How We Use Cookies

 We and our service providers use internet server logs, cookies, tags, SDKs, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively referred to as ‘cookies’). We use these technologies in an effort to offer you a more tailored user experience in the future, by understanding and remembering your unique browsing preferences. The list below explains the cookies we use:

• • A web server log is a file where website activity is stored.
  • An SDK is a set of tools and/or code that we embed in our applications and software to allow third parties to collect information about how users interact with the Services.
  • A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site, that enables us to: (1) recognize your computer; (2) store your preferences and settings; (3) understand the web pages of the Services you have visited; (4), enhance your user experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; (5) perform searches and analytics; and (6) assist with security and administrative functions. Some cookies are placed in your browser cache.
  • Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email that are designed to: (1) collect usage information like ad impressions or clicks and email open rates; (2) measure popularity of the Services and associated advertising; and (3) access user cookies.

 To conduct this tracking, our Site may work with third-party products or services (“Service Providers”) to offer and present our Site to you. These Service Providers may include [Google, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, LinkedIn, etc.] and other Service Providers who help us track and analyze our website user activity, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and fundraising efforts, and support the optimization of our digital campaigns.

 Our Service Providers may get more information about your activity on our Site, including pages you visit, access times, visit duration, how you arrived at our Site and your IP address. An IP address is a number that identifies a device connected to the internet. For most devices, the IP address changes on at least a weekly basis. Our Service Providers may also get device identifiers and specific information about the browser you use. In some cases, this information may be unique to you.

 Additionally, our website uses pixels which are HTML code snippets that are loaded when a user visits a website or opens an email. It is useful for tracking user behavior and activity. With a tracking pixel, advertisers can get data for online marketing, web analysis or email marketing. If such data is analyzed in a particular way, the data collected through these pixels can be used for other purposes as well, for example retargeting/behavioral advertising.

 For example, CMU Supply deploys the Facebook Pixel on our website. The Facebook Pixel may enable Facebook to match website visitors with their Facebook User Accounts. You can find out more about how Facebook collects and uses data by clicking here. 

 If you’d like to disable these tracking pixels, there are several ways in which you can prevent your data from being collected by tracking pixels: 

• • Set browser and email settings to be as restrictive as possible such that external graphics are only supported after permission, and HTML emails are not supported. Appropriate firewall settings can also do this.
  • Some browser extensions can be used to make tracking pixels visible (e.g. PixelBlock, uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, etc.).

 Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

 

How do I change my cookie settings?

 Most internet browsers accept cookies by default, but you can change your browser preferences to block or restrict cookies if you do not want your web browsing activity tracked. Please note that some cookies are necessary for our Site to run and, as such, cannot be declined. However, such cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information. If you choose, you may use the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices Tool  to globally opt out of third-party tracking via website cookies. There are also a variety of other tools publicly available to manage cookies and similar technologies that collect information related to your use of our Site. To learn more about cookies and modifying your browser settings related to these cookies you can review guidance from the FTC.
