Poll Everywhere Cookie Policy

Overview

The Poll Everywhere Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information. This Cookie Policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, for such purposes as serving content or providing advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How Does Poll Everywhere Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons and some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor to a website takes a particular action.

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Assisting you in navigating our website.
• Assisting you in registering for our events and webinars.
• Assisting you in registering for activities on our website.
• Analyzing your use of our website.
• Assisting with our marketing efforts.

What Types of Cookies Does Poll Everywhere Use?

Poll Everywhere uses the following categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for our website and services to perform basic functions and are necessary for us to operate certain features. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account-related functions, store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location, and ensure our services are operating properly. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but consequently some parts of the website may not work.

Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to optimize performance by collecting information on how users interact with our website, including which pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our website functions and to understand how users interact with it. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

Advertising Cookies. These cookies are set by us and our advertising partners to provide you with relevant content and to understand the content’s effectiveness. They may be used to collect information about your online activities over time to predict your preferences and to display more relevant advertisements to you. These cookies also allow a profile to be built about you and your interests and enable personalized ads to be shown to you based on your profile.
