WAMA uses cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixels or local storage, to help provide you with a better, faster, and safer experience. Here are some of the ways that the WAMA services—including our various websites, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, and widgets—use these technologies: to log you into WAMA, save your preferences, personalize the content you see, protect against spam and abuse.

Below we explain how WAMA use these technologies, your privacy settings and the other options you have.

What are cookies, pixels, and local storage?

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web. Like many websites, WAMA uses cookies to discover how people are using our services and to make them work better.

A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As many services do, we use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain web or email content. This helps us measure and improve our services and personalize your experience on WAMA.

Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with WAMA.

Why does WAMA use these technologies?

WAMA uses these technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our services in various ways. These uses generally fall into one of the following categories:

• Authentication and security:
• To log you into WAMA
• To protect your security
• To help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate the WAMA Rules
• For example, these technologies help authenticate your access to WAMA and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your account. They also let us show you appropriate content through our services.

• Preferences:
• To remember information about your browser and your preferences
• For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or country that you are in. We can then provide you with WAMA content in your preferred language without having to ask you each time you visit WAMA.

• Analytics and research:
• To help us improve and understand how people use our services
• For example, cookies help us test different versions of our services to see which particular features or content users prefer. We might also optimize and improve your experience on WAMA by using cookies to see how you interact with our services, such as when and how often you use them and what links you click on. We may use Google Analytics to assist us with this. Learn more about the cookies you may encounter through our use of Google Analytics.
