For almost any website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, Mimecast uses tools such as, but not limited to, pixel, widgets and fingerprinting. Some of these tools may create files known as 'cookies' – which are small text files – on its users' computers. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognize its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated websites to recognize these users for a particular purpose.
Cookies and other data collection tools do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the Internet much smoother and more interactive. For instance, they are used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to provide you with relevant content and to help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
What Information do we collect about you?
IP address, approximate location (country/region/city), browser, operating system, device type, language, and referring URL
Date, time, pages visited, and how you interact with the site (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement, video views, form activity)
Unique identifiers stored in cookies, local storage, or similar technologies used to recognize your browser or device
Inferred company information linked to your IP address (e.g. company name, industry, size) from third-party providers
Information you submit through forms, such as name, business email, phone number, job title, and company
Technical request data, including HTTP status codes, used for site reliability and security
Behavioral signals and inferred account data collected on this site may be processed by third-party platforms using automated analysis and predictive modeling to assess purchase intent, segment visitors into audiences, and inform advertising targeting decisions
Where you submit contact information, your details may be used to generate pseudonymous identifiers that are shared with third-party advertising and intent-data platforms to enable cross-site targeting, audience modeling, and measurement
What types of cookie are there?
Generally, there are four types of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functionality cookies and targeting or advertising cookies.
Furthermore, these cookies break down into two further sub-types.
Persistent cookies remain on a user's device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies are temporary. They allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Types of Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences directly through their settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, including those already set, at any time. These settings are typically found in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser's options or preferences menu. Please note that blocking certain types of cookies, especially essential ones, may impact the functionality and performance of our website. For more detailed instructions, refer to your browser's help documentation or visit www.allaboutcookies.org for guidance on how to manage cookies across different browsers.
