6. Traffic Data
"Traffic Data" is collected by the Product and our third-party traffic analysis provider through the use of software that is included on the Product as well as cookies that are stored temporarily on your computer. Together, these technologies help us manage our content by identifying which content is effective.
i. Use of Cookies and Usage Data
Cookies are small data files that are stored on a subscriber’s computer for record- keeping purposes. Cookies track where you travel on the Product and what you look at. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. When you log into the Product, your browser may ask if you want it to remember you as a registered subscriber of the Product. If you accept, the session ID becomes a persistent cookie, which remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Although cookies are used by most major websites and are accepted by default by most web browsers, it may be possible to disable cookies via your browser settings. We use session cookies and usage data to make it possible to navigate the secure environment inside the Product and to keep, and periodically track, information about you for the purpose of creating a personalized web experience and improving the Product or measuring and conveying to others the performance levels of the Product. We may link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on the Product. This is for the purpose of creating a personalized experience within the Product, to assist The Company in understanding its users and subscribers and designing improvements to the Product, and for the purpose of collecting usage and performance metrics.
ii. Online and Mobile Advertising
We may allow third parties to use cookies on the Product to collect the same type of information for the same purposes as we do. Advertisers and advertising networks place advertisements on our websites and mobile applications. These companies as well as data analytics companies who service them may collect information, such as your computer’s IP address, browser information, mobile device ID, and search queries as you use the Product. These companies also may use cookies and other technologies to collect data about you when you visit our Site(s). Cookies from advertising companies enable them to track your activity across various websites where they display advertisements and record and associate your activities, so they can show advertisements that they consider relevant to you. We do not have access to, or control, over the cookies that these third-parties use.
iii. Use of analytics tools
The Product may from time to time implement other third-party analytics services that also use cookies. We will attempt to ensure that no personally identifiable information is included in those cookies. If the use of cookies by any service provider differs materially from the practices already listed, we will revise this document accordingly and notify existing customers/users of the change(s). Other cookies created by the Product are used to secure your login session and to help ensure the security of your account. Such cookies are unrelated to the aforementioned traffic analysis and are never shared with third parties.
iv. Location Data
When you access the Product using a web browser or other application, we may gather and store certain types of information including: traffic data from your browser, your IP address, location, GPS signals sent by a mobile device, cookie information, and the pages you visit on the Product.

You may make changes or corrections to your Personal Information at any time. You may review or update your personal information by clicking 'settings' in your dashboard or in the menu located within your personal profile. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. Unless required by law, we may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical. Where we can provide information access and correction, and when required by law, we will do so for free. However, you must verify all information created from your use of the Product. You are responsible for ensuring the information you have entered into our system is accurate, reliable and complete.
