Cookie Policy
Last Updated: November 8, 2019
This Cookie Notice describes how Risk Management Solutions, Inc. ("we" or "us") use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information when you visit our website. For additional information on our data processing activities, please visit our Privacy Policy, available here.
What are Cookies and what information do they collect?
Like most companies, we automatically collect and store certain information from visitors to our website. This may include your browser type, your IP address or device ID, operating system, the pages you access on the website or services, the time spent on those pages, access dates and times, location data, and the page you visited before coming to our website. We use this information to monitor, analyze and administer the website and services, and to better tailor them to your needs.
To collect this information, we use a variety of technological tools including cookies and pixel tags. A cookie is a small data text file which a website stores on your computer’s hard drive, if permitted by your browser. A cookie can later be retrieved to identify you. We use cookies for the limited purposes of enhancing your visit to our Website and to enable us to track usage so that we can improve the website and our offerings to you. Cookies are common and used on a number of websites. Each cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie and usually the IP address or another unique number of the device, and thus may contain Personal Information.
A pixel tag (also known as a “clear GIF” or “web beacon”) is a tiny image – typically just one-pixel – that can be placed on a web page or in an email to you, to tell us when you have displayed that page or opened that email.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Our website may place session and persistent cookies on your device. The difference between a session and a persistent cookie relates to the length of time the cookie lasts. Session cookies are cookies that typically last for as long as you are using your browser, or browser session. When you end your browser session, the cookie expires. Persistent cookies, as the name implies, are persistent and will last after you close your browser. This allows, for example, for quicker and often more convenient access to our website.

First Party and Third Party Cookies
Our websites may place first party cookies and allow third parties to place cookies on your device.

Their use enables us to operate an efficient service and to track the patterns of behavior of visitors to the website. Third party cookies, on the other hand, are placed on your device by a third party (i.e., not by us). While we may allow third parties to access the website to place these cookies on users’ devices, we do not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies, nor do we retain access to that data.
