Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

BMI uses a feature of your Internet Web browser called a "cookie" to assign a unique identification to your computer. A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie cannot harm your computer, i.e. delete files, reformat your hard drive, etc. BMI uses cookies to retrieve your online shopping cart items. Cookies may keep track of your preferences and profile information, and may collect general usage information that does not include personal information. 

Advertising

Currently Beer Marketer’s Insights does not sell or display advertising on its site. As ad serving and optimization software is the source of much of the user tracking activity on the Internet, the fact that we do not have advertising on our site means we are likely to collect much less information about you and your browsing activities than most ad-supported sites that you visit.

Web beacons

Our Web pages and electronic publications may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) and are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our site is used and may be used in some of our emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our products, customer communications and marketing campaigns.

Our Web pages may also contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that may be set by BMI or by our third-party partners. Web beacons are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our products and site are used. Like most website operators, BMI may collect information generated when you visit its website. This may include users’ IP addresses, page views and other clickstream data.  

To help manage our email newsletters, we may use third-party services to ensure accurate electronic delivery and copyright compliance. Such services collect and forward to us certain technical information from any computer that opens the email newsletters. In addition, they collect and report information regarding the usage of the newsletter by a receiving computer.
