What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive by a web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. There are several types of cookies:

Session cookies provide information about how a website is used during a single browser session while a user is visiting a website. Session cookies usually expire after the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies remain on your device between different browser sessions for a set amount of time in order to enable the website to remember user preferences, settings, or actions across other sites. A persistent cookie will remain on a user’s device for a set period of time specified in the cookie.
First-party cookies are cookies set by the operator of the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by third parties that are different from the operator of the website you are visiting.

Our collection of cookies

We, our marketing partners, affiliates, and analytics or service providers use cookies and other similar technologies. We group the cookies that we collect into the following categories based upon their function (note that all types of cookies, as described above, may be found in each category):

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are sometimes called “strictly necessary” as without them we cannot operate and administer the Website.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These cookies track information about visits to the Websites so that we can make improvements and report our performance. For example: analyze visitor and user behavior so as to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. They collect information about how visitors use the Websites, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the Websites. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them.

Functional or Preference Cookies

During your visit to the Websites, cookies are used to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username, language or your region) on the Websites. They also store your preferences when personalizing the Websites to optimize your use of the Website. These preferences are remembered, through the use of the persistent cookies, and the next time you visit the Websites you will not have to set them again.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These Third Party Cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks in order to, deliver ads and track ad performance, enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called “behavioral” “tracking” or “targeted” advertising) on the Websites. They may subsequently use information about your visit to target you with advertising that you may be interested in, on the Websites and other websites.

Third-party cookies

The Website allows third-parties to place cookies on your Internet-connected device in order to remember your preferences and settings, personalize your online experience and our marketing and other communications to you, strengthen security and integrity of our online services, combat fraud, analyze and improve the performance of our online services, and to fulfill other purposes described in the Notice. Further, in order to provide interoperability and plug-ins from various social media websites (like Facebook), the Website allows these third-parties to place and collect cookies on your Internet-connected device. However, you can restrict the third-party collection of cookies through the instructions provided in the section How To Opt-Out Of Tracking And Restrict Cookies below.

Analytics

We may use service providers to provide site metrics and other analytics services. These service providers may use cookies (see above); web beacons (also called clear GIFs or pixels), which are small blocks of code that allow us to measure the actions of visitors using DG Petro’s sites; and other technologies to collect information, such as your IP address, identifiers associated with your device, other applications on your device, the browsers you use to access our sites and Services, webpages viewed, time spent on webpages, links clicked and conversion information (e.g., transactions entered into). This information may be used by DG Petro and its service providers on behalf of DG Petro to analyze and track usage of our sites and Services to determine the popularity of certain content and to better understand how you use our sites and Services.

We use Google Analytics on the Site to analyze how individuals use the Site. We will package up information about how individuals interact with our Site and send it to Google Analytics to be processed into reports. This information includes basic pageviews and visit data such as device type, operating system, and browser type. When Google Analytics processes data, it aggregates and organizes the data based on particular criteria like whether a user’s device is mobile or desktop, or which browser they’re using. If, at any time, you choose not to participate in the use of analytics software, please use your web browser’s available opt-outs as described in the section How To Opt-Out Of Tracking And Restrict Cookies.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. DG Petro does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available external tools, we offer you the choices described in this Cookies Notice to manage the collection and use of information about you.

Web beacons, pixels, tags and scripts

In addition to cookies, we use other technologies to recognize and track visitors to DG Petro’s websites. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML email, typically in conjunction with a cookie. Web beacons allows us certain functionality, for example, monitoring how users move from one page within a website to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to a website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.

These technologies may be used on our sites or in our emails to help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage of our sites, campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon.

Third-Party/Embedded Content

These cookies are set by third parties whose content is embedded in DG Petro’s websites (e.g., video). They may track your online activity in order to enhance your experience or assess the success of their application. We have no direct control over the information these cookies collect. Please review the third party’s privacy notice and privacy settings before clicking on embedded content in our site.
