Content testing
If we are working on updates to our site, we occasionally display original content to some visitors and alternate content to other visitors to help us assess which version best optimizes user experience. When we do this, we drop a cookie on your device to remember which version of the page you were served.
Surveys
We sometimes ask our visitors to complete optional surveys about our site or our goods and services. When we do this, we drop a cookie to remember not to send you the same survey again if you later re-visit our site.
Advertising and campaign cookies
Social media and other advertising cookies
Sometimes we pair up with social media partners such as Facebook or with online advertising platforms who drop cookies on your device when you visit our site in order to remember that you have looked at our site/expressed an interest in our products ("Third-party cookies"). This means that when you later visit these third-party sites or visit a site which has agreed to host adverts for our online advertising platform, the adverts displayed to you are more tailored to your apparent interests. If you click on these adverts, they will re-direct you back to our site.
Our third-party partners may pass us information about the total number of views, shares, and click-throughs these adverts have received. The third parties’ use of your information, including their deployment of cookies and tracking technologies, is subject to the third party’s privacy policy, not ours.
Conversion tracking
In order to see how successfully our marketing campaigns or other website goals are performing we sometimes use conversion pixels, which fire a short line of code to tell us when you have clicked on a particular button on our website or reached a particular page (e.g. a thank you page once you have completed the procedure for subscribing to one of our services or have completed one of our forms).
Unless otherwise specified the above cookies remain when you close your browser.
