We use Analytics cookies, Persistent Cookies, Session cookies, and Third Party Cookies. There are four categories of cookies used on the Websites as detailed below.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Analytics Cookies | Analytics cookies collect non-personal information in the form of various usage and user metrics when you use with our Websites and Services. These tracking technologies collect and analyze certain types of information, including onsite behavior and usage information, feature use metrics and statistics, usage and purchase history, MAC address, internet protocol (IP) addresses, operating system, browser type, locale and language preferences, as well as date/time stamp, referral and exit pages, identification numbers associated with your devices, mobile unique device ID, and other similar information. |
| Persistent Cookies | Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising. |
| Session Cookies | Session cookies allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They can be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies. |
| Third Party Cookies | Third Party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. This means that if you visit Adeptec’s website and a separate company has set a cookie through our website, then this will be considered a third party cookie. |
