How we utilize tracking technologies and cookies
When talking about cookies and tracking technologies, TopCare HVAC of Oakville brings up the following points:
Internet Beacons
We employ web beacons as a tool in our subscriber emails to improve content management. Tiny, individually recognizable images called web beacons are used to monitor an online user’s activity. Web beacons are invisible online elements that are embedded on websites, as opposed to cookies, which are kept on a user’s hard drive. They help us assess the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by helping us identify which recipients of our HTML-based emails have clicked through.
Pixels
The code that is installed on your computer to cause a cookie to be set is called a pixel. We occasionally employ this technique to provide you with more pertinent messages.
Log Files
We use log files to document activities that take place on our websites. This could include a number of different things, like the type, content, or timing of any transactions you make with your device. We can examine activities on our websites because of these audit trails.
How and why cookies and tracking technologies are used
