  We and our third party partners use Local Shared Objects (Flash cookies) and Local Storage (HTML5) to provide certain features on our websites, to display advertising based on your web browsing activities, and/or to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5. To manage Flash cookies, please click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

  We provide market research analysis data to our Reward Partners and Marketing Partners on the effectiveness of their websites and advertisements. We do not tie the information gathered by tracking cookies on the effectiveness of websites and advertisements to our Members’ PII.

  Our tracking cookies do not track Members who are at or below specific years of age, as indicated in the terms and conditions document.

  We partner with third parties to display advertising on our websites or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partner may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on our websites and other sites to provide you advertising based on your browsing activities and interests.

  If you delete cookies on your browser after opting out, you will have to opt- out again. You can opt-out of the provision of data from our data partners to us, and out of receiving advanced cookies on your computer by clicking on "My Account" to update your preferences.

  If a cookie is received by a Member directly from a third party, regardless of the Member's participation in the Dynata programme, opting out with Dynata will not prevent the Member from receiving that third party's cookie.

  Third Party use of Links: If another person uses your computer login, you should inform them if you have agreed to accept the tracking cookie on the computer as part of your profile, and if that person links to certain online advertisements, then the information may be captured by Dynata.

• C. Clear Gifs / Web Beacons / Web Bugs
   

  Our third party tracking utility partner employs a software technology called clear gifs (also known as web beacons or web bugs), that informs us what content is effective and helping us improve Members’ sites. Clear gifs are tiny graphics which contain unique identifiers that function similar to cookies and are used to track the online Member movements on Websites. In contrast to cookies which are stored on a Member’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on webpages.
