Tracking Technologies and Third-Party Tracking

Tracking Technologies
We collect information automatically when you visit the Platform, such as through the use of cookies, web beacons, or pixels and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are text files the Platform places on your computer’s hard drive to store information about your preferences. We use cookies to identify which pages of the Platform are being used, to analyze data about Platform traffic, to enhance user experience with the Platform, and for other statistical analysis. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most website browsers automatically accept cookies but you can usually modify your browser settings in accordance with your preferences. If you decline cookies, this may prevent some of the Platform’s features from fully functioning.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies to collect information that helps us to customize the Platform to match our users’ individual interests and recognize returning users, estimate the number of website users and their usage patterns, and increase the speed of our users’ searches. For example, we may use the below tools to collect this data:

• “Pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”). We use these small electronic files to compile aggregate statistics about Platform usage and response rates. Pixel Tags allow us to count the number of users who have visited certain pages of the Platform, to deliver branded services, and to help Sprout determine the effectiveness of its promotional or advertising campaigns as well as the effectiveness of the Platform itself. When Pixel Tags are used in HTML-formatted email messages, they can tell the sender whether and when the email has been
  opened.
• Referrers and your Internet Protocol (IP) Address. Referrers are small files containing information your web browser passes to Sprout’s web server that references the URL which you used to access the Platform. Your IP address is the number used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that you can receive data.
• Environmental variables. Environmental variables include, but are not limited to, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed the Platform, the type of web browser, operating system, and platform your computer uses, the Internet address of the previous website you visited before entering the Platform, the names of the pages you visit while at the Platform, and the next Internet website you visit after leaving the Platform.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand how our users interact with our Platform, in accordance with applicable laws. Our ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/) and the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). To understand how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may opt out of Google Analytics at any time by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics, such as Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the Doubleclick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Service. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://google.com/ads/preferences or by visiting NAI’s online resources at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.

“Do Not Track; Third-Party Tracking

We do not track visitors of the Platform over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.

Some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your browser allows you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. You may consult the help pages of your browser to learn how to set your preferences so that websites do not track you. For information regarding DNT and how to enable this setting, if vailable, on your devices please see https://allaboutdnt.com.
