Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies

The SMART MESSENGER Website uses “cookie” and “web beacon” technology.  “Cookies” are short pieces of data generated by a web server that a website stores on a user’s computer.  Certain pages on our Website may require the use of a cookie for purposes of keeping information you enter on multiple pages together.  Cookies also enable us to collect certain non-identifiable information and customize our Website and offerings to your needs and provide you with a better online experience with us. 

For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on SMART MESSENGER Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable.  This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data" and SMART MESSENGER, its partners, affiliates, or others on SMART MESSENGER' behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service. 

In addition, cookies are used to:

●     measure usage of various pages on our Website to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access;

●     identify and categorized the internet webpages from which the visitor came to the Website and observe their browsing patterns; and

●     provide functionality such as online orders, SMART MESSENGER’ Services and other functions that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies.    Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you leave the Website.  Persistent cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them.  Cookies do not, under ordinary circumstances, corrupt or damage your computer, programs, or computer files.

Web beacons are used in combination with cookies to help website operators understand how visitors interact with their websites. A web beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site. As opposed to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. These web beacons are not tied to personally identifiable information. The use of a web beacons allows the site to measure the actions of the visitor opening the page that contains the web beacon. It makes it easier to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of pages visited at a website.  SMART MESSENGER may use the information provided by web beacons to develop a better understanding of how the Website’s users use the Website, and to facilitate those users’ interactions with the Website.  SMART MESSENGER may make the aggregate data obtained from web analytics (including from our third party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally identifying information or potentially-personally identifying information.

Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-personally identifiable information such as click-stream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies through your web browser.
