definitions
Cookies are small data files and alphanumeric identifiers transferred to your computer, mobile or other device through your web browser when you visit a website. Tracking technologies used include tags and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Services. Certain sections of our Site and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that allow us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics such as the popularity of certain sections.
Depending on their use, cookies may have different durations. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie. Each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie, they are activated. Session cookies are designed to collect and store data when you access a website or an app. They are used to store data that is only relevant for providing the service on a one-off basis. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
The website owner or a third party may set cookies. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Stash) are "first-party cookies,". Approved parties, other than Stash, may also set cookies when you interact with our Services. These are referred to as “third-party cookies” which generally allow third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Site. The parties that set third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it is used for visits to the Site or to certain other websites that have an established relationship or partnership with the third party. We do not control third-party cookies or how they may be used.
why we use cookies
Stash uses first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to gather data that helps us analyze traffic patterns, identify popular features, recognize you and your settings and to generally improve your user experience. Pixel tags, web beacons, session logs and other technologies may be used to understand how our users interact with our Services and emails. Cookies may also be used to deliver advertising and content tailored to your interest.
Some cookies are categorized as essential and others are generally classified as functional, performance/analytics cookies or targeting cookies.

These cookies are triggered in response to actions within our Platform and are stored when you access our Site and the Services.

Some of these cookies may be set using third-party web analytics tools, such as Heap and Google Analytics.
