What is a Cookie?

A "cookie" is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on a user's device for use either during a particular browsing session ("session" cookie) or future session ("persistent" cookie). This file may include information about internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), URLs of any referring or exited webpages, operating system, and/or date and time stamps.

i2 Group uses cookies to enable certain website functions, develop web browsing analytics, store and track your preferences, and enable the delivery of advertising and marketing, when applicable. For example, we track the number of “hits” or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the the Site. i2 Group does not sell any of this information to third parties.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Certain features of the Siteuse session, persistent, and flash cookies.

"Session" cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and only last until they expire at the end of your browsing session or after a set time period. The sites's session cookies are set to expire in 48 hours and are required for log in to access secure areas of the Site and to process e-commerce transactions. "Permanent" cookies remain stored on a user's hard drive until they expire or are deleted by a user. We use permanent browser cookies on the Site for log-in purposes and to recover certain preferences set for use by you during repeated visits to the Site. They are set to time out within 6 months.

We use local stored objects (or "flash" cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on the Site. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe's website at: https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help09.html.

Third-Party Cookies

You also may encounter third-party cookies on the Site. Third-Party Cookies are cookies that are stored on your web browser by a party other than i2 Group and may gather browsing activity (such as information you have entered or choices you have made) across numerous websites that you visit and across numerous browsing sessions. These cookies also help improve how the Site and services function and perform, customize your interaction with the Site, and help provide more relevant messaging and marketing communications to you. i2 Group is currently using third-party cookies to track and analyze usage. If you wish to delete Third-Party Cookies, you should adjust your browser settings as described in the "CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION" section of this Policy.

i2 Group also uses third-party ad targeting to display ads for i2 Group programs and services that may be of interest to you and to track the performance of the advertisements. This service can follow users to third-party websites not affiliated with i2 Group and displays ads when users visit those other sites. For example, the Site uses social media cookies to allow you to share content from the Site across your social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you browse the internet while signed into a social network, that network may have the ability to collect information about the websites you are visiting, including ours.

How does i2 Group use cookies?

Like most websites, as you navigate through and interact with the Site, we may passively collect information about your browsing activities using cookies and other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, or web beacons (clear gifs., pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.), to improve website functionality and analytics.

Web beacons: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called "clear GIFs" or "web pixels" with a unique identifier that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.

Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with those social media services when you view a web page or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third-party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.

UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the "Uniform Resource Locator", which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

Application SDKs: These are mobile application third-party software development kits that are embedded in Apps (and are used in may mobile applications). These app SDKs permit the collection of information about the App itself, activity in the App, and the device application on which the App is running.

The aggregate data collected by these passive technologies typically does not target any personally identifying information (PII) or other personal data, but personal information we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies to improve our marketing, analytics, or website functionality.

Location Information

We use tools that prevent us from collecting or maintaining your location information, including Google Analytics Anonymize IP, which interferes with collection and recording of your full IP address and anonymizes your IP address as soon as technically feasible by hiding part of the IP address. To learn more about the tool in use, visit https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=en.

Google Analytics

In addition to cookies, there are other similar technologies used by i2 Group on the Site. These include:

We use Google Analytics and similar technologies (the “Analytics Technologies”) to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and to better understand how they find and use our web pages. This does not include personally identifiable information, nor do we store or associate such analytics with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere. You may learn more about Google Analytics and the performance tracking cookies that it uses by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ as well as Google's restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Other Third-Party Technologies

Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you you browse the internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third-party technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.

Choices about how we use and disclose your information

We provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us and have created ways to give you control over our use of your information. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising. Note that if the user declines the use of cookies, the user may not have access to the full benefits of the Site.

When a user registers with the Site, the Site will prompt the user to confirm whether he or she approves of the use of a cookie. You may adjust your browser settings to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and to only accept "session" cookies, but will need to log in each time you want to enjoy the full functionality of the Site.
