Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is effective as of July 1, 2023.

​

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser, on the hard drive of your computer or by your mobile phone or other device as you browse the internet. They can be used to collect, store, and share data about your activities across websites. Our website uses Cookies to distinguish you from other users. This allows us to provide you with a better experience when browsing our website and helps us improve the services we provide.
 

We use both session cookies, which expire after a short time or when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored in your browser for a set period of time. We use session cookies to identify you during a single browsing session (for example, if you log into Global Entry Tracker) and use persistent cookies where we need to identify you over a longer period (for example, when you request that we keep you signed in).

 

Why does Global Entry Tracker use cookies and similar technologies?

We use cookies and similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, or local shared objects (“flash cookies”), to deliver, measure, and improve our services in various ways. We use these cookies when you visit our site and services through a browser. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional data through other methods.
 

We use the following cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our website or make use of our e-payment services, help authenticate your access to Global Entry Tracker and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your accounts. They intend to protect your security and help detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate Global Entry Tracker’s agreements. For example, we use cookies for authentication and security:

  • To log you into Global Entry Tracker

  • To protect your security

  • To help detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate Global Entry Tracker’s agreements

  • To help authenticate your access to Global Entry Tracker and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your accounts

• Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). For example, we use cookies relating to your preferences in order:

  • To remember data about your browser and your preferences

  • To remember your settings and other choices you’ve made

  • To help us remember your preferred language or the country you’re in, so we can provide content in your preferred language without asking each time you visit

  • To customize Global Entry Tracker with more relevant content

• Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. They help us test different versions of Global Entry Tracker to see which features or content users prefer. This allows us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We use analytics and research cookies to help us improve and understand how people use Global Entry Tracker, for example:

  • Cookies help us test different versions of Global Entry Tracker to see which features or content users prefer, web beacons help us determine which email messages are opened, and cookies help us see how you interact with Global Entry Tracker, like the links you click on.

• Targeting and advertising cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it and other websites more relevant to your interests. For instance, we are able to showcase a personalized list of recommended products on our homepage which are suited to your tastes. We also work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics, who use cookies and similar technologies to help us analyze how you interact with our website, including by noting the sites from which you arrive to them. Those service providers may either collect that data themselves or we may disclose it to them. You can opt out of some of these services through tools like the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

​

What are your privacy options?

You have a number of options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

• You can reject cookies which are not essential within the pop-up banner on our website, within your account settings or through your browser settings.

• Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to decline cookies by consulting your browser’s support articles. If you decide to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customize or use some interactive features on our website.

• Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, so your browser’s cookie-management tools may not remove them. To learn more about how to manage Flash cookies, see Adobe’s article on managing flash cookies and Website Storage Settings panel here.

• To learn more about targeting and advertising cookies and how you can opt out, see the consumer opt-out pages for the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance, or if you’re located in the European Union or the UK, visit the Your Online Choices site. To opt out of Google Analytics’ display advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page.
