Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies, log files embedded scripts, and other similar technologies to collect additional personal information automatically as you interact with the Services and to personalize your experience with our Services. Most Internet browsers transmit certain information to websites that you visit, such as your IP address, device type, screen resolution, operating system version, and internet browser type and version. This information is gathered automatically and stored in log files. We use this information to ensure that the Website functions properly.
Cookies are web text files, containing small amounts of information, that a website or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the website’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information. “First-party cookies” are cookies which are served the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. iFilters and our affiliates’ own cookies are therefore “first-party cookies.” In case we allow others to service cookies through our Services, these cookies are called “third-party cookies.”
You may refuse cookies by activating the setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may not have the same user experience. To learn more about how to manage cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ (please note that this website is not connected to us and we are not responsible for its content).

You always can block or delete cookies by changing your browser settings and force blocking all cookies on our Website. But this will always prompt you to accept/refuse cookies when revisiting our Website.
We may utilize a technology called a “web beacon” or “pixel tag.” We may use web beacons to help determine which email messages sent by us were opened and whether a message was acted upon. Web beacons also help analyze the effectiveness of websites by measuring the number of visitors to a site or how many visitors clicked on key elements of a site.
We may also may use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our Website. We use these tools to gather information about users to help us improve our Services and user experiences. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services and may combine the information they collect about you on our Website with other information they have collected for their own purposes. This Privacy Policy does not cover such uses of data by third parties. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google LLC (“Google”) that tracks and reports on our web traffic.
