CARRIER COOKIES POLICY

1        COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

1.1 Cookies

Cookies are small files which are send to and stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data (such as the IP address, domain, referring websites, etc.) specific to a particular user and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the user’s computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next. By using cookies, Carrier can recognize repeat users, facilitate users’ access to the Website, and allow the Website to compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements, etc.

Carrier may also use cookies and similar technologies placed by one of our business or advertising partners to enable Carrier to learn which advertisements bring users to Carrier Websites.

Such cookies can be either:

1.2 Web beacons

A web beacon is usually a pixel on a website that can be used to track whether a user has visited a particular website to deliver targeted advertising. Web beacons are used in combination with cookies, which means that, if you turn off your browser's cookies, the web beacons will not be able to track your activity. The web beacon will still count as a website visit, but your unique information will not be recorded.

Information collected by web beacons may include IP address information (see below). Web beacon information is also used for:

1.3 IP Addresses

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet.

Carrier may collect and keep track of IP addresses to, among other things:

1.4 Logs

Carrier (or third parties on behalf of Carrier) may collect information in the form of log files that are recording Website activities and statistics about web users' habits. Log files are used for internal purposes only. By using log files, Carrier is able to constantly improve and customize our Websites and applications, as well as offer appropriate technical and organizational measures to improve security.

The entries help us gather, among other things:

1.5 Web Fonts

Web fonts are designed to display a certain icon, trademark or logo well across devices, operating systems and browsers, as intended by the designer or owner.

The Web Fonts Carrier is using on its websites are defined by brand guidelines. We use Web Fonts from 3rd parties like Adobe, Google, and Monotype. Google fonts can be downloaded and used on Carrier servers and Adobe and Monotype fonts must be used on these third-party servers.
