5.2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

 

Strictly necessary cookies are those which are essential for our sites to work in the way you have requested. Although many of our sites are open, that is, do not require registration, we may use strictly necessary cookies to control access to some of our community sites, whitepapers or online events such as webinars and to maintain your session during a single visit. These cookies will need to reset on your browser each time you register or log in to a gated area. If you block these cookies entirely, you may not be able to access gated areas. We may also offer you the choice of a persistent cookie to recognize you as you return to one of our gated sites. If you choose not to use this “remember me” function, you will simply need to log in each time you return.

 

5.2.2 Performance Cookies

 

Performance cookies, often called analytics cookies, collect data from visitors to our sites on a unique but anonymous basis. The results are reported to us as aggregate numbers and trends. Karix allows third parties to set performance cookies. We rely on the reports to understand our audiences generally and improve how our websites work.

 

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), which in turn uses performance cookies. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case IP-anonymisation is activated on our website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the whole IP address be first transferred to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On our websites, the IP address is encoded (i.e. anonymised) before being sent to Google servers.

 

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of our website to (a) evaluate your use of our website, (b) compile reports on website activity for website operators, and (c) provide website operators with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

 

The IP address that your browser conveys within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on below. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website.

 

You can also opt-out from being tracked by Google Analytics by downloading and installing Google Analytics’ Opt-out Browser Add-On for your current web browser by clicking here.

 

5.2.3 Functionality Cookies

 

We may use site performance cookies to remember your preferences for operational settings on our websites so that you do not have to re-set the preferences every time you visit. For example, the cookie may recognize optimum video streaming speeds or volume settings, or the order in which you look at comments to a posting on one of our forums. These cookies do not identify you as an individual and we don’t associate the resulting information with a cookie that does.

 

5.2.4 Social Media Cookies

 

If you use social media or other third-party credentials to log in to our sites, such third party organization may set a cookie that allows such organization to recognize you. The third-party organization may use such cookie for its own purposes. The organization may also show you advertisements and content from us when you visit its websites or use its applications.

 

Additionally, if you wish to use a social media-sharing button or widget on our Website, the social network that created the button will record your action for its own purposes.

 

Please look to each social media organization’s privacy and data protection policy to understand (a) its use of cookies; (b) how it tracks you from our sites; and (c) how to control such cookies and buttons.

When using our website, you may encounter embedded content, such as YouTube videos. These websites and embedded content may use their own cookies. We do not have control over the placement of cookies by other websites, even if you are directed to them from our website.
