Cookies and Other Technologies

We use service providers to collect usage analytics and to set and track cookies on our behalf. Pages on the Site may contain tracking codes, sometimes called single-pixel gifs that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver requested marketing related communications. An example of this is the Google Analytics tracking code which is in active use on the Site. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help the Site analyze how you use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google in aggregate form. Google uses this aggregated information on our behalf in order to evaluate use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity and other services relating to Site activity and usage.

SentryOne, or our service providers, may also include tracking codes in email messages in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon. Tracking codes are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about the Site and email usage distributed from the SentryOne system. Tracking codes collect a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, a description of the page on, a GUID, and other behavior-based website metrics. These tracking codes also provide information that can be used to aggregate segments of users for the purpose of remarketing.

A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Site page, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.

Cookies further allow us to present to you the information that will most likely appeal to you based on your activity and preferences.

  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
  8. Comply with a legal obligation; or
