# 4. Online Activity Tracking
We collect information about your activity on the Website, App or Service for a number of purposes using technologies such as cookies, user behavior, server log files and similar technologies (e.g., pixels, ad tags and device identifiers).
A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate settings on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website, App or Service. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website, App or Service.
When you visit our Website or App some or all of the following types of cookies may be set on your device:
Essential website cookies: we need them to provide you with access to our Website and to use some of its features.
Advertising cookies: we use them to make advertising messages more relevant to you, choose ads that match your preferences and measure the number of ads displayed to you and their efficiency.
Analytics cookies: they help us to evaluate how good our Website and/or App, our marketing efforts are, and help us customize and improve our Website and App.
Pages of our Website, App or Service and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Joom, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
We also may use Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) tags. UTM works as a custom URL for marketing campaigns and reports can be viewed in platforms like Google Analytics. UTM tags are appended as part of the visible URL in marketing programs to understand the specific instance of a link on third-party websites and visitors to our website. The tracking occurs via the UTM parameters that are appended in the URL. When you click an UTM-tagged URL on a third-party website, based on the parameters set, we will be able to track from which end source you have interacted with that URL. These details are collected at an aggregated level. Customizing the URL with UTM tags allows us to better understand the marketing activity, which then allows us to better serve our audience.
We use that information to help tailor the content you see on our Website, App or Service, optimize our Website, App or Service, and make our advertising more relevant to you. We transfer this data to our authorized processors providing us with analytics and recommendation solutions for these purposes.
Do Not Track (DNT) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by advertisers and other third-parties. Please note that our Website does not respond to DNT signals. We also use information regarding your prior visits, searches, purchases and other activities on our Website, App or Service to make our advertising you see on some websites other than ours more relevant to you.
# 5. Information Sharing
