  1. Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on your web browser and then retrieve at a later time. We may use cookies to enable us to remember your password, track the portions of the Site you visit, help us identify the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for your needs, and to help us identify other products or services that may be of interest to you or others. While we use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit, we do not use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after you leave our Site. There are products commercially available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note that if you choose to use them, we will not be able to provide you with personalized service, and it may result in certain features and services not being available to you.

We use the following cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are needed for the operation of our Site.

Analytical/performance cookies. These are cookies that allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to our Site and to see how visitors move around our Site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Site works.

Functionality cookies. These are cookies that are used to recognize you when you return to our Site. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences.

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Site and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Our Service Providers

Additionally, our Site also works with third-party products or services (“Service Providers”) to offer and present our website to you. These Service Providers may include Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and other Service Providers who help us track and analyze our Site user activity, measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts, and support the optimization of our digital campaigns.

Our Service Providers may get more information about your activity on our Site, including pages you visit, access times, visit duration, how you arrived at our Site and your IP address. An IP address is a number that identifies a device connected to the internet. For most devices, the IP address changes on at least a weekly basis. Our Service Providers may also get device identifiers and specific information about the browser you use. In some cases, this information may be unique to you.

Pixels

Additionally, our Site uses pixels which are HTML code snippets that are loaded when a user visits a website or opens an email. It is useful for tracking user behavior and activity. With a tracking pixel, advertisers can get data for online marketing, web analysis or email marketing. If such data is analyzed in a particular way, the data collected through these pixels can be used for other purposes as well, for example retargeting/behavioral advertising.

For example, PIPER deploys the Facebook Pixel on our website. The Facebook Pixel may enable Facebook to match website visitors with their Facebook User Accounts. You can find out more about how Facebook collects and uses data by clicking here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/meta-pixel/#meta-pixel.

If you’d like to disable these tracking pixels, there are a number of ways in which you can prevent your data from being collected by tracking pixels:

  • Set browser and email settings to be as restrictive as possible such that external graphics are only supported after permission, and HTML emails are not supported. Appropriate firewall settings can also do this.
  • Some browser extensions can be used to make tracking pixels visible (e.g. PixelBlock, uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, etc.).

For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational website http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

You can opt out of specific third-party targeted advertising by visiting the settings pages of those third parties, such as:

  • FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads
  • GOOGLE: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/anonymous

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

How do I change my cookie settings?

Most internet browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change your browser preferences to block or restrict cookies if you do not want your web browsing activity tracked. Please note that some cookies are necessary for our Site to run and, as such, cannot be declined. If you choose, you may use the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices Tool https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN to globally opt out of third-party tracking via website cookies. There are also a variety of other tools publicly available to manage cookies and similar technologies that collect information related to your use of our Site. To learn more about cookies and modifying your browser settings related to these cookies you can review guidance from the Federal Trade Commission https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-protect-your-privacy-online.

We are not responsible for the effectiveness or compliance of third-party opt-out mechanisms or programs. Please note that if you remove your cookies or upgrade your browser after having opted out, you will need to opt out again. Your opt out is specific to the browser you are using and the device you use to access the Site. Therefore, if you use multiple browsers or devices you will need to opt out on each browser or device. You can access the information on our Site without enabling cookies in your browser, but disabling cookies may result in a diminished ability to take advantage of the services and related informational content on our Site.

CHILD PRIVACY

Our terms and conditions of use require that any registration may only be made by those age 16 or older and that any product or service purchases may only be made by those age 16 or older. If we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a child under the age of 16, PIPER will not collect the information without parental consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child’s participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other purpose. We recognize that protecting children’s identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.
