Web Beacons
Web pages may contain an electronic file called a Web beacon, that allows a website to count users who have visited that page or to access certain cookies. Travel Secrets™ may use web beacons in the following ways:
Within the Travel Secrets™ Web sites
- Travel Secrets™ may use web beacons within any of the Travel Secrets™ websites in order to count users and to recognize users by accessing Travel Secrets™ cookies.
- Being able to access Travel Secrets™ cookies allows us to personalize your experience when you visit Travel Secrets™ websites that are located both on and off of the Travel Secrets™ website domains.
Outside the Travel Secrets™ Web sites
- Travel Secrets™ uses web beacons to conduct research on behalf of certain partners on their websites and also for auditing purposes.
- Information recorded through these Web beacons is used to report anonymous individual and/or aggregate information about Travel Secrets™ users to our partners. Aggregate information may include demographic and usage information. No personally identifiable information about you is shared with partners from this research.
- When conducting research that collects personal information Travel Secrets™ 's practice is to require partners to disclose the presence of web beacons in their privacy policies and state what choices are available to users regarding the collection and use of this information.
Note: This opt-out applies to a specific browser rather than a specific user. Therefore you will have to opt-out separately from each computer or browser that you use.
HTML Mail
- Travel Secrets™ 's may include web beacons in HTML-formatted e-mail messages that Travel Secrets™ , or its agents, sends in order to determine which e-mail messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon. In general, any file served as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon. Travel Secrets™ may also include web beacons from third parties and affiliates within pages served by Travel Secrets™ so that Travel Secrets™ 's advertisers may receive auditing, research and reporting.
