Third Party Pixels and Cookies
When you visit our website, log in, register or open an email, cookies, ad beacons, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to help analyze how users use the Service. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on a user’s computer or device, to track the user’s activity (including information such as the user’s flow, location by country, language, browser and OS, ISP and devices) on the Service. We use Google Analytics with a view to analyzing usage across devices and offering improvements for all users of the Service. To learn more about Google Analytics, please click here. To opt-out of this feature, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) consumer choice page located here, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on located here.

You have certain choices about sharing and marketing practices.
You can opt out of receiving our marketing emails. To stop receiving our promotional emails, please click the unsubscribe link in the email. Even if you opt out of getting marketing messages, we will still send you transactional messages, which include responses to your questions.
You can control cookies and tracking tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies or other tracking tools. How you do so depends on the type of tool. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can go here. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings. Some websites have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals. If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.
