1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files, usually consisting of letters and numbers, that are stored on your browser when you visit a specific website. These files are used to remember user preferences, login status, and how the website is used.
We also use other tracking technologies such as Web beacons (also known as “tracking beacons” or “clear GIFs”) and local storage. Web beacons are small graphic files with unique identifiers that allow us to recognise when someone has visited SpaceCloud or opened an email we’ve sent.
In addition, we may use pixels—small pieces of code embedded in web pages—that enable other servers to measure page views. Pixels often work alongside cookies.
