Jot Tech uses and engages third party service providers who use cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies (collectively “cookies”) on our website. Website servers also automatically collect IP addresses.

 

How We Use Cookies and IP Addresses

Inherent in our website services is the use of cookies and similar tools to support website performance and enhance user experience.

We use cookies and allow certain third parties to place cookies on our website to enable the operation of our website, gather information about your usage pattern as you navigate the website to enhance your experience and to understand usage patterns to improve our website, products, and services.

Cookies that enable the operation of our website include session and persistent cookies.  Session cookies include ones that enable you to log in to your account.  Persistent cookies include ones that remember that you have previously visited and remember your preferences, e.g., if you asked to remain logged into the website.  We also use a cookie to determine if you have read our cookies consent pop up and to ensure we do not show it to you again when you dismiss it.

We use analytical/performance cookies that allow us to count users and understand usage patterns to help us improve how our website works.  Third party service providers may also use cookies to help us to provide and market our Services and to enable us to analyze and research our Services.

 

What technologies are used?

Cookies: A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables Jot Tech features and functionality. Any browser visiting our site may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Jot Tech sites that display ads or that host our plugins or tags.

We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to Jot Tech and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by Jot Tech when you return to one of our sites or visit a third-party site that uses our Services. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

Pixels: A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails.  We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts.  Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

Other similar technologies: We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy.  References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

 

What are these technologies used for?

Below we describe the purposes for which we use these technologies.

Security: We use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure. For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our Terms of Use.

Preferences, features and services: We use cookies and similar technologies to enable the functionality of our Services, such as helping you to fill out forms on our Services more easily and providing you with features, insights and customized content in conjunction with our plugins. We also use these technologies to remember information about your browser and your preferences. For example, cookies can tell us which language you prefer and what your communications preferences are. We may also use local storage to speed up site functionality.

Customized content: We use cookies and similar technologies to customize your experience on our Services. For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search.

Analytics and research: Cookies and similar technologies help us learn more about how well our Services perform in different locations. We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our site or when you access Jot Tech from other applications or devices. We or our service providers, use these technologies to provide aggregated information and measure whether you have interacted with our websites or content and provide analytics based on those interactions.
