Our company websites, online platforms, interactive applications, email communications, and advertisements may use technologies like cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons. These tools allow us to better understand user behavior, identify which parts of our sites are being visited, and assess the effectiveness of ads and search results. Information collected through cookies and similar technologies is considered non-personal data. However, if local laws treat Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers as personal data, we will handle them accordingly. In cases where non-personal data is combined with personal information, we treat the resulting data as personal according to our Privacy Policy.
Advertisements displayed through our company’s advertising platform may appear in services like the App Store or News. If you prefer to opt out of receiving targeted ads, you can enable the "Limit Ad Tracking" feature. This setting ensures your Company ID will not receive interest-based ads, regardless of the device used. Enabling this feature on mobile devices also prevents third-party apps from using the Advertising Identifier to serve targeted ads. However, context-based ads, such as those related to search queries or viewed content, may still appear in services like News or the App Store.
The company and its partners may also use cookies and similar technologies to store personal information when you interact with our websites, services, or applications. These technologies are intended to improve and personalize your experience. For example, knowing your first name allows us to greet you personally on future visits to our online store. Information such as your country, language preferences, and professional background (e.g., being an educator) helps us tailor services to your needs. Additionally, insights about your shopping or service usage enable us to offer more relevant advertisements and communications. Access to your contact information, device data, and hardware identifiers also helps us personalize features like your operating system, set up services like iCloud, and enhance customer support.

As is common with most online services, we automatically collect certain information and store it in log files. This data may include IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP) details, referring and exit pages, operating system, timestamps, and clickstream data. We use this data to analyze trends, manage our websites, evaluate user behavior, improve our products and services, and gain demographic insights about our audience. This information may also be used to support marketing and advertising efforts.
Some email communications contain “click-through URLs” that direct users to specific content on our website via a separate server. This tracking helps us measure interest in particular topics and assess the effectiveness of communications. If you do not wish to be tracked, you can avoid clicking these links in emails. Additionally, pixel tags in emails allow us to send messages in a readable format and track whether they’ve been opened. This data helps us improve our communication strategies, reducing the number of unnecessary messages sent.
