What is a Cookie? A cookie is a small file, or files on your computer, phone, or other devices with a browser to save snippets of text for reference by the website you are visiting. All cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser:
Session cookies – these are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. For example, we use session cookies to grant access to multiple pieces of content. Persistent cookies – these usually have an expiration date and so stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. For example, we use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so that we can improve the site for our visitors and provide relevant content in the future.
Zenger Folkman and our analytics provider use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts, to analyze trends, administer the website, track visitors’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our visitor base as a whole. We receive reports based on the use of these technologies on an individual and aggregated basis. Visitor usage data is anonymous unless certain actions have taken place on our website, such as form submission. These actions allow our application to connect cookie data to a personal contact profile.
Visitors can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of our website may be limited.
