Links in our emails are tracked to measure click-through rates. When you click a link, we record which link was clicked, the timestamp, and general device/location information.

If you click through to our website or a client landing page, cookies and similar technologies may be used to track your visit, remember your preferences, and measure advertising effectiveness. These may include:

Session cookies (temporary, deleted when browser closes)
Persistent cookies (remain for a set duration)
Retargeting/advertising pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads)
