About Our Cookies Policy

Cookie Policy – Automatic Data Collection

By browsing on our Site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your personal computer, telephone, or any other device, with information about your navigation on that website. Cookies facilitate browsing and a more user-friendly experience. A cookie contains the name of the server it came from, the expiry of the cookie, and a value – usually a randomly generated, unique number. Cookies do not give access to nor damage your device.

How We Use Cookies

We use browser session cookies, which are temporary cookies that are erased from your device’s memory when you close your internet browser or turn your computer off, and persistent cookies, which are stored on your device until they expire, unless you delete them before that time. We group browser cookies on our site into four categories, which you can manage through our Cookie Preference Manager:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary to enable the basic features of this Site to function, such as identifying you as a valid user, ensuring that no one else can sign on simultaneously with your account from another computer, and helping us serve you better based on your registration preferences. These cookies also allow you to select your cookie preferences.
Performance Cookies: These performance tracking cookies help us to track whether an email recipient has completed an event, such as signing up for a free trial. Such information is non-personally identifying and collected on an aggregate level. We sometimes utilize third-party service providers to help us track the activity within our Site.
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze your use of the Site to evaluate and improve our performance. They may also be used to provide a better customer experience on this Site. For example, providing us information about how our Site is used and helping us facilitate any promotions or surveys that we provide.
Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be used to share data with advertisers so that the ads you see are more relevant to you, allow you to share certain pages with social networks, or allow you to post comments on our Site.

Cookies Are Not Used to Store Sensitive Data

The cookies we use do not store sensitive personal information, such as your address, your password, or your credit card data.

Performance Tracking

We sometimes use cookies, as well as tracking technology, such as web beacons, within the promotional emails that we send to our subscribers or advertisements for our Site. These performance tracking devices help us to track whether an email recipient has completed an event, such as signing up for a free trial. Such information is non-personally identifying and collected on an aggregate level.

We sometimes utilize third-party service providers to help us track the activity within our Site. These third parties may use temporary cookies and/or web beaconing technology to facilitate such tracking, but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way. Third parties whose products or services are accessible on our Site may also use cookies, and we advise you to check their privacy policies for information about their cookies and other privacy practices.

If you would like more information about the third-party cookies on our website and to find out more about your choice to not have your information used by third parties, please contact us at dpo@cortland.com.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Cookie Preference Manager
Our preference manager allows you to restrict our use of cookies other than Required Cookies. If you use our preference manager on a mobile device, we process your device’s Advertising Identifier. When you access our preference manager, persistent cookies will be set by the ad networks listed in our preference manager to honor your preferences if you choose not to receive interest-based advertising. If you clear your browser cookies, this will remove all cookies including the opt-out cookies set by the companies. You will need to re-access the opt-out tool to reset your preferences. Our cookie preference manager only knows your last set of preferences and does not reflect the current state of cookies on your browser.

Do Not Track
We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals from your browser. Our use of tracking technologies may instead be controlled through our Cookie Preference Manager.

Avoiding Use of Cookies on this Site
If you prefer to completely prevent us from using cookies on your devices, before navigating on this Site, you must first disable the use of cookies in your browser and then delete the cookies saved in your browser associated with this Site.

Disabling and Preventing Further Use of Cookies
You may restrict, block, or delete the cookies from this Site at any time by changing the configuration of your browser.

You are always free to contact us if you have questions or concerns regarding this Policy, have a question or problem related to your use of the Site, or wish to exclude your personal information from our direct marketing purposes. Our standard business practice is to retain any communications from our Site visitors for 90 days to help us to serve you better.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Statement

To comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Cortland has established a process to validate the identity of an individual making a request of us. We will require a request in writing that includes a state or government issued form of identification that includes a matching name, address and photograph of the individual making the request. After a request is made, Cortland will respond with a request for that information as CCPA requires us to do.

Cortland does not sell or share the personal data we collect, except as explained in this Policy. If you require a specific statement regarding how we process and manage the data we collect, please refer to the relevant sections in the document above.
