Online Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising
Analytics. We may use third-party analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through Cookies; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; and provide certain features to you.
- Google Analytics. Google Analytics will place cookies on your device that will generate the information we select about your use of the Website, including your device’s IP address. That information will be transmitted directly to and stored by Google. The information will be used for the purposes of evaluating the use of the Website, compiling reports on activity on the Website for our use, and providing other services relating to activity on, and usage of, the Website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google’s practices regarding the Personal Information collected through Google Analytics are covered by Google’s privacy policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics.
Interest-Based Advertising. When you use the Services, Para may use the information collected from you in order to display advertising to you on other websites, such as Facebook or Google, about products, services, and related features that we think may be of interest to you to improve and personalize your use of the Services. This type of advertising is called retargeting. These ads may be personalized based on information that we collect about you. This advertising may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and may be tailored to your interests.
- Meta Pixel and Custom Audiences: We use the remarketing and analytics services of Meta, Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Meta”) on our website. We use the Meta Pixel and Meta Custom Audiences to deliver targeted advertisements to Website visitors across those Meta-owned social media platforms based on email addresses that we have collected.

- HubSpot Analytics: We may use HubSpot Analytics, a web analytics service provided by HubSpot, Inc. that uses cookies and beacons to track how long users are on our Website, what marketing pages they visit, what marketing offers they respond to, and a user’s identity, to improve our customer education material, set up accounts and operate our Services.

Notice Concerning Do Not Track. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the industry regarding the meaning of DNT signals, we have not yet developed a response to browser DNT signals and do not change any of our data collection practices when we receive such signals. We will continue to evaluate potential responses to DNT signals in light of industry developments or legal changes.
