Cookies are small files that are typically stored on your device when you access and use websites and use Internet services. We also use other technologies, such as browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, and WebSQL). Just like cookies, these other technologies may store small amounts of data on your device. Web beacons (also called transparent gifs or tracking pixels) often work in conjunction with cookies. Rejecting cookies will, in many cases, limit the effectiveness of web beacons in conjunction with these cookies.
Why does QCI Corp. use these technologies?
QCI Corp. uses these technologies for a variety of reasons, including to facilitate access to our service by storing your access information for the next time you log in; to provide, evaluate, understand and improve the use of our services; to enforce our terms, to prevent fraud; to improve website performance, monitor visitor numbers and behavior on our website; to serve and personalize marketing or advertising; and to understand interactions with our emails, marketing and online advertising on third-party websites.

We also use cookies to collect information (such as popular pages, conversion rates, viewing habits, click-through rates and other information) about how our visitors use our online services. This allows us to improve and personalize the website and service and conduct market research. Deleting these types of cookies may result in limited functionality of our Service.

Some of the websites and apps on which we serve our ads, as well as advertising technology companies we work with to buy, serve, optimize, or measure our ads (collectively, "advertising partners"), receive limited information from us in connection with our use of these technologies as part of our targeting, measurement, and optimization (e.g., registration steps completed and website visit information).
This type of information is typically used to assess the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and optimize them by allowing advertisers to see if someone who saw an ad later registered with our service.
