Use of Cookies
ConcernCenter, or its third-party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information using various technologies, including "cookies". A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a website can transfer to a customer's hard drive through the customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on the customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by ConcernCenter or its third-party vendors. The customer can set its browser to notify the customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. The customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some websites may not then work properly.
-
Use of Web Beacon Technologies
ConcernCenter may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its website(s) to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the website, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by ConcernCenter or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If the customer does not want cookie information to be associated with the customer's visits to these pages, the customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
-
Collection of Non-Identifiable Information
ConcernCenter may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the ConcernCenter Website(s) to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on ConcernCenter Website(s); website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." ConcernCenter or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
