In this Cookie Policy we’ll explain what cookies are, why we use them, how we use them, and what control you have over them.
Cookies and other online tracking technologies are small bits of data or code that are used to identify your devices when you use and interact with our websites and other services. They are often used for remembering your preferences, to identify you when you log into a site, or to give us the ability to recognize you when you interact with us or our website. Cookies do not typically identify you as an individual, just the device that you are using. For further information on cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit http://allaboutcookies.org.
We can only place cookies for lawful reasons, and we do. For now, the only reasons we place them are
1) To help our site work properly;
2) To identify you when you visit our site;
3) To make your interaction with the site easier (for instance, allowing you to remain logged in and not have to enter your user ID and password every time you come to pax.com); or
4) To track activity on our sites.
If you use our websites, that means that you agree to our cookie policy. For more information, see the section on Managing Cookies.
Using information collected from cookies: where we want to use the information that cookies and similar technologies collect, we either need your consent or a legitimate interest.
These are vital for the running of our services on our websites and apps. Without the use of these cookies, parts of our websites would not work. For example, we use cookies to help us identify which of our customers have a customer account ID with a password. We use these cookies to tell if you're logged in to your account, which allows extra functionality, such as commenting on stories.
These collect information about your use of our websites and apps and enable us to improve the way they work. For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on our websites allowing. They help us record how you interact with our websites, such as how you navigate around pages and from page to page, identifying improvements we can make to the customer journey. They also help identify any difficulties you have accessing our services, so we can fix any problems. Additionally, these cookies allow us to see overall patterns of usage at an aggregated level.
These cookies collect information about your choices and preferences, and allow us to remember things like language, your username (so you can log in faster), text size, and location, so we can show you relevant content to where you are. They allow us to customize the services you have accessed. We also may use these cookies to provide you with services such as video clips.
These cookies record your visit to our websites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have clicked. They gather information about your browsing habits and remember that you have visited a website. We (and third-party advertising platforms or networks) may use this information to make our websites, content, and advertisements displayed on them more relevant to your interests (this is sometimes called "behavioral" or "targeted" advertising). These types of cookies are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
These are bits of data that count the number of users who access a website or webpage and can also allow us to see if a cookie has been activated. Web beacons used on web pages or in emails allow us to see how successful an article has been, or whether an email message was successfully delivered and read in a marketing campaign. Web beacons are also used to verify any clicks through to links or advertisements contained in emails. We may use this information to help us identify which emails are more interesting to you and to inform advertisers how many customers have clicked on their adverts (the information shared with advertisers is aggregated and does not identify you individually).
We may, in certain situations, use Adobe Flash Player to deliver special content, such as video clips or animation. To improve your user experience, Local Shared Objects (commonly known as Flash cookies) are used to provide functions such as remembering your settings and preferences. Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are managed through an interface different from the one provided by your web browser.
We may collect and analyze a device's browser information to help identify that device, present content correctly, conduct analytics and help prevent and detect fraud.
We may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, some limited geo-location data (country and city level only), and other transactional information for that device. We may also use the unique identifier to validate free trials, for example.
Some of the cookies we commonly use are listed in our cookies chart. This list is not exhaustive, but it is intended to illustrate the primary reasons for certain types of cookies set by PAX and third parties on our websites.
Cookies and similar technologies help us identify and prevent threats to our sites. They are necessary to protect your information and our business from outside threats.
