Web Beacons
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors and members to our Platform. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons [sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”]. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Platform or opened a message that we have sent them. For example, this allows us to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Platform to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Platform from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of inbound and outbound marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies [web beacons] are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
