Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 29, 2021
Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, our website uses cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”). This Cookie Policy describes the different types of cookies we use on our website. Insofar as the information collected through cookies constitutes personal data, the provisions of PROS’s privacy policy apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.
What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are downloaded onto your computer or mobile or other handheld device when you access certain websites. These text files can be read by these websites and help to identify you when you return to a website. Cookies can be ‘persistent’ or ‘session’ cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after your browser is closed, while session cookies are deleted automatically once you close your browser.
“First party” cookies are cookies set by the website you are visiting. Only this website can read them. In addition, a website can potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, called “third-party” cookies.
What Cookies do we use?
We use cookies to better understand how people use our website with the aim of continuously improving the online experience of our visitors. For example, we may remember that you have visited our site before, customize elements of our website, and collect anonymous statistical information about you and how you use our website, including how long you were on the site.
Our website uses “third party” cookies generated by reputable companies we work with to analyze how our website is used and to deliver targeted advertising to you when you are logged in.
For more information on the use of these third-party cookies, we invite you to also visit the cookies and privacy policies of these third parties which are listed in the tables below.
Do not track
Our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals, but we do not track your activities once you leave our website. You may disable certain tracking (e.g., by removing Cookies).
Google Analytics
To the extent that you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, is used on this website. The responsible entity for users in the EU / EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use Google Analytics on our web site. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google that uses Cookies to help us analyze how users use our web site. The information generated by the Cookies about your use of our web site will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our web site, compile reports on web site activity and provide other services relating to web site activity. In addition, we may use the information Google collects about your use of our web site for marketing purposes.
We have enabled Google’s IP Masking, which means that Google will truncate the last octet of the IP address for users in the EEA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to and shortened by Google servers in the United States. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
During your website visit, the following data is collected, among other things:
• The pages you visit, your “click path”.
• achievement of “website goals” (conversions, e.g. newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases)
• Your user behavior (for example, clicks, dwell time, bounce rates)
• Your approximate location (region)
• Your IP address (in shortened form)
• Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g., language setting, screen resolution)
• your internet service provider
• the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)
Google has developed the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js). You can prevent Google’s collection and use of the data it collects as defined in its policy by downloading and installing this browser plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
