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:
- Recognize your computer;
- Store your preferences and settings;
- Understand the web pages of the Services you have visited and the referral sites that have led you to
our Services;
- Enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your inferred interests;
- Perform searches and analytics;
- 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
