Blog subscriptions & special reports: Belisi publishes blogs and

What are Cookies and Other Tracking Utilities?
Cookies are
alphanumeric identifiers that Belisi transfers to your computer's hard
drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser and to provide personalized product recommendations and other
personalized features. For this reason, we ties your personally
identifiable information to our cookies. While your browser will allow
you to disable cookies, we recommend that you leave them turned on so
that you can enjoy the best possible experience at Belisi.com. Some of
our business partners (ie tracking utility company) use cookies on our
site. We have no access to or control over these third party cookies.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time
stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to
analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements
around the site and to gather demographic information about our user
base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to
personally identifiable information. We use a third-party tracking
service that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable
information about visitors to our site in the aggregate to capture
usage and volume statistics to enhance our Web site.
Web Beacons
We employ a software technology called Web beacons, that help us
better manage content on our site by informing us what content is
effective. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier,
similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online
movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a
user’s computer hard drive, Web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web
pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails
have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the
effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our
marketing campaigns. For this reason, we tie your email address to the
Web beacons. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see
follow the unsubscribe instructions in each email or change your email
preferences in My Account.
