We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are typically small files downloaded onto your device (computer, phone, tablet, and similar devices) when you visit a website which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. We use cookies on our Website, including first party.  A “first party cookie” is one set by our Website.

We use cookie technology in several ways to enhance your experience on and continuously improve our Website, these include to: remember you when you return to our Website; identify you when you sign-in; authenticate your access; keep track of your specified preferences, demonstrated interests, or choices; tailor content to your preferences, interests, or geographic region; display personalized browsing history; track activity, downloads, and page views; monitor site usage; conduct research and diagnostics to improve our content, products, and services; and to help us analyze web traffic in general. We may also use cookies in interactions where you request something from Pathcom such as literature, software, technical support, seminar registrations, and/or when you participate in a survey.

We also work with third party companies, such as web analytics companies, advertisers, or companies working on their behalf. These companies use cookie technologies to serve the advertisements that appear on the Website or third-party websites directly to your browser, based in part on your online activity. These third parties employ cookies to measure and improve the effectiveness of advertisements for their clients, including us. To do so, these companies may use information about your visits to our sites and other websites. This information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes, including providing relevant advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

The Pathcom Website may use the following types of cookies:

Advertising & Marketing Cookies. These cookies enable interest-based advertising on the Website using information you make available to us when you interact with our Website. Interest-based advertisements are displayed to you based on cookies linked to your online activities, such as viewing products on our Website. We may also share this information with third parties for these purposes. These cookies help us to tailor advertisements to better match your interests, manage the frequency with which you see an advertisement, and understand the effectiveness of our advertising.

Some web browsers may let you enable a “do not track” feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different than blocking or deleting cookies, as browsers with a “do not track” feature enabled may still accept cookies. While the Pathcom Website at this time does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser.
