Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Tracking

Cookies are small amounts of data generated by a website and saved by your web browser. Their purpose is to remember information about you. Our websites may use cookies to track the number of times you have visited our website, to track the number of visitors to our site, to analyse visitors’ experience with our site, to store data that you may provide (such as preferences), and to store technical information related to your interactions with our websites and applications. We may also use session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, to store your username, to facilitate movement around our site, and other information useful in administering the session on our site.

Our site(s) may also contain web beacons, which are small, transparent image files. Web beacons allow us to count the number of users who have visited pages of our site(s). We may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon, including whether the recipient clicked on a link in the email or forwarded the email to another person.

Tracking Options and “Do Not Track” Signals

Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may adjust your browser, operating system, or mobile device settings to limit certain tracking, decline cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer or device. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to experience all the features of our site(s) or application(s). You can typically delete existing cookies, although this means that your existing settings will be lost, such as stored usernames and other preferences. While you may be able to disable the use of cookies through your browser or device settings, the Oil & Energy services currently do not respond to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from your browser or mobile application due to lack of standardization regarding how that signal should be interpreted.
