3. COOKIES
When you interact with the Website we strive to make that experience
easy and meaningful. When you come to our Website, our server sends
a cookie to your computer. Cookies are small text files that Web
browsers place on a computer's hard drive and are used to tell us
whether users and visitors have visited the Website previously.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely
recognize your browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself by
signing-up for the Services, you remain anonymous. Cookies come
in two flavors: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist
only during an online session. They disappear from your computer
when you close your browser software or turn off your computer.
Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you've closed your
browser or turned off your computer. They include such information
as a unique identifier for your browser.
Our Website uses session cookies containing encrypted or encoded
information including your username and session ID. This information
allows us to process your online transactions and requests. Session
cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've
logged in and are required in order to use the Services. Our Website
also uses persistent cookies, that only our Website can read and
use, to identify the fact that you are a TrueSwitch user or prior
Website visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful
about the security and confidentiality of the information stored
in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers
or passwords in persistent cookies.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, invisible GIFs,
web bugs, or action tags, may be used to assist in delivering the
cookies on the Website. This technology tells us how many visitors
clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a page. We
do not use this technology to access your personally identifiable
information; it is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics
about Website usage. We may share aggregated Website statistics
with partner companies but do not allow other companies to place
clear gifs on the Website.
Users who disable their Web browsers' ability to accept cookies
will be able to browse the Website but may not be able to successfully
use the Services.
