SMSWEB Cookie Policy

As part of our commitment to providing you with easy-to-understand information, we would like to explain the tracking technologies that we use across our websites and the services we offer to you.

 

What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies?

Typically, there are two types of tracking technologies we might use on our sites:

  1. Cookies: are small data files sent from a server to your web browser or mobile device that is stored on your browser cache or mobile device. There are ways you can control your cookies preferences and set whether you want to accept or reject cookies (see what your options are below).
  2. Clear gifs, web beacons (or tracking beacons), web bugs: These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the movements of web users between pages and websites. Unlike cookies, which are cached on a user’s computer, clear gifs, web beacons, and web bugs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of a single pixel.

 

What do we do with these technologies?

We use these tracking technologies for a few general purposes like:

  1. Allow our sites to function correctly.

  4. We also partner with third-party services who may use various tracking technologies to provide certain services or features on our sites, which can include advertising, interactive content, analytics and on-site messaging. These third-party services use cookies to anonymously collect data and allow them to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit any of our sites. No personally identifiable information is collected by these cookies. The anonymous data they collect is kept separate from the personal information about you as a user that we collect.
