This Privacy Policy is part of, and is governed by, the terms and conditions set forth in our Terms of Use located at www.cadentstaging.wpengine.com/terms-conditions-of-use/. Any defined terms not defined herein shall take their meaning from our Terms of Use, unless otherwise stated in this Website Privacy Policy.

We may also use the email address that has been provided to us (e.g., through a marketing sign-up list on our Website, by providing your email address to a salesperson, through a social media platform, signing up to an online event) to send you information about the products and services that Cadent offers (or may offer in the future).

B. Information Automatically Collected Through this Website. We may automatically collect information about you when you use this Website. This information is often considered “pseudonymous data” (as opposed to “personal information”), as this information is typically tied to your computer or other device, rather than identifying you directly.

As such, when you access this Website, we will automatically collect information such as your browser type and version, device and connection information, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet, and standard web log information.

Cookies that are stored by us are called “first-party cookies” and cookies that are stored by third parties (via their own pixel tags) are called “third-party cookies.”

In general, cookies and pixel tags are used for purposes such as remembering your log-in preferences, counting open rates and connecting URL clickthroughs from emails tour Website, analytics, providing targeted or interest-based advertising, and understanding the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (e.g., ads measurement, attribution, fraud detection, brand safety). Cookies generally do not identify you directly but, rather, have a pseudonymous “cookie ID” associated with it (e.g., a random alphanumeric string of characters). However, partners like advertising technology companies may use such cookie IDs and connect it to other identifiers to assist in ad campaigns and related measurement activities.
