USE OF BROWSER-BASED COOKIES, HTML 5 STORAGE, WEB BEACONS AND DO NOT TRACK
CNL uses browser-based, HTTP and/or HTTPS web cookies, which are small text files placed on your computer’s hard drive or mobile device’s on-board storage and subsequently read as you visit a website, as well as web beacons (also known as pixel tags), which are electronic images embedded into a webpage, and HTML5 storage on our website. We may also engage third-party vendors to use these technologies on our behalf.
Web cookies and web beacons are commonly used for record keeping to track your movements when you visit our website and to help CNL and our authorized third-party advertising and/or analytics vendors determine what type of information to present to you. The use of web cookies and web beacons is an industry standard practice used at most websites and can enhance a user’s experience on a website. CNL’s web cookies and web beacons do not contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and do not damage or alter your system files. CNL’s web cookies and/or third-party vendor web cookies are persistent web cookies, which are web cookies that remain within your computer or mobile device over a period of time. Information from a web cookie may be collected and used in aggregate form or, alternatively, data may be collected into an individual profile or record. That individual record may either be unique or anonymous. CNL and/or its third-party vendors may use these profiles in a way for them to be linked with information that identifies you as an individual. The information gathered from web cookies, web beacons and HTML5 storage and reputable third parties may also be used to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
The first time you visit our website via a web browser, CNL assigns you a unique, anonymous ID, which is stored in the cookie file on your computer or mobile device. Although you can choose not to accept cookies through a setting on most browsers (which can also be set to notify you each time a cookie is set), if you choose to refuse cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our website. In addition to CNL creating and placing a HTTP and/or HTTPS cookie on your computer or mobile device, our third-party vendors may also create or place HTTP and/or HTTPS cookies on your computer or mobile device as a result of visiting these third-party sites.
Do Not Track is a voluntary program among Internet advertisers that is intended to give users the ability to opt-out of behavioral targeting and advertising. There are a few ways in which your computer may transmit a “do not track” signal to certain websites and online services you visit. CNL does not honor Do Not Track settings. We may, however, as described above, use the information we collect to present you with content we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not agree with our policy not to honor Do Not Track, your only remedy is to stop using our website.
