer when you visit a website, that enables us to:
- (a) recognize your computer;
- (b) store your preferences and settings;
- (c) understand the web pages of the Services you have visited and the referral sites that have led you to
our Services; - (d) enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your inferred interests;
- (e) perform searches and analytics; and
- (f) assist with security administrative functions.
Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique
identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage information
like ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of the Services and associated advertising, and to access
user cookies.
We may also use tracking technologies in our license buttons and/or icons that you can embed on other
sites/services to track the website addresses where they are embedded, gauge user interaction with them, and
determine the number of unique viewers of them.
If you receive email from us (such as the CC newsletter, campaign updates, or other ongoing email
communications from CC), we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture data such as
whether you open our message, click on any links or banners our email contains, or otherwise interact with
what we send. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.
Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to
block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information.
Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings
