Does Concerto use online tracking technology (i.e., logs and cookies)?

Yes. We, along with third-party service providers acting on our behalf, may use online tools and technologies to collect information when you use our Online Services. Information collected includes device data and online activity.  We use these tools to collect information for debugging, fraud prevention, session management, and other necessary purposes. We also use these tools to personalize your online experience, target advertising, and conduct analytics. We may associate the information collected using online tools with your account.

Technology we may use includes:

  • Server logs. Server logs automatically record information and details about your online interactions with us, including information about your visit to our Online Services on a particular time and day.
  • Cookies. Cookies are small files stored in your web browser by a particular website. Cookies allow websites to store information about your account and preferences and recognize your device during your visit or future visits to the website.  
  • Pixel tags. A pixel tag (AKA web beacon or tag) is a small string of code (or image) that may be placed in a website, advertisement, or email. It allows website owners to set or read cookies or transfer information to their servers when you interact with Online Services.
  • SDKs and mobile advertising IDs. Our mobile apps may include third-party software development kits (“SDKs”) that allow us to collect information about your activity using the mobile app. In addition, some mobile devices include a resettable advertising ID that, like cookies and pixel tags, allow us and our service providers to identify your mobile device for advertising purposes.
  • Third-party plugins. Our Online Services may include plugins from other companies, including social media companies. Third-party plugins are governed by the terms of the companies that created them. These plugins, such as the Facebook “Like” button, may collect information about the pages you visit and share it with the company that created the plugin, even if you do not click on the plugin.

How does Concerto use online tracking technology?

We, and third-party service providers acting on our behalf, may use online tracking technology to conduct personalization, analytics, and targeted advertising on or through the Online Services.

  • Personalization. We may use the information we collect about you online, and may link to information about your account, to customize content and advertisements for our products and services on our own and third-party websites and mobile apps. We may also use online tracking technologies to recognize your device when you’re logged in, in order to enable enhanced features or functionality and improve usability of our Online Services.
  • Analytics. These tracking technologies may be used for data analytics, auditing, research, and reporting on our Online Services and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
  • Targeted advertising. We and our third-party service providers may collect information about your activities using our Online Services and across different websites, mobile apps, and devices over time for targeted advertising purposes. We or our service providers may then show you ads, including across the internet and mobile apps, and other devices, based in part on the information that has been collected.  

Targeted online advertising is different than our general advertising. If you opt out of targeted advertising using your browser or by clicking on the advertising options in the ad, you may still receive our general advertising.  Opting out of online targeted advertising uses information stored in your browser or device and will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. You may need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete your browsing history or cookies, change web browsers, reset your mobile advertising ID, or use a different device, you may need to opt out of online targeted advertising again. 

May you opt out of certain online tracking technologies?

You can manage cookie preferences and opt out of having cookies and other similar collection technologies used by adjusting the settings on your web browser.  If you do not want cookies stored on your computer, you can change the settings on your browser to notify you when a cookie is about to be saved or block cookies entirely.  How to access these settings, which settings are available, and how to turn on these settings varies by browser type and we encourage you to further investigate your browser’s privacy settings if you wish to opt out or adjust these settings in any way.  If you choose to decline or block cookies, you may not be able to fully access all of the interactive features of our Online Services.

You can opt out of a third-party service provider’s use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, or learn more about your choices for limiting or disabling these tools by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

You cannot decline web beacons; however, setting your browser to decline cookies or to prompt you for a response, or installing an ad-blocker, may keep web beacons from tracking your activity.
