What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access any other information on your device beyond what was specifically stored in them.

In addition to standard cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons / Pixels: Tiny invisible images embedded in emails or pages to track opens and interactions
  • Local Storage: Browser-stored data that persists between sessions without expiry
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage cleared when the browser tab is closed
  • Fingerprinting: Device characteristics used to recognize returning visitors (used minimally and only for security purposes)

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the site's performance, content, and usability.

  • Google Analytics 4: Tracks page views, session duration, bounce rate, and user journeys. Data is anonymized β€” IP addresses are truncated before storage. Google Privacy Policy
  • Hotjar: Records anonymous heatmaps and scroll maps to identify usability issues. No personally identifiable information is collected.
IP Anonymization Active

We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics. The last octet of your IP address is zeroed out before data is stored, meaning your full IP is never logged.

05

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are only activated if you explicitly consent. They allow us and our advertising partners to show you relevant advertisements on other websites based on your browsing interests.

  • Google Ads Remarketing: Shows Norton ads to users who have previously visited our site
  • Facebook Pixel: Enables conversion tracking and custom audience targeting on Facebook and Instagram
  • Microsoft Clarity: Behavioral analytics for ad optimization

You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time via our Cookie Settings panel. Doing so will not reduce the number of ads you see, but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
