Terms that are capitalized but not defined in this Cookie Policy will have the meanings given to them in our Privacy Notice.

1. “Cookies” Explained and Why They are Used

We or authorized third parties may collect certain information by automated means using cookies (which are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device that are set by us or by third parties when you visit a website or other online service) and a range of similar technologies, such as web beacons, local or web storage, and embedded scripts, as described below (which we will refer to all such technologies collectively as, “Cookies”).

• Web Beacons: Web beacons, or “clear gifs,” and single-pixel tags/gifs, or web tags, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier placed on a website or in an email that gathers information about your interaction with that website or email. Because of their small size, they are not visible.
• Local or Web Storage: Local or web storage refers to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored. It includes both your own device storage and browser cache.
• Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with our Services, such as the links you click. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device, is active only while you are connected to our Services and is deactivated or deleted after you are no longer connected.

Cookies collect information such as Usage Data, and are designed to gather information about your interaction with a website or email, such as, the pages visited, links you clicked and/or whether or not an email was opened. Cassidy uses Cookies for purposes such as to provide content or features on our Services, to help us remember you and your preferences, and improve your user experience by making our Services more efficient and relevant to you. Cookies may also be used for targeted advertising purposes. You can find more information about Cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Session and Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies - A session Cookie is temporary and enables you to move from page to page on our Services and allows information that you enter to be remembered. A session Cookie is deleted when you close your browser or after a short time.
• Persistent Cookies - A persistent Cookie stays in your browser and will be read by us when you return. A persistent Cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it is easier for you to return and interact with our Services.

• Third-party Cookies - Third-party Cookies are created by domains that are not the website (or domain) that you are visiting. These are usually placed on a website through adding scripts or tags. A third-party Cookie is accessible on any website that loads the third-party server’s code.
