Use of similar technologies
We utilize tracking technologies such as "IP addresses", "log files" and "web beacons" to gather specific information that enhances the usability and functionality of our website. These technologies also help us gain insights into how visitors navigate the site and interact with the tools and services we provide.
  • IP Addresses: We may collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for various reasons, including technical troubleshooting, maintaining site safety and security, controlling access to specific users, and better understanding how our sites are used. An IP address is a unique identifier used by computers on the network to recognize your device each time you connect to the internet.
  • Log Files: We (or a third party previously authorized by Verifone) may gather information through log files, which record website activity and provide statistical insights into users' browsing behavior. These entries are generated anonymously and include data such as user browser type, operating system, session details (e.g., referring URLs, visit timestamps, pages viewed, and session duration), and other browsing or click-stream data. We may also use this information for internal marketing and demographic studies, all aimed at continuously enhancing the online services we offer. Rest assured that log files are used solely for internal purposes and are not linked to specific users.
  • Web Beacons: On our website and in emails sent to users, we may use web beacons, also known as "web bugs". These are small code snippets that facilitate the delivery of graphic images in web pages or email messages, enabling data transfer back to us. Information collected via web beacons may include details similar to those described in the IP Address section. We use web beacons for various purposes, including website traffic analysis, tracking unique visitor counts, auditing and reporting advertising and email performance, and personalization.
