(A) COOKIES
A Cookie is a piece of Data, which is stored on the User's Computer, which includes all Computing Devices, including Tablets, Personal Computer Systems, Smart Phones, Smart Watches, and any other Device that may be used to operate the Software/Service, which is provided to the Client/Licensee/Subscriber. Symphony Source uses both Session ID Cookies and Persistent Cookies. Relative to the Session ID Cookie, once a Client/Licensee/Subscriber, closes the Browser, the Cookie simply terminates. A Persistent Cookie is a small Text File, which is stored on the Client/Licensee/Subscriber's Hard Drive, for an extended period of time. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following the Internet Browser Help File Directions.
If a Client/Licensee/Subscriber rejects the Cookie, they may still use the Software/Service; the only disadvantage, in this regard, is that the User will be limited, in some areas of Symphony Source's WebSite. Persistent Cookies enable Symphony Source to Track, and Target, the Interests of the Client/Licensee/Subscriber, in order to enhance the Software/Service. -
(B) LOG FILES
Symphony Source also uses Log Files. Log Files include Internet Provider (IP) Addresses, Browser Type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/Exit Pages, Platform Type, Date/Time Stamp, and Number of Clicks, to Analyze Trends, Administer the Site, and Track the Client/Licensee/Subscriber's Movements, in the Aggregate, and to gather Broad Demographic Information for Aggregate Use.

Clear GIFS are tiny Graphics, with a unique Identifier, similar, in function, to Cookies, and are used to Track the Online Movements of Web Users. The main difference between Cookies, and a Clear Gift, is that a Clear Gift is invisible, on the Page, and is much smaller, about the size of the Period at the end of this sentence.
