In addition to cookies, ArtStep may employ other tracking technologies on our Website to enhance your browsing experience and improve our services. These may include:
- 1. Web Beacons: Also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags," these are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that function similarly to cookies. We may use web beacons in our HTML-based emails to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.
- 2. Embedded Scripts: These are programming codes designed to collect information about your interactions with the Website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third-party service provider and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Website.
- 3. Browser Fingerprinting: This technique involves collecting and analyzing information about your browser and device settings to create a unique "fingerprint" for tracking purposes.
How to Control Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
