1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that stores information about a user's browsing activity and interactions with a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser, this makes navigating and interacting with our websites a more efficient and personalized experience.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, HubSpot) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer or mobile device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits other specific websites.
2. THE TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
HubSpot uses first and third party cookies, and both persistent and session cookies:
(i) Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. Persistent cookies help websites provide a more personalized experience by retaining user settings and preferences. For example, to remember any preferences you have or choices you make when you use our website.
(ii) Session cookies are deleted once you close your web browser. They are primarily used to manage user sessions and provide a seamless browsing experience. For example, session cookies can keep a user logged in as they navigate through different pages of a website or remember items in a shopping cart until the user checks out.

(iii) Analytics cookies. These cookies collect information that is used either, in aggregate form to help us understand how our websites are being used, provide information on how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our websites for you.
(iv) Advertising cookies. These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

5. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
In addition to cookies, we use other technologies such as clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs or tracking pixels), that help us better manage our websites, products and services by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. For example, we use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications, collect data on deliverability and monitor HubSpot's network health. We tie the information gathered by clear gifs in emails to our customers' Personal Data.
