3. What are cookies?

Cookies are data files placed and stored on your computer or mobile device for collection of select use data and are useful as they allow a website to recognize a user’s device and history of use.

Some types of cookies are only stored on your device as long as your browser is open, so-called session cookies. Other types of cookies are stored on your device for a longer period of time, so-called persistent cookies. For both types of cookies, the cookie is automatically renewed when you return to a cookie enabled website.

Cookies deriving from other parties than us may also be placed on your device; so-called third-party cookies. Such cookies may be cookies performing ordinary functions or analysis tools and embedded comments fields.

We use cookies to analyze how users use our website and to create the most secure and effective website possible for our users. By indicating how and when visitors use the website, cookies aid us in finding out which areas are popular and which areas are not, and how we can improve the user experience. The cookies allow us to improve your experience when using our website and to ensure the site performs as you expect it to. Improvements and updates of the website are based on information supplied by cookies.

Further, cookies help us to personalize web content and meet the desires of our visitors. Among other things, we use cookies to allow you to choose log-in preferences and to buy products and services in our online store. We use cookies to safeguard your privacy. Our website does not use cookies to collect personal information from your computer that was not initially sent as a cookie. We never store passwords or similarly sensitive data in cookies.

The cookie, the functionality and the collected information varies. For the time being, the applied cookies collect the information detailed in sections 5 and 6.

5. First-party cookies

We use session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser. We also use persistent first-party cookies, which are stored between 30 days and up to two years. Both types of cookies register:

Log Information: we log information about your use of our services, including the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address, acceptance of the cookie policy, and the page you visited before navigating to our website.

Anonymization: we use a general purpose platform cookie to maintain an anonymized user session by the server.

6. Third-party cookies

We collaborate with advertisers, media agencies, and networks who use cookies on our website. The purpose of such cookies is generally to enable the delivery of personalized content by Phase One and to ensure the delivery of targeted online ads on behalf of our collaborative partners. Therefore, the following companies also place session or persistent cookies on www.phaseone.com:

Facebook places a cookie called Pixel, enabling the website to recognize your browsing information. The cookie enables conversion analytics from Facebook advertising, and allows us to deliver targeted ads on the Facebook platform based on actions you take on our website. Facebook cookies are stored for up to 1 year.
Google Analytics places session and persistent cookies. The session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. The persistent cookies are stored for up to two years. The cookies are used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. It is included in each page request in a site and used to calculate visitor, session and campaign data for the site’s analytics reports.
Marketo places a persistent cookie called Munchkin, which is stored for one year. The tracking cookie allows the website to link visitor behavior to the recipient of an email marketing campaign to measure campaign effectiveness. The cookie also stores the general web behavior of a visitor in an anonymized form, which is then linked to a person when they provide personal information via a form.
