Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser as you browse the internet. They can be used to collect, store, and share data about your activities across websites, including on J3. Cookies also allow us to remember things about your visits to J3, and to make the site easier to use.
We use both session cookies, which expire after a short time or when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored in your browser for a set period of time. We use session cookies to identify you during a single browsing session, like when you log into J3. We use persistent cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period, like when you request that we keep you signed in.
Why does J3 use cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies and similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, or local shared objects (“flash cookies”), to deliver, measure, and improve our services in various ways. We use these cookies both when you visit our site and services through a browser and through our mobile app. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional data through other methods.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
| Authentication and security | To log you into J3 To protect your security To help detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate J3’s agreements |
|---|
For example, cookies help authenticate your access to J3 and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your accounts.
| Preferences | To remember data about your browser and your preferences To remember your settings and other choices you’ve made |
|---|
For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or the country you’re in, so we can provide content in your preferred language without asking each time you visit.
| Analytics and research | To help us improve and understand how people use J3 |
|---|
For example, cookies help us test different versions of J3 to see which features or content users prefer, web beacons help us determine which email messages are opened, and cookies help us see how you interact with J3, like the links you click on.
We also work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics, who use cookies and similar technologies to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the sites from which you arrive. Those service providers may either collect that data themselves or we may disclose it to them.
What are my privacy options?
You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:
– Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to decline cookies by consulting your browser’s support articles. If you decide to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customize, or use some interactive features in the Services.
– Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, so your browser’s cookie-management tools may not remove them. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, see Adobe’s article on managing flash cookies and Website Storage Settings panel.
– For general information about targeting cookies and how to disable them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
– Updates & Contact Info
