(d) Cookies. When you visit the Service, Jovio may send one or more cookies (small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer that uniquely identify your browser and enhance your navigation within the Service. A cookie may also convey information to Jovio about how you use the Service (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take), and allow Jovio or Jovio’s third-party business associates to track your usage of the Service. There are at least two different types of cookies: persistent and session cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions for removal of cookies. A session cookie is temporary and is deleted after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

(f) Clear GIFs/Web Beacons. Clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) allow for the tracking of a user’s response to an email or usage of a website in a manner that does not reveal personally-identifiable information. Jovio may use clear GIFs or similar technologies to assess responses to emails and usage of the Service.

(b) Targeted Advertising. Jovio uses third-party audience data from Google Analytics such as age, gender and interests to gain a better understanding of its users and their interests. Jovio may also work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to your interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain ads within the Service or other websites or resources because Jovio uses services from Google and other similar companies to target our ads based upon information Jovio or such service providers have collected, including information that was collected through automated means (such as cookies and web beacons). These service providers also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on Jovio ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of Jovio’s marketing efforts. You can learn more about targeted ads and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering targeted ads to your browser or device by visiting https://adssettings.google.com/, http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and http://optout.aboutads.info/. You should be aware that even if you opt out of targeted ads, you may still see ads within the Service, although the ads may not be tailored to your interests.
(c) Do Not Track. At this time, Jovio does not recognize “do not track” signals sent from web browsers. Third-party services that Jovio uses may collect personal information about individual users and their activities over time and across different websites. In some cases, you may be able to disable tracking mechanisms, but doing so may disable certain features of the Service. To disable tracking, please consult the documentation for your browser, operating system or device. For some devices, it may not be possible to disable tracking mechanisms. Certain Analytics Tools used by Jovio in connection with the Service may provide you with the means to opt out of certain forms of tracking, as discussed in the pages linked below.
