1. What are Cookies?
The types of Cookies used on our Sites may include: browser-based cookies, pixels or web beacons, Software Development Kits ("SDKs"), and similar technologies.
- Browser cookies are small data files sent from our website servers and stored on your device or browser that enable the NHL Family and its partners to help recognize your browser across different web pages, websites, and browsing sessions. Some cookies remain on your device's hard drive for only the duration of your visit to the relevant website ("session cookies") while others may remain for a fixed period and after you close the relevant browser ("persistent cookies").
- Pixels (or, web beacons) are small, transparent images or snippets of code, also known as "tracking pixels" or "page tags," embedded in websites, apps, or emails that can be used to collect information about your activity or interaction with a site, app, or email.
- SDKs are also snippets of code embedded in websites or apps that can likewise be used to collect information about your activity or interaction with a site or app.
Other similar tracking technologies include JavaScript, HTTP code mechanisms, and APIs (Application Programmable Interfaces), all of which likewise entail snippets of code or software embedded in websites, applications, or emails which are also used to collect information about, for example, your interactions with and use of certain services on the Sites.
As mentioned above, some of these tracking technologies are set and used directly by the NHL Family, while others are placed by third parties, such as by our analytics and advertising service providers and partners, in order to, for example, help us optimize the Sites and our advertising initiatives.
2. What types of Cookies are used on the Sites?
Cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, including delivering a given website or app experience, understanding how visitors interact with the Sites, and personalizing our advertising. These Cookies may be set by us or by third-party service providers or partners and generally fall into the following categories: Strictly Necessary, Functional, Performance, and Targeting and Advertising.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies - These cookies are necessary for the Sites to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. As discussed further in Section 3 below, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Sites will not then work.
- Functional Cookies - These cookies enable the Sites to provide enhanced functionality and personalized content.
- Performance Cookies - These cookies allow us to measure metrics like visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Sites. For example, they help us to know which webpages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around our websites.
- Targeting and Advertising Cookies - These cookies collect information about your online interactions in order to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on third-party sites and services, including on social media services.
3. What are my Cookie-related choices?
