emPerform Website Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the emPerform Website uses Cookies and similar technologies to recognize when you visit the Website and when you use our subscription Service. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your right to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on to your computer by websites that you visit. They are used to make websites work, to improve efficiency of websites, to improve the user’s experience and to provide usage information on websites. This information should make your website visits more productive by storing and using information on your website preferences and habits.
Cookies provide a convenience feature to save you time, or tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page on a website. For example, if you fill out a form on our Website or subscribe to receive communications, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized features.
Cookies set by the Website owner (in this case, CRGroup/emPerform) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use Cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites and Subscription Service. For example, CRGroup/emPerform keeps track of the Websites and pages you visit within the emPerform and affiliate company (CRGroup, and Quisitive) websites, in order to determine what portion of the Websites are the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions within the emPerformWebsite to visitors whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
