What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone). When you access a website, a cookie is placed on your device and it will send information to the party that placed the cookie.
There are other technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These include web beacons and clear gifs. These are often used in conjunction with cookies to help a website owner understand its users better. When NextGate sends you newsletters or other messages NextGate uses these technologies as follows so that NextGate can track email open and click rates: In order to determine a user’s ability to receive HTML e-mail in addition to whether or not an e-mail has been opened, NextGate includes a “web beacon” in the majority of HTML e-mail messages NextGate sends. A web beacon (a small .gif image) is activated when an HTML e-mail is opened via a request for the image on our servers. This capability helps NextGate send e-mail in a format that users can read and enables us to track the aggregate number of e-mails opened. The web beacon does not collect any personal data.
