What are cookies? And why do they matter?
Cookies are the small pieces of data stored in text files on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are stored by the site you are visiting (known as “first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as those who provide content, advertising, or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
First-party cookies may be set by the site you visit (for example, remembering your preferences or tracking site visits). In contrast, third-party cookies may be assigned by advertisers and other content providers. Cookies ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform essential functions, such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. They also may be used to help advertisers deliver ads that are more relevant to you based on your browsing history. Cookies may be persistent (remain on your device for a specified period of time) or session-based (will remain active only until you close your browser).
A website or an HTML email may also contain “pixels” or “web beacons.” These tiny, transparent images give us information about your interactions with our website or email, similar to cookies. Web beacons and pixels are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your computer in the same way. Therefore, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality may be restricted.

Cookies are stored on the visitor’s computer, allowing us to collect data about your interactions with our websites and landing pages. These interactions can include the pages you visit or your actions (for example, clicking the CTA “Talk to Sales” button on a page or a post). Sometimes, we set cookies when a page is loaded or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the CTA “Download” button on a page or a post, for example).
