Information Collection & Use
To help explain our data practices as clearly as possible we have devised user data into two separate categories.
Passive Data
As a standard practice, in order to provide our subscribers with the best possible user experience we collect passive user data automatically. Passive data is typically used to automatically respond to user interactions during a web session, identify browser compatibility issues, technical errors and help drive technological improvements to our user interface/websites.
Passive user data usually consists of various identifiers such as browser type, device type, operating system, region, language preferences and servers. Passive data is aggregated through the use of session ID and tracking cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's device for record-keeping purposes. To track sessions, a web session ID is stored in a visitor's browser. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. Tracking cookies may remain on your device/browser for an extended period of time. Since tracking cookies data doesn't change, these tracking cookies will not interfere with your browser, device or user experience.
Accepting cookies will give the user best experience while browsing the website using any of the customer interface tools and requesting assistance with any of the product offerings.
Declining cookies could potentially interfere with your use of the site and all that the service has to offer. For example, Cookies enable the website to recognize your device and the browser being used and automatically optimize the website and the subscriber interface to ensure you are not presented with a version of the website and subscriber interface that is incompatible with your device and browser.
You are free to decline cookies by changing your browser settings to block/reject all cookies or cookies from the website. Please kindly note when using multiple devices, if you do choose to opt out of passive data tracking you must restrict the use of cookies on each and every device separately.
