Cookies and Similar Technologies

(a) Cookies and How We Use Them

    • This Website (like many other websites) uses certain industry-standard technologies, including cookies and similarly functional technologies, which we describe below.
    • We may work with third parties to provide or enhance our services (e.g. for purposes of tailoring ads, or placing browser cookies), or to offer marketers ways to access or use our Information, often in de-identified or “pseudonymous” form. These partners may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your device, which may have cookies with varying expiration periods. Those partners may likewise collect various types of information about your browser, device, or browsing activities through use of these cookies.
    • Cookies, in turn, are small data files that contain a string of characters, such as a unique browser identifier. Cookies are stored on your computer or other device and act as tags that identify your device. Our (or other companies’) servers send your device a cookie when you visit a website. A pixel tag (also commonly known as a web beacon or clear GIF) is an invisible 1 x 1 pixel that is placed on certain web pages. When you access web pages (such as the website of a marketer), pixel tags may generate a generic notice of the visit and permit our partners (or sometimes, us) to read the cookies that a respective company or server has deployed. Pixel tags are used in combination with cookies to track the activity on a site by a particular device.
    • We or our service providers, and other online marketing platforms that we or they work with, may use cookies to, among other things, “remember” you, determine visitor patterns and trends, collect information about your activities on our clients’ sites, or interact with the advertising you see. Cookies are used in this way to provide relevant content to you and replace non-relevant communications with ads that better match your interests. We also may use cookies to tailor our marketing to you – such as to target you with online ads about our services after you’ve visited and leave our website.

(b) Disabling Cookies:

      • Most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. You may be able to set your browser to warn you before accepting certain cookies or to refuse certain cookies. You also may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to fully use certain parts of our Website or other websites. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website. In addition, even if you refuse cookies, certain other “tracking” mechanisms may sometimes operate to record browser activity across websites. Thus, we recommend the industry “opt out” mechanisms set out in Section 5 to those who wish to cease cross-site tracking for advertising and marketing purposes.

 

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

There are multiple ways that you can opt-out of having the information that we collect, or that we disclose to clients or to third parties, used to market to you:

    • Opting out of our Database: First, you may contact us directly at privacy@elpdata.com in order to have your name removed from our database. When you do this, please provide your current address, your email address, and any prior home or email addresses you would like “opted out” of our marketing databases. Or if you prefer, you can contact us directly by mail, at the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
    • Industry Direct Mail Opt Out: If you would like to opt-out of direct mail advertising in general, we recommend that you visit the DMA Choice website, at dmachoice.thedma.org. The DMA Choice service is run by the Direct Marketing Association and allows you to follow few easy steps to ensure that your marketing preferences are honored
    • Industry Online Behavioral Ad Opt Out: If you wish to opt out of online targeted ads, you can also visit the opt-out portals operated the industry groups the National Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and you can learn more about how those opt-outs work on those linked web pages. Please note that these online opt-outs are cookie-based (unlike ELP Data’s direct opt-out. Thus, if you browse the web from multiple browsers or devices, you will need to opt out from each browser and/or device. For the same reason, if you change browsers or clear your browser cookie cache, you will need to perform this opt-out function again. Opting-out in this way will not prevent you from seeing ads; it generally will prevent targeted ads customized to what advertisers think may be most likely to be relevant and of interest to you.
    • Opting Out of Our Own Marketing: If you do not wish to have your e-mail address/contact information used by us to promote our own products or services, you may send us an e-mail stating your request to info@elpdata.com If we have sent you a promotional e-mail, you may use the “unsubscribe” link in the email to request omission from future e-mail distributions. This opt out applies to our corporate email list: it does not apply to the information we use in providing our Services, i.e., the information in our ELP DATA (as opposed to our corporate “business-to-business”) database.
