What technologies are used?
Type of technology
CookiesA cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables Versitae features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Versitae sites that display ads, host our plugins.
We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie may help us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to Versitae or interact with our Services without signing in again. A persistent cookie stays in your browser and may be used by Versitae when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our Services (for example, sites that use our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
PixelsA pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We may use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels may also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
Local storage Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the Versitae experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.
Other similar technologies We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.
Our cookie table lists cookies and similar technologies that are used as part of our Services. Please note that the names of cookies and similar technologies may change over time.
What are these technologies used for?
Below we describe the purposes for which we use these technologies.
Purpose
SecurityWe use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure.
For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our policies.
Preferences, features and servicesWe use cookies and similar technologies to enable the functionality of our Services, such as helping you to fill out forms on our Services more easily and providing you with features, insights and customized content in conjunction with our plugins. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences.
For example, cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. We may also use local storage to speed up site functionality.
Customized contentWe use cookies and similar technologies to customize your experience on our Services.
For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search.
AdvertisingCookies and similar technologies help us show relevant advertising to you more effectively, both on and off our Services and to measure the performance of such ads. We may use these technologies to learn whether content has been shown to you or whether someone who was presented with an ad later came back and took an action (e.g., downloaded a white paper or viewed a webinar) on another site. Similarly, our partners or service providers may use these technologies to determine whether we’ve shown an ad or a post and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with ads.
We may also work with our customers and partners to show you an ad on or off Versitae, such as after you’ve visited a customer’s or partner’s site or application. These technologies help us to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners.
For further information regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising purposes, please see our Privacy Policy.
Performance, analytics and researchCookies and similar technologies help us learn more about how well our Services and plugins perform in different locations.
We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our sites or when you access Versitae from other sites, applications or devices. We, or our service providers, use these technologies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off Versitae and to learn whether you have interacted with our websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions.
We also use these technologies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services.
What third parties use these technologies in connection with our Services?
Your choices.You have choices on how Versitae uses cookies and similar technologies. Please note that if you limit the ability of Versitae to set cookies and use similar technologies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it may no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
Some mobile device operating systems such as Android and iOS provide the ability to opt out of the use of mobile advertising IDs for ads personalization. You can learn how to use these controls by visiting the manufacturer’s website for both Android and iOS.
Browser controlsMost browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which may be adapted to reflect your consent to the use of cookies. Further, most browsers also enable you to review and erase cookies, including Versitae cookies. To learn more about browser controls, please consult the documentation that your browser manufacturer provides.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. As such, Versitae does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.
Other helpful resourcesWe adhere to self-regulatory principles for interest-based advertising and participate in industry opt-outs from such ads. This does not opt you out of receiving advertising altogether. You will continue to receive other ads from advertisers not listed with these self-regulatory tools or you may receive ads that are not personalized to you.
