If you want to disable cookies, please check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies. Certain features of the Estriatus website may not be available once cookies are disabled.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
We also gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information is used to understand and analyze trends, to administer the website, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our users as a whole. Estriatus may use this information in its marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Estriatus and third-party websites. When you click one of these URLs, you pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page of the websites. Estriatus may track this click-through data to determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of client communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
