Company websites, online platforms, interactive applications, email communications, and advertisements may incorporate technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons. These tools help us gain a deeper understanding of user behavior, identify which sections of our sites visitors interact with, and evaluate the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. Information gathered through cookies and similar technologies is treated as non-personal data. However, if local laws consider Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers as personal data, we handle them accordingly. Similarly, if non-personal data is combined with personal information, the resulting data is treated as personal in line with our Privacy Policy.
Advertisements served through our Company’s advertising platform may appear in services like the App Store or News. If you prefer not to receive interest-based ads from our platform, you can activate the “Limit Ad Tracking” feature. This setting ensures your Company ID does not receive targeted ads, regardless of the device being used. Enabling this feature on mobile devices also prevents third-party apps from utilizing the Advertising Identifier to show interest-based ads. However, contextual ads, such as those based on search queries or content being viewed, may still appear in certain services like News or the App Store.
Company and its partners may also use cookies and other technologies to store personal information when you interact with our websites, services, or applications. These technologies aim to enhance and personalize your experience. For example, knowing your first name allows us to greet you personally on subsequent visits to the online store. Information such as your country, language preferences, and professional details (e.g., if you’re an educator) helps us tailor services to your needs. Additionally, insights about your shopping or service usage enable us to deliver more relevant advertisements and communication. Access to contact details, device information, and hardware identifiers also allows us to personalize features like your operating system, set up services such as iCloud, and improve customer support.

Like most online services, we automatically collect certain information and store it in log files. This data may include IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP) details, referring and exit pages, operating system, timestamp information, and clickstream data. We use this data to identify trends, manage our sites, analyze user behavior, improve our products and services, and gather demographic insights about our audience. This information may also support marketing and advertising efforts.
Some email messages contain “click-through URLs” that direct users to specific content on our website via a separate server. This tracking allows us to gauge interest in particular topics and evaluate the effectiveness of communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, avoid clicking these links in emails. Additionally, pixel tags in emails allow us to send messages in a readable format and track whether emails have been opened. This data helps refine our communication strategies, ensuring fewer unnecessary messages are sent.
