2. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
(i) By using the Site(s)/ App(s), you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with the provisions of this clause. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Site(s)/ App(s). A “Flash Cookie” is a data file placed on a Device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built-into or downloaded by you to your Device. Cookies and Flash Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to our web pages. If you choose to disable cookies or Flash Cookies on your Device, some features of the Site(s)/ App(s) may not function properly. The use of cookies on the Site(s)/ App(s) allows you to enjoy more seamless visits and more accurately measures your behavior on the Site(s)/ App(s).

They merely recognize your browser, unless you choose to identify yourself voluntarily. You may choose to identify yourself for any one of the following reasons: by asking the browser to remember your username and password, by responding to a promotional offer, or by personalizing a web page or requesting more information on a product or service.
(ii) Web beacons (also known as clear gifs) are used in combination with cookies to help Site(s)/ App(s) operators understand how you interact with their Site(s)/ App(s). A web beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a Site(s)/ App(s) or in an email. The use of a clear gif allows the Site(s)/ App(s) to measure your actions in opening the page that contains the clear gif.
(iii) Embedded scripts are programming codes that are designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site(s)/ App(s), such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site(s)/ App(s), and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

a. Provide general internal and customer analytics.
b. Study traffic patterns in order to improve Site(s)/ App(s) performance, to customize the user experience, and to better match the users’ interests and preferences. For example, NIRI 9 keeps track of the domains from which people visit, and also measures/tracks visitor activity on NIRI 9 Site(s)/ App(s). However, these tracking records are performed and maintained in ways that keep the data non-identifiable.
c. Keep track of preferences you specify while you are using NIRI 9 products or services.

f. Assist in identifying possible fraudulent activities.
g. Tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.
(v) Controlling our use of Cookies: The Adobe Flash Player (“Flash”) is an application and web tool that allows rapid development of dynamic content. Flash (and similar applications) use technology to remember settings, preferences and usage similar to browser cookies, which may be used by NIRI 9. NIRI 9 employs Adobe Flash cookies in certain situations where we use Flash to provide some content such as video clips or animation. NIRI 9 does not use Flash Cookies to serve interest-based advertising. Flash Cookies are managed through the Flash Player Settings Manager, which is a different interface than the one provided by your web browser. This Settings Manager lets you manage global Privacy Settings, Storage Settings, Security Settings, and Automatic Notification Settings. This Site(s)/ App(s) may also use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your Device and allows an analysis of your use of the Site(s)/ App(s). If Google Analytics is used, the information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site(s)/ App(s) (including the IP address) will be transferred to and stored on a server of Google in the US. Google will use such information to analyze your use of the Site(s)/ App(s), to create reports about the Site(s)/ App(s) activities for NIRI 9 and to provide further services associated with the use of the Site(s)/ App(s) and the internet. Furthermore, Google may transfer such information to third parties, to the extent legally required or if such third parties process the data on behalf of Google.
