Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms
We and our providers use cookies, pixel tags, and other similar tracking mechanisms to automatically collect information about browsing activity, type of device, and similar information within our Products. We use this information to, for example, analyze and understand how you access and use our Products, identify and resolve bugs and errors in our Products, assess, secure, protect, optimize and improve our Products, as well as for marketing, advertising purposes, and analytics purposes. We may also aggregate such information to analyze trends, administer our Site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate uses.
Cookies. “Cookies” are small files with a unique identifier that are transferred to your browser and are used for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow LPL to save certain information about a User, such as a password or individual preferences, in order to facilitate and enhance the User's use of the Products.
Clear GIFs, Pixel Tags and Web Beacons. Pixel tags (sometime called web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on your device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Products to, among other things, track the activities of Users, and help us manage content and compile usage statistics. We may also use these in our emails to let us know when they have been opened or forwarded, so we can track response rates and gauge the effectiveness of our communications.
Third Party Analytics. We use third party tools, such as Google Analytics, which are operated by third party companies, to evaluate usage of our Site and Products. These third-party analytics companies use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies to collect usage data about our Products to provide us with reports and metrics that help us evaluate usage of our Products, improve our Site, and enhance performance and user experiences. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising and Conversion Measurement. We use Google Ads, including the Google tag (gtag.js), to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. When you arrive at our Site from one of our advertisements, or interact with our Site afterwards, Google may set cookies or use similar technologies to record that visit and to report whether it later resulted in an enquiry or purchase. This is known as conversion tracking. We use this information in aggregate to understand which advertisements are effective; it does not tell us the identity of any individual visitor.
Depending on our settings and yours, Google may also use this information for remarketing, which means showing our advertisements to you on other websites and services after you have visited ours. You can control how Google uses this information, and opt out of personalized advertising, through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com and through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tools at https://optout.networkadvertising.org. To learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Most browsers also allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site function. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Cross-Device Tracking. We and our providers may use the personal information we collect about you within our Products and on other third-party websites and Products to help us and these third parties identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.) to interact or engage with us or the Products.
Third-Party Advertising. We work with third-party ad networks, analytics, marketing partners, and others (“third-party ad companies”) to personalize content and display advertising on our Site, as well as to manage our advertising on third-party sites. We and these third-party ad companies may use cookies, pixels tags, and other tools to collect browsing and activity information within our Products (as well as on third-party sites and services), as well as IP address, unique ID, cookie and advertising IDs, and other identifiers. We and these third-party ad companies use this information to provide you more relevant ads and content within our Site and on third-party sites, and to evaluate the success of such ads and content.
Do Not Track. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” mechanisms. Most of these mechanisms, when turned on, send a signal to the website or online service indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked online. However, because the providers of “Do Not Track” and similar signals do not yet operate according to common, industry-accepted standards, we currently do not respond to those signals. For more information about Do Not Track mechanisms, see https://allaboutdnt.com.
User Privacy Rights and Choices
There are several ways for you to manage choices about your personal information, including preferences regarding cookies, advertising, whether you want to receive marketing and promotional content from us, and choices regarding your account and profile information.
Cookie Settings. If you wish to prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our Site or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set; you can also delete cookies. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your device from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to delete cookies. Users of our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse the Site, but some features may not function.
Industry Ad Choice Programs. You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our Site, and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you.

You may also download the DAA AppChoices tool (https://youradchoices.com/appchoices) in order to help control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device. Opting out of participating third party ad networks does not opt you out of being served advertising. You may continue to receive generic or "contextual" ads on our Site. You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs.
