Cookies and Tracking

Small files and similar tools

Cookies are small files downloaded to your device. Similar tools include pixels, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technology and logging technology. We and third-party partners use them across our services and communications. Part of what they record identifies you directly, and other parts can identify you once linked with further details.

These tools can record device and browser details, pages viewed, session timing, use patterns and an approximate location based on your IP address. With your consent, they may also show whether you opened an e-mail or selected a link in it.
