Cookie policy
We use cookies and web beacons to make interactions with our websites easy, meaningful, and personalized. Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer or mobile device, which enables features and functionality. They are unique to your account or your browser. Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire. You can control the use of cookies within the options functionality of your browser, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our websites.
Widen uses the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly necessary
- Performance
- Advertising
- Web beacons
Strictly necessary cookies: Used on both our websites and within our Services
These cookies enable you to navigate our websites and use their features. If you have chosen to identify yourself to us by signing up for a Service, we may place cookies containing a unique identifier on your browser. These cookies allow us to identify you when you are logged into one of our websites or Services and to process your online transactions and requests.
Performance cookies: Used only on our websites
These cookies allow our websites to remember the information you have entered or the choices you have made and provide you with a more personal experience. These cookies also enable you to optimize your use of our website after you have logged in. Performance cookies improve how our websites function and perform. They enhance and customize your interactions with us, and help us provide you with more relevant messages.
Widen may use third parties to track and analyze the usage and volume of statistical information from website visitors, event attendees, and customers to provide enhanced interactions and more relevant communications, and to track the performance of Widen’s advertisements. Widen’s third-party partners may also utilize HTML5 local storage. HTML local storage is different from browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored.
Advertising cookies: Used only on our websites
We sometimes use cookies delivered by third parties to show you ads for Widen that we think may interest you on any devices you may use and to track the performance of our advertisements. For example, in these cases, cookies remember information such as which browsers have visited our website. The information provided to third parties does not include personal data, but this information may be reassociated with personal data after we receive it.
Widen also contracts with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from web beacons on Widen’s websites, from emails, and on third-party websites. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use, such as a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone, or tablet. You may see these advertisements on other websites or mobile applications on any of your devices. This process helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Web beacons: Used on our websites and within electronic marketing material
Web beacons are used to improve your experience on our websites and within our marketing services, including to help us provide you with content customized to your interests. A web beacon is a clear electronic image that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular website, or interacted with a service tied to the web beacon. For example, they also help us to understand whether users read email messages and click on the links contained within those messages so that we can deliver relevant content and offers.
Do not track
Currently, various browsers — including Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track,” or DNT, option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. Our websites do not collect personal data about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Therefore, DNT signals transmitted from web browsers do not apply and we do not alter any of our data collection and use practices upon receipt of such a signal.
Opt out of cookies
Some people prefer not to allow cookies, which is why most browsers give you the ability to manage cookies to suit you. In some browsers, you can set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, giving you more fine-grained control over your privacy. What this means is that you can disallow cookies from all sites except those that you trust. Some of our Services will not function properly when cookies are disabled.
Policy maintenance
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally as we add new products and services, as we improve our existing products and services, and as technologies and laws change. Any changes will become effective upon our posting of the Privacy Policy.
We will provide notification of a material change to this Privacy Policy through our websites or email at least 30 business days prior to the material change taking effect and, where required by law, we will obtain your consent.
This is the current version of our Privacy Policy, effective September 14, 2021.
