Personal information we collect when you visit our websites

SimplrFlex and its partners use cookies or similar technologies on our websites to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

SimplrFlex also gathers certain information about the use of SimplrFlex’s services, including the number of unique visitors, the frequency of visits, how users interact with the sites, user experience preferences, IP address, and other information that may help SimplrFlex improve the user experience, mitigate fraudulent activity, and comply with legal requirements. Such information may include, but is not limited to the following:

Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Third-Party Data Sources

SimplrFlex and its partners use cookies or similar technologies on our websites to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that is managed by your web browser or other application and stored on your local system. SimplrFlex uses session and persistent cookies to, among other things, identify your device during a particular interaction and analyze your behavior during a particular visit. Most web browsers provide you with the ability to accept or decline cookies, as well as to be warned each time a cookie is being sent. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully use SimplrFlex’s services.

Pixel tags

Pixel tags, also known as web beacons, help SimplrFlex better manage user experience and content tracking. Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, which provide a similar function to cookies and are used to track user interaction with content provided by SimplrFlex or an affiliate organization. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s device hard drive, pixel tags are embedded within content. The small size and transparency of pixel tags are not intended to deceive content recipients, but rather minimize distraction.

Do Not Track and Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative, http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/, that has developed a technical “flag” or signal that an end-user may be able to activate within their browser software to notify sites that they do not wish to be “tracked” by third parties as defined by the initiative. The initiative, however, has not reached a consensus as to exactly what technical or other actions those parties receiving the signal should take. As a result, Do-Not-Track has not yet been standardized and most sites, including SimplrFlex sites, do not alter their behavior or change their services when they receive a “do-not-track” flag or signal. You can, however, make decisions about your privacy and the advertisements you receive.

Some of the ads you receive on sites are customized based on predictions about your interests generated from your visits to different sites. This type of ad customization is sometimes called “online behavioral” or “interest-based” advertising. We partner with third-parties to manage our advertising on other sites. Our third-party partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising click here or if you are located in the European Union click here. Please note you will continue to receive generic ads. As an alternative to the opt-out, you can also elect to block all cookies from first parties (such as SimplrFlex) and from third parties (such as entities involved in advertising) by using the cookie blocking options built into your browser software. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can obtain up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:

Please note, however, that if you do decide to block cookies or similar technologies, some parts of SimplrFlex’s sites may not function correctly.
