Types of cookies and technologies Cooley uses

We may use any or all of the technologies listed below on our websites and in our emails.

Cookies

A cookie is a very small text file that may be placed on your browser or in storage on your device. There are two types: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.”

• Session cookies disappear from your device or browser when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies stay on your device even after you close your browser.

Please note that Cooley and third-party service providers may set cookies on our websites – these “third-party cookies” are set by domains other than those we control, and they may recognize your device across different websites.

Pixel tags

A pixel tag is a single pixel, transparent GIF image with a unique identifier that can recognize certain types of data on your device (similar to cookies). Pixel tags are used to operate and improve the websites and our email practices, including to help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and email campaign effectiveness.

For example, we may put pixel tags on emails to understand how you interact with that email, including whether you opened the email, whether you forwarded it, whether you clicked on a link in the email that directed you to our websites, etc. These pixels also may collect the time, location and operating system of the device you use to read the email.

Other similar technologies

We use may other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags, HTML5 local storage/local shared objects (which store relevant data locally on your device), for similar purposes as described in this cookie notice.
