What are cookies?
Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your browsing device (such as a computer or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies can be recognized by the website that downloaded them or other websites that use the same cookies. This helps websites know if the browsing device has visited them before.

What are web beacons?
Some of our web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes also called clear gifs or pixel tags). Web beacons are usually a small image located on a webpage or email that you are viewing. The request your Internet-connected device makes to fetch the image from the server/computer it is stored on is recorded and provides us with information such as the IP address of the computer wanting to view the image, the time the image was viewed, and the type of browser viewing the image. This information is available to any website you visit. For example, we are able to use it to help us deliver cookies, count visits, prevent fraud and to tell if an email or advertisement has been opened and acted upon. In short, cookies work together with web beacons to accomplish the functions and purposes described herein.

What are cookies used for?
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like helping us understand how our website is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies can also help ensure advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. What types of cookies does NextC use? The types of cookies used on most websites can generally be put into one of the following categories: strictly necessary, analytics, functionality, advertising, social media and fraud prevention. In order to provide you with the best browsing experience, NextC and our third party partners may use cookies from all of these categories. You can find out more about the cookies we use from each of the categories in the table below.

Third Party Cookies
Cookies that are placed on your browsing device by a third party while you are viewing our website and applications may be managed through your browser settings (as described above), by selecting the Do Not Track option on your browser (though we have no control over and cannot confirm whether these third party ad networks respond to the Do Not Track browser signal), or by checking the third party’s website for more information about cookie management and how to “opt-out” of receiving cookies from them. For example, some of the third party cookies placed through our site are from Google, including an analytics cookie and an advertising cookie. You can opt-out of these cookies directly with Google. Opt-out information for Google cookies is available here. We may use third party analytics data to inform and optimize our advertising campaigns based on a user’s prior visits to our websites. Third party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve our advertisements to you based on your past visits to our websites and these may be served to you when you visit non-NextC sites. We also partner with third party companies for fraud detection and prevention services, which collects information from our Services and users’ devices in order to provide fraud detection and prevention services to NextC. We allow third party partners and other advertising networks to deliver cookies or use similar tracking technologies when you are viewing our website and applications or ads on our Services, to provide targeted content and advertising, to identify you and contact you across multiple devices, perform analytics and monitor the success of our advertising campaigns, and other similar purposes. As noted above, if you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to: (i) notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject cookies. Blocking or deleting cookies may negatively impact your experience using the Service, as some features and services on our Service may not work properly.

Summary This cookie policy explains what cookies are and how we use them on our services through our websites, as well as our products and applications (including NextC’s mobile applications, downloadable products and applications and pages operated by NextC on social networking sites and other platforms) (collectively, the “Services”). It also explains how we use other technologies for purposes that are similar to our use of cookies. We encourage you to read the full policy so that you can understand what information is collected by us through cookies and how that information is used.
