Site tags
Site tags, pixels, or web beacons are transparent pixels that load when a user visits a webpage or views a digital advertisement, and allows the web publisher to understand how a visitor interacts with the page or advertisement.
Statistical IDs
Statistical IDs are used as an alternative to cookies to identify an individual browser or device and are used for analytics and reporting purposes. Any connection to a distinct device becomes obsolete relatively quickly, usually within 30 days.
Mobile applications
Mobile operating systems (e.g. iOS and Android) provide advertising identifiers for individual mobile devices. These are called IDFA (Identifiers for Advertisers) on iOS and GAID (Google Advertising ID) on Android and are used to allow for digital advertising across mobile applications. Settings are managed by your individual mobile device’s iOS.
Mobile location data
Your applications may collect and utilize your location information to improve your usage experience and provide services. You can use your individual mobile application and/or your device settings to control the provision of location-based data to the apps that you use.
Data is retained for a maximum period of 24 months, after which time expired logs are deleted or achieved in an encrypted state in cold storage.
