Venuestack uses cookies and pixel tags to enhance your browsing experience by storing preferences and tracking site usage. Options are available to manage cookie settings, ensuring privacy and a personalized web journey. Functional and analytic cookies help improve our services, while providing options to opt-out for privacy.
When you visit any website on the internet, it may store or retrieve information using your browser, mainly in the form of cookies or pixel tags. These cookies contain information about you, your preferences, and your device, and are primarily used to provide you with an optimal browsing experience. The information within cookies typically does not directly identify you and is designed to offer a more personalized user experience. A pixel tag or web beacon is a small piece of software code that represents a graphic image request on a web page or email. Sometimes, there may or may not be a visible graphic image associated with the pixel tag or web beacon, and often it's designed to blend into the background of a web page or email. These can be embedded in a web page or an email to transmit information, which may include personal data. Similar to cookies, pixel tags serve various purposes, including site traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising auditing and reporting, and determining whether a user has opened a specific email.
Venuestack values your privacy, and therefore, you have the option to manage certain types of cookies. Below is a list of cookies/pixel tags that Venuestack may use:
