What are Cookies?
A cookie is a piece of information contained in a very small text file that is stored on your computer. Cookies allow a website to identify a user’s device whenever that user returns to the website and are commonly used in order to make websites work more efficiently and enrich the user experience, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Periodically, some pages on sites may use cookies for identification purposes. Such cookies are used for site registration and customization the next time you visit us. These cookies are set by us and are called first party cookies. We may also collect information about how you use the sites using cookies (and other similar technologies), as part of improving the content and functionality of the website. You should note that cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive. Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function, and you may not be able to access certain information on the sites.
We may also use third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are created by domains that are not the sites (or domain) that you are visiting. These cookies are used for our marketing efforts, as well as to understand your browsing of the sites, for example, which page you visit or how long you stay on each page. These types of cookies are set by AVEO affiliates and/or vendors we are working with to enhance end-user experience or may be used to identify visitors to our sites.
We may also use internet tags such as “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our websites. A pixel tag can collect additional information such as IP address, URL, timestamp, browser type and the cookie identification number.
We may use independent advertising companies to provide ads on our behalf across the internet (“advertising company”). These advertising companies also help us analyze our advertising campaigns and the general usage patterns of visitors to our websites. This is primarily accomplished through the use of cookies and internet tags. Such companies may place these tags on our websites or on other sites.
“Do-Not-Track” is an optional browser setting that you can use to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third parties. Please note, however, that our website does not have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from web browsers at this time. We commit to user privacy by honoring Do Not Track (“DNT”) browser settings.
How to Control Cookies
You can control, opt-out, reject and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer, and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work. For more information about how to manage cookies, please visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/.
You may also control your online behavioral advertising preferences and opt-out from having your data processed by certain marketing companies by visiting http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and http://optout.aboutads.info/. Please note, however, that managing these preferences will not turn off internet advertisements in general. You will still receive the same number of advertisements, but those advertisements will be less reflective of your interests, as indicated by your web browsing habits. In addition, please note that the opt-out preferences that you set using these tools may be nullified if you delete your cookies after setting them.
