Personal Information


We collect Personal Data from you when you submit web forms or interact with our sites, for example by subscribing to our blog, sending inquiries, signing up for a webinar, subscribing to one of our services, or requesting customer support. We may ask for your email address, first and last name, job title, and other similar business information. You can explore some of our websites without providing Personal Data about yourself.

Cookies


Cookies are small bits of text sent by our servers to your computer or device when you access our services. They are stored in your browser and later sent back to our servers so that we can provide contextual content. Without cookies, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.

Cookies are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current activity on our website (the pages you have visited), your language, and country, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
