We use the term "cookies" in this Policy to refer to website cookies and also to similar technologies that may collect information automatically when you visit the Spider Strategies Sites (such as pixel tags and web beacons).

A cookie is a small text file that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. This small text file may include a unique identifier that distinguishes your computer or mobile device from other devices. Cookies serve a number of purposes such as letting you navigate between webpages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience.

They can also help to ensure that content we display, advertisements you see online, and marketing messages are more relevant to you and your interests.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies." These exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies." These cookies survive after your browser is closed until a defined expiration date. They can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
We and others may also use other technologies for tracking, such as pixel tags and web beacons. Web beacons and pixel tags are electronic images that may be used on Spider Strategies Sites or in our emails. We use web beacons, for example, to deliver cookies, to count visits, to understand usage of the Spider Strategies Sites and Spider Strategies' services, to analyze the effectiveness of Spider Strategies Site features and campaigns, and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Spider Strategies may also use email tracking technologies to monitor the success of email campaigns it operates (for example, recording how many emails in a campaign were opened). If you do not want us to track emails we send you, some email services let you change your display to turn off HTML or disable download of images and exercising these rights should effectively disable our email tracking. In addition, you may also unsubscribe from our marketing emails as described in those emails.
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Since uniform standards for "Do Not Track" signals have not been adopted, the Spider Strategies Sites do not currently process or respond to "Do Not Track" signals. To learn more about "Do Not Track", please visit "All About Do Not Track" (http://www.allaboutdnt.com/). In addition to "Do Not Track", there are many ways that web browser signals and similar mechanisms can indicate your tracking choices, and we may not be aware of nor honor every mechanism.
