6. Use of Cookies
The B Suite website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and may stay on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website, depending on your browser or internet settings. Cookies do not damage your device - they are merely used to "remember" when you visit again as well as provide an additional tool in helping us market and track the success of marketing campaigns.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize B Suite pages, or register with B Suite site or services, a cookie helps B Suite to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same B Suite website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the B Suite features that you customized.
Some parts of the Site may also use cookies to track user traffic patterns to determine the usefulness of information on our Site to our users and to see how effective our tools and user experience are in helping users. Cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive. Your Web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the B Suite services or websites you visit.
TMP and third-party vendors (such as Google, LinkedIn, Double-Click, and Adsense) use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics or cookies provided by TMP) and third-party cookies (Double-Click) together in order to inform, optimize and serve ads based on past visits and behaviors on our website. We have implemented and use display advertising, and we use Google Analytics to implement a feature called remarketing, which allows us to optimize the delivery of ad content specifically targeted to a user's interests based on previous web visits and behaviors. If you would like more information on remarketing lists in Google Analytics, please click here. If you would like to opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising, you can use the Ads Preference Manager here. Or you can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser extensions, which you can download here.

8. Legal Disclaimer
