Passive Information Collection and Use
As you navigate around this Site, certain information can be
passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing
the information), using various technologies. We passively collect and
use information in a variety of ways, including:
Through your browser: Certain
information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access
Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen
resolution, operating system version, and Internet browser type and
version. We may collect similar information, such as your device type
and identifier, if you access this Site through a mobile Device.
Cookies: Cookies are pieces of
information stored directly on the computer you are using. Cookies
allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on this
Site, pages visited, and language preferences. We and our service
providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate
navigation, and display information more effectively. In addition, we
use cookies to gather statistical information about Site usage in order
to continually improve its design and functionality, understand how
individuals use it, and to assist us with resolving questions regarding
it.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you would prefer not to
accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to:
(i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a
cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) to
disable existing cookies; or (iii) to set your browser to automatically
reject any cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, part of
the Site may not work for you.
Pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies:
These may be used in connection with some Site pages to, among other
things, track the actions of Site users and compile statistics about
Site usage and response rates.
IP Address: Your IP Address is
a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are
using by your Internet Service Provider. An IP Address is identified and
logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits
this Site, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were
visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet
and is done automatically by many web sites. We use IP Addresses for
purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose server
problems, and administering this Site.
Device Information: We may collect information about your Device, such as a unique device identifier.
Do Not Track Requests: Your
selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not
have any effect on our collection of cookie information for analytic and

delete or disable all tracking mechanisms on your Device.
We permit third-party advertising partners to use the foregoing
tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing
activities over time and across different websites when you use the
Site. For example, we use advertising services providing by third-party
ad partners, such as Google, to market our service to you on other
websites and online services. Through a process called “retargeting,”
each service places a cookie on your browser when you visit the Site so
that they can identify you and serve you ads on other sites around the
web based on your browsing activity. To avoid use of this information
for advertising by these third-party ad partners, you can change your
browser settings to reject cookies or to notify you when cookies are set
and you could select the Do Not Track option on your browser, though we
have no control over and cannot confirm whether these third-party ad
partners honor the Do Not Track browser signal. Additionally, many
advertising companies are members of the NAI or DAA and/or provide
opt-outs on those industry pages at networkadvertising.org/choices or
aboutads.info/choices.
We utilize Google Analytics on the Site. Google Analytics is a
website analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google
utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of this Site,
to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google
services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and
personalize the ads of its own advertising network. For more information
on Google’s Privacy Policy go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. Users can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking at https://tools/google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. Some additional Google Analytics features that Polaris uses are:
Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting – allows
Polaris to see the age, gender and interests of website visitors to
better understand them and personalize advertising.
Google Display Network Impression Reporting – for banner ads.
Remarketing through Google Analytics for Display Advertising – allows personalization of ads on our ad networks.
User ID Extension for Google Analytics – allows Polaris to connect multiple devices, sessions and engagement data.
We, along with third-party vendors such as Google use first-party
cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies
(such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers
together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions
and other ad service functions as they relate to our website. Users can
set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad
Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network
Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt
Out Browser add on.
Integrated Accounts and Social Media Information
We may implement applications or "widgets" from third party
providers (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) that
allow interaction, integration or content sharing with third party
services. These widgets or applications may be visible on a page you
visit on our Site or may require log-in through the third party
provider’s service. The third party providing the widget or integration
may offer controls for you to manage your interactions. Any interaction
with a third party widget or application typically allows the third
party to collect some information about you (whether through cookies,
registration information or otherwise). These third parties may even
track you when you do not interact with the widget. If you have engaged
any of these third party service providers, their respective privacy
policies will govern their tracking and collection of information. You

the website, enabling easy sharing onto social media platforms. Embedding the
link prevents a direct connection with various social media network servers
when opening a page from our website. When clicking on one of the buttons, a
browser window opens and directs the user to the respective service provider
website on which (after having logged in) for example, the “Like” or “Share”
button can be used.

processing and further use of your personal data by the provider and their
websites as well as your rights and possible settings to protect your privacy,
please refer to the data protection information of the respective service
provider.
