This Cookie Policy supplements the information contained in our Privacy Statement and explains how we use cookies and related technologies to manage and provide our Shareforce websites, products and services; collectively referred to as the “Services.”
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer. Pixels are small amounts of code on a web page or in an email that provide a method to deliver content, such as a graphic image on a webpage.
Why do we use Cookies?
Shareforce uses cookies to:
- Help you to access and use the Services;
- Understand how visitors use and engage with our Services;
- Set your preferences;
- Deliver relevant interest-based advertising;
- Understand if you have opened an email and acted upon it; and
- Analyze and improve our Services.
Who sets Cookies on Shareforce?
Cookies are sometimes placed by Shareforce, known as first-party cookies, and sometimes third-party cookies are set by our service providers, such as Google Analytics who provides analytics and interest-based advertising. When third-party cookies are set by service providers, they are providing a service or function to Shareforce, as well as achieving the service provider’s own purposes. Shareforce cannot control how third-party cookies are used. You can review how Google Analytics collects and processes data by visiting: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. If you don’t want Google Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Ad-On by visiting: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
How do I manage my Cookies?
Shareforce has unified our cookie management tool across all Shareforce domains providing users with a central location to manage your cookie preferences. With the exception of “strictly necessary” cookies that are essential for the Services to operate, you will be able to opt-in, opt-out, or adjust your cookie preferences for all other cookie categories. Please note that disabling some cookies may cause certain features of the Services to not function properly. This tool can be accessed by clicking on the Cookie Preferences link (titled Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information for California and Connecticut residents) located in the footer or header of each webpage.
Most web browsers also allow you to delete cookies already placed, which may delete the settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences. You can find instructions to remove any cookies that have been created in the cookie folder of your browser at https://allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.
Do Not Track Signals
“Do Not Track” (DNT) is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want to be tracked. Shareforce responds to DNT signals and respects a user’s track preference expression for client-side events.
Global Privacy Control
Similar to DNT signals, “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) is a privacy preference you can set in your web browser to notify websites that you do not want your Personal Data shared with or sold to independent third-parties without your consent. Shareforce honors GPC in those jurisdictions where its recognition is required by applicable law, such as California and Colorado.
Self-Regulatory programs
Service providers may participate in self-regulatory programs that provide ways to opt out of analytics and interest-based advertising, which you can access at:
- United States: NAI (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) and DAA (http://optout.aboutads.info/)
- Canada: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca/)
- Europe: European Digital Advertising Alliance (http://www.youronlinechoices.com)
Web beacons
Most email clients have settings which allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, which will disable web beacons in the email messages you read.
Mobile Advertising IDs
On mobile devices, advertising IDs provided by the platform may be collected and used similar to cookie IDs. You may use the controls on iOS and Android operating systems that allow you to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising IDs.
What types of Cookies do we use?
Shareforce utilizes four categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies, performance and analytics cookies, as well as targeting and advertising cookies. You can read more about each of these types of cookies and view the cookies within each category that can be found in the Services by clicking on the Cookies Preferences link (titled Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information for California and Connecticut residents) located in the footer or header of each webpage.
