Performance cookies

We use analytical cookies to understand how visitors use our website and to monitor its performance. This helps us provide a high-quality experience by tailoring our content and quickly identifying and resolving issues. For example, we may use performance cookies to track which pages are most popular, determine which navigation pathways are most effective or understand why certain pages generate errors. We may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services that are most relevant to you based on your website usage. Neither we nor our providers link the information collected by these cookies to your personal information.

Functionality cookies

We use functionality cookies to provide certain features. For example, for remembering choices you make (such as your username, language or region) or recognizing the platform from which you access the site. These cookies help us offer enhanced, more personalized functionality. They are not used to track your browsing on other websites.

Targeting cookies

Targeting (or advertising) cookies collect information about your browsing habits to deliver advertising tailored to you and your interests. They are used by third-party services such as Like or Share buttons. AddThis cookies are another example. Third parties provide these services in exchange for knowing you have visited our site. When you use LinkedIn, Twitter or other sharing buttons, you are redirected to a page controlled by those companies, which may place cookies (including targeting cookies) and you will be subject to their respective cookie policies.

Use of IP addresses and web logs

We may use your IP address and browser type to help diagnose server issues, administer the website and improve our services. An IP address is a numerical code assigned to your computer on the Internet. Your IP address may also be used to gather general demographic information. We may perform IP lookups to determine the domain you are coming from (e.g., google.com) to better understand our users’ demographics. Information collected through these tools is not combined with data from other sources and cannot be used to identify you.

Tracking pixels in HTML emails and webinars

Our marketing emails contain a unique campaign-specific tracking pixel that tells us whether an email has been opened and, together with other technology, tracks clicks on links within the email. We may use this information for various purposes, such as determining which emails interest you most or asking users who do not open our emails whether they wish to continue receiving them. The pixel is deleted when you delete the email. If you do not want the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should avoid clicking the links we send. This information may be linked to your personal identity.
