3. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
In addition, we or our third-party partners may collect and store certain information from your browser using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data (a small file, with the typical content of letters and numbers) stored or downloaded on a user’s computer or any other device that can be tied to information about the browser’s activities on our website. Our cookies allow us to provide certain features of HiFi Home Buyers. For example, among other things, we use cookies to keep track of your login access, conduct support and debugging, understand the duration of the user’s session, and estimate and report our total audience size and traffic. HiFi Home Buyers’ website also uses cookies to improve the content and services it provides to its users.
We use four primary types of cookies, which include:
Functional Cookies – These cookies support the use of the website and applications and enable certain features to enhance your experience.

We also use functional cookies for remembering things like your sign-in information and hotel preferences to avoid you having to re-enter it.
Performance Cookies – These cookies collect information needed to support the website and our applications, and allow us to improve our website and identify any problems you might face while visiting us. For example, performance cookies may provide us with information about how you came to our website and how you navigated around our website. We also use these cookies to provide us with certain statistical and analytics information, such as how many visitors come to our website or how effective our advertising is.
Targeting Cookies – These cookies help us to improve our products and services as well as serve you with targeted advertisements that we believe will be relevant for you. We use targeting cookies across our websites and applications for various marketing initiatives and campaigns.
Third-party Cookies — As described above, we use a number of third-party service providers to help us manage, carry out and improve our advertising. These parties set cookies at our direction to help us collect information and provide you with advertisements that we believe would be relevant for you. In some instances, these third parties may also assist us by providing certain statistical and analytics information in relation to our marketing practices. We also may share information collected through cookies (and other tracking technologies) with third parties to use for their own analytics and marketing purposes.

We or our third-party website manager partners may employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that helps us improve our site, for example, to better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customer’s personal information if you choose to provide such information to us.
4. Collection and Use of Information and Content
Our third-party partners may have their own policies regarding how they collect and store information through the technologies discussed above. Specifically, the use of cookies by our tracking utility company is not covered by our privacy policy and we do not have access or control over these cookies.
