What does this Cookie Policy cover?
This Cookie Policy explains how DMRC LLC (d/b/a Digimarc) and the other Digimarc entities identified in our Privacy Policy, as applicable, use cookies, software development kits, pixels, tags, local storage, session-replay technologies, and similar technologies on our public websites and mobile applications that link to this Cookie Policy.
Some of the cookies and similar technologies described in this Cookie Policy are used for advertising, retargeting, measurement, lead-generation, account identification, marketing analytics, and similar purposes. Depending on the context and applicable law, these technologies may involve sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing.
This Cookie Policy also explains the choices available to you for managing cookies and similar technologies. For more information about how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
Managing your preferences
You can manage your cookie and tracking preferences at any time by using the Cookie Settings tool linked in the footer of this website.
You may also see a cookie banner or similar consent tool when you visit our websites or use our mobile applications. Where required by applicable law, we use that tool to request consent before using certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
If you disable or reject certain cookies or similar technologies, some features may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to remember your preferences, recognize your device, keep you logged in, provide certain interactive features, or measure and improve certain services.
What types of technologies do we use?
We may use the following technologies on our public websites and mobile applications.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that may be placed on your browser or stored on your device. Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
- Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your browser or device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies may be set by us or by third parties.
- First-party cookies are set by a domain we control.
- Third-party cookies are set by domains controlled by third parties, such as analytics, advertising, chat, measurement, video, social media, or other service providers. These third parties may recognize your browser or device across different websites, applications, or online services, including for advertising, retargeting, measurement, analytics, lead-generation, or marketing purposes, subject to applicable law and your choices.
Pixels and tags
Pixels and tags are small pieces of code or invisible images that may be used to operate websites, deliver or read cookies, understand usage, measure advertising or marketing effectiveness, and determine whether users interact with emails, advertisements, websites, or other online content.
For example, we may use pixels or tags to understand whether a recipient opened an email, clicked a link, viewed a page, interacted with an advertisement, or arrived at our website from a particular campaign.
Local storage and similar browser technologies
We may use local storage, HTML5 storage, or similar technologies to store information on your browser or device. These technologies may be used to remember preferences, support website functionality, maintain settings, or improve performance.
Software development kits and mobile app technologies
Our mobile applications may use software development kits, app analytics tools, crash reporting tools, device identifiers, app-instance identifiers, and similar technologies to operate the applications, understand usage, diagnose errors, improve performance, and support app functionality.
We do not currently use mobile advertising IDs for interest-based advertising in our mobile applications.
Session-replay technologies
We may use session-replay or similar technologies to understand how users interact with our websites or mobile applications. These technologies may record information such as clicks, taps, scrolling, navigation, page interactions, and other usage activity so that we can troubleshoot issues, improve usability, and understand how the services are used.
We configure these technologies to avoid collecting sensitive information where reasonably practicable. You should not enter sensitive personal information into fields or areas that do not request it.
Chat and interactive tools
We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate chat, support, or other interactive tools on our website, including tools provided by third-party providers. These technologies may help operate the chat feature, maintain the conversation, route requests, remember interactions, and understand website usage related to the chat feature.
If you use a chat or interactive tool, the provider of that tool may process information such as webpages visited, IP address, approximate location, device and browser information, and information you choose to submit through the tool, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described below.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for our websites to function properly. They enable core functionality such as navigating our websites, accessing secure areas, authenticating users, managing traffic, preventing abuse, supporting security, and recording cookie-consent choices.
Because these cookies are necessary, they generally cannot be disabled through our Cookie Settings tool. You may be able to block them through your browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of our websites to break or not function properly.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies help us provide enhanced functionality and remember choices. For example, these cookies may help us provide embedded video functionality, operate chat or support features, remember preferences, and support interactive website features.
Disabling functional cookies may cause some website features or preferences not to work as intended.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies gather information about how visitors use our websites, such as which pages visitors view, how often visitors visit, whether visitors receive error messages, and how visitors interact with website features. These cookies help us measure and improve website performance, troubleshoot issues, conduct analytics, and understand usage.
Disabling performance cookies should not prevent the websites from functioning, but it may limit our ability to measure and improve performance.
Social media cookies
Social media cookies are set by social media services and may allow users to share content from our websites to social media platforms or allow us to display content from social media platforms on our websites. These cookies may also allow social media platforms to collect information about your interactions with our websites and may be used by those platforms for advertising, measurement, or other purposes, subject to their own policies.
Disabling social media cookies may affect features that integrate with social media platforms.
Targeting cookies
Targeting cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies are used to tailor advertising based on interests, habits, online activity, website interactions, lead activity, or similar information. They may help us and our advertising, retargeting, measurement, social media, video, lead-generation, and marketing partners deliver more relevant advertising, identify or qualify leads, limit how often you see an advertisement, measure advertising effectiveness, conduct retargeting, and understand marketing performance.
Depending on the context and applicable law, these technologies may involve sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing. You may opt out through the Cookie Settings tool linked in the footer of this website, by enabling Global Privacy Control where required by applicable law, or by using other methods described in this Cookie Policy or our U.S. State Privacy Notice.
Disabling targeting cookies may cause you to see more general advertising rather than advertising based on your interests or online activity.
Consent-management technologies
We use consent-management technologies to record your cookie and tracking preferences and help us honor those preferences where required by applicable law.
How can you manage your choices?
You can control or limit how cookies and similar technologies are used in several ways.
Cookie Settings
You can manage your preferences at any time through the Cookie Settings tool linked in the footer of this website.
The Cookie Settings tool allows you to manage non-essential cookies and similar technologies, including functional, performance, social media, and targeting cookies, where required by applicable law.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies. Browser settings vary, so please consult your browser’s help menu for instructions. If you use different browsers or devices, you may need to apply your preferences separately to each browser and device.
Mobile app settings
Your mobile device may allow you to manage permissions and certain privacy settings for mobile applications, including permissions for location, notifications, and other device features. You can manage these settings through your device settings.
Email settings
You may be able to limit certain email tracking technologies by configuring your email client to block external images or display emails in plain-text mode. You may also opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.
Advertising choices
You may be able to limit the use of information for interest-based advertising through the following tools and settings. The tools listed below may not stop all sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing under applicable law. To exercise legal opt-out rights where available, use the Cookie Settings tool linked in the footer of this website or enable a legally required opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law.
- Browser settings, including settings that block or delete third-party cookies.
- Privacy browsers or plug-ins, including ad-blocking or tracker-blocking tools.
- Platform settings, such as advertising settings offered by Google, Meta/Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, or other advertising platforms.
- Industry opt-out tools, such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool, the Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice tool, and, for mobile apps, the AppChoices mobile app.
- Device settings, including settings that limit ad tracking or app tracking where available.
These settings may need to be applied separately to each browser, device, or platform.
Global Privacy Control and other opt-out preference signals
Where required by applicable law, we treat Global Privacy Control and other legally required opt-out preference signals as requests to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing.
Opt-out preference signals may apply only to the browser or device from which they are submitted and may not apply in contexts where we cannot reasonably associate the signal with you. You may need to enable the signal separately for each browser or device you use.
Effect of disabling cookies
If you disable or reject certain cookies or similar technologies, you may experience inconvenience or reduced functionality. For example, we may not be able to remember your preferences, recognize your device, maintain your login session, provide certain features, or measure and improve our services.
