Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
On certain webpages or e-mails, Tech InsideOut may utilize a common internet technology called a “Web beacon” (also known as a “pixel tag” or “clear GIF technology”). Web beacons help analyze the effectiveness of Websites by measuring, for example, the number of visitors to a site or how many visitors clicked on key elements of a site.
Web beacons, cookies and other tracking technologies do not automatically obtain personally identifiable information about you. Only if you voluntarily submit personally identifiable information, such as by registering or sending e-mails, can these automatic tracking technologies be used to provide further information about your use of the website and/or interactive e-mails to improve their usefulness to you.
