3. Why do we use cookies?
Cookies are used for a variety of reasons, from making a website function more efficiently, to recognising a user’s device and tailoring that user’s experience to fit prior preferences. Cookies can also provide the owners of a site valuable information about how that site is being used. We use cookies to help us better understand user behaviour, by telling us which parts of our website people have visited so that we can facilitate and measure the effectiveness of web searches. We also use cookies to remember personal information when a user fills out a form. This allows us to provide you the convenience of prefilling out some of fields on the form on your next visit.
Cookies often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your computer, but it can contain other information as well, such as anonymized Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit websites, operating systems, date/time stamp and clickstream data from our YouTube videos.
In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the DistributionNOW website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page of our website. We track the click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to receive these communications, we do provide an unsubscribe link on all email communications that you can manage your subscription.
