Does Freenome use other technologies like “web beacons” or “clear GIFs”?
We may also employ software technology known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” which helps us keep track of what content on our website is effective. Web beacons are small graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of Internet users. Web beacons are different from cookies. Web beacons are embedded in the web pages you review, so they are not stored on your hard drive. The web beacons we use do not track or collect any personally identifiable information about you and they are in no way linked to your personally identifiable information.
Please note that we cannot control the use of cookies by linked third party websites. If you have any questions about how third party websites use cookies, you should contact the third party directly.
