To improve the accuracy of the produced reports, information is also stored in a first-party cookie from our website and then collected by mParticle:

  • Random unique Visitor ID
  • Time of the first visit for the specific visitor
  • Time of the previous visit for the specific visitor
  • Number of visits for the specific visitor 
  • First party cookies are set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them.  In addition, a website might potentially use an external service to analyse how people are using their site. mParticle sets their own cookie to do this and also uses external parties.
    The data collected is masked and cannot be used to identify a particular visitor. They will not be shared with any other organisation for marketing, market research or commercial purposes.
    For persistent cookies, a random ID is generated by Piwik Pro, which allows mParticle to identify when a user returns to the site. 
  • Persistent cookies are saved on your computer and are not deleted automatically when you close your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you close your browser.

By default, the browsing experience of website visitors is tracked by mParticle in the US and Canada.

Please note: this feature will opt you out (or in) of cookies too.  If you choose to opt-out, you will receive an opt-out cookie so that your decision is remembered. If you regularly delete your cookies, you will need to opt-out each time you delete them.
