We have also provided more information about opting out of some functions below called “Your Choices About Disclosure.”
Cookies
A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use both: (1) session cookies, which do not stay on your computer after you close your browser, and (2) persistent cookies, which remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire. . Our Site uses cookies to track your visits through Google Analytics, Google Adwords, and Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with DoubleClick as described in the following paragraphs. You can change your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being sent at any time. We do not use cookies to identify you personally.
Cookies - Google Analytics
The Site sends aggregated, non-Personal Information to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Site’s performance. This cookie allows us to see information on user Site activities including, but not limited to page views, source and time spent on Site. The information is depersonalized and is displayed as numbers, meaning it cannot be tracked by to individuals. This will help protect your privacy. Using Google Analytics, we can see what content is popular on the Site and strive to give you more of the things you enjoy reading and watching.
Google AdWords
Using Google AdWords, we are able to see which pages helped lead to contact form submissions, software downloads, and purchases. This allows us to make better use of our paid search budget.
Remarketing with Google AdWords
We use Remarketing with Google Adwords to advertise online. Third-party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites across the internet. NWPS and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics & Adwords cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick, Criteo, Klaviyo, & Facebook cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our Site.
Email messages to our email accounts
Email addresses sent to our email accounts by non-customers are not added/sold/transferred to any mailing list. At our discretion, we may retain a copy of the received message and our outgoing email message for future reference.
Web Beacons
A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails. We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of our third-party marketing partners may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Site. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information. Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.
Embedded Website Links
Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients. Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
Third Party Websites and Services
We work with a few service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Site and on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Other than as disclosed in this Policy, the Site does not track users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. Therefore, the Site does not operate any differently when it receives Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from your internet web browser.
In addition, we want to provide you with the relevant information that you have requested. If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed. Any transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.
We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information. After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email. Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.
Any such communications you receive from us will be administered in accordance with your preferences and this Policy.
