In addition to cookies, Chestnut Bakery uses “pixels” to enable certain cookies or advertisements on the Site and to track the number of times a link or advertisement is served on a webpage. A pixel is a tiny, 1×1 image that is loaded when you visit our Site, but instead of calling up an image, it causes a cookie or application to be downloaded. Pixels can be used to track user activities, track the number of times a user has viewed a particular link or advertisement, track and optimize website traffic, display advertisements, keep track of advertising commissions, and otherwise collect data for online marketing and website analysis. As with cookies, our Site utilizes both session pixels and persistent pixels.
We also use cookies and tracking/marketing pixels for four general purposes: (1) to ensure the functionality, optimization, and ease of use of our Site; (2) to ensure and maintain the security of our Site; (3) to collect anonymous, statistical data regarding how visitors interact with the Site; and, (4) for marketing purposes.
The cookies that we use for functionality and security purposes are considered necessary cookies, without which the Site would not function properly. These cookies allow some of the basic functions of our Site to work properly, such as remembering your preferences as you navigate the Site. In addition, these cookies help us secure the Site by preventing cross-site request forgery attacks and by throttling excessive request rates.
We also use cookies to collect statistical information regarding how visitors interact with our Site and to track repeat visits to our Site. While these cookies collect information regarding how you use our Site in order to help us understand site flow and improve the Site, all such statistical data is anonymous and does not personally identify you.
Finally, we use both cookies and pixels on our Site for marketing purposes, including: to check whether your browser supports the use of cookies, to deliver general advertisements from third party advertisers, to present targeted advertisements to particular Site visitors, to track the particular advertisements that have been displayed to you, to track your browser activity across devices and marketing channels, to track the actions you take after viewing an advertisement in order to measure the efficacy of the advertisement, and to display particular advertisements in order to re-engage visitors that are likely to convert to customers based on those visitors’ online behaviour across websites.
We also use Google Analytics on our Site to collect usage data, to analyze how users use the Site, and to provide advertisements to you on other websites. This information is anonymous and does not include personal information. Please visit the following website for information about how you can opt out of having Google Analytics collect data from you when you are using the Site: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/
