If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages and any attachments together with your email address and our responses.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND SITE USE INFORMATION

Similar to other commercial Sites, our Site utilizes Web server logs to collect information about how our Site is used. Information gathered through server logs may include, without limitation, the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Site, and the websites visited just before and just after our Site.

COOKIES

Bily Harlow uses cookies to enhance the Site experience for visitors and to help us improve our communication with you. “Cookies” are small pieces of text information that a Site sends you to store on your computer for future use. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain the cookie comes from, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. You can delete them from your computer at any time or change your browser settings not to allow them. Cookies allow Bily Harlow to remember important information that enables your user experience with Bily Harlow.

Bily Harlow uses two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies have a temporary “life” and are set to only remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Site. We use these on an anonymous aggregate basis to analyze the total number of visitors to our Site and which pages the user visited.

These session cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Site is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Site for you.

Persistent Cookies

To assist in determining the effectiveness of Bily Harlow’s online advertising, Bily Harlow uses persistent cookies provided by LinkedIn. When a visitor clicks an ad on the platform and lands on bilyharlow.com, the cookie tells us the ad brought the visitor to Bily Harlow.

These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Site through third-party social networking and other Sites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.

WEB BEACONS?

Bily Harlow may use other tracking technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page to another within a Site, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve Site performance, or to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

FLASH COOKIES AND LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS

The Site may also use so-called “Flash cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about your use of the Site, our services, and/or for fraud prevention and other Site operations.

If you do not want Flash cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash cookies storage using the tools contained in the Site storage settings panel. You can also control Flash cookies by going to the global storage settings panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I OPT-OUT OF COOKIES?

You can delete these cookies at any time from your browser settings and also change your browser settings to opt-out of cookies. However, if you opt-out out of Bily Harlow cookies (also called “first-party” cookies), not all parts of the Site will work properly.

Your browser may not permit you to block some technologies. For this reason, you can use the following third-party tools to decline the collection and use of information for the purpose of serving you interest based advertising:

You can decline to have personal data collected via third party tracking technologies by navigating to the settings feature in your browser and declining all third party cookies or declining third party cookies from specific sites, or, for mobile, limiting ad tracking or resetting the advertiser identifier via the privacy settings on their mobile device.

HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US?
