These Tracking Tools allow the collection of Non-Personal Information (such as pages viewed by you within a certain Service and the duration of the browsing) and PII (such as your login information), including over time and across different properties and devices. Among other things, Tracking Tools can enable Ambar to automatically activate certain features for you, make your experience on the Services simpler, more relevant and more convenient, and provide you with personalized, interest-based advertisements, as further described below. Tracking Tools are used widely across the industry.

Tracking Tools – In General - By accessing the Services, you consent to us setting and accessing Tracking Tools, including cookies, on your device and in the emails we send you, and to tracking your activities and your use of the Services through these Tracking Tools. For clarity, Third Parties do not have access to Tracking Tools set by Ambar on our Services except to the extent necessary to help us provide the Services. Ambar and Third Parties may use the following Tracking Tools:

Cookies: Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website, and may include session cookies (which expire once you close the browser) and/or persistent cookies (which stay on your browser and may be used by the browser on subsequent visits to the Services, unless deleted by you). Among other things, cookies help us make our Services and your experience better. For example, we use cookies to see which parts and features of our Services are popular, count visits to our Services, and improve or tailor the Services and our advertisements to make them more relevant to you. You can turn off your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, but certain parts of the Services may not work for you.

Unique Identifiers: We may use unique identifiers to collect information about your use of the Services on an individual basis, such as length of time spent on a particular page and pages viewed during a particular log-in period. We use this information to evaluate and improve the Services.

Web Beacons: Web beacons, or clear GIFs or pixel tags, are small graphic image files that can be embedded in web pages or emails to collect information about your use of our Services or the correspondences that we send. The information collected by web beacons allows us to analyze how and how many people are using the Services or when you open our emails.

We use this information to improve our Services. These services may use cookies, including first party and third-party cookies, as well as other Tracking Tools. For example, Google Analytics uses cookies to inform, optimize, remarket, and serve ads based on your visits to the Services. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is subject to the Google Analytics’ Terms of Use and Google’s Privacy Policy. You have the option to opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Mobile Device Identifiers: Mobile device identifiers are stored on your mobile device and track how you use the Services through your mobile device. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of Non-Personal Information (such as usage and traffic data). As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help Ambar learn more about your preferences and internet behaviors in order to operate and improve the Services.
