PRIVACY POLICY
VitalSmarts, LC, dba Crucial Learning is committed to protecting the privacy of those who visit our websites and with whom we do business. As part of our normal operations, we collect different kinds of information about our website visitors. We have, however, structured our websites so that people have the option to visit without identifying themselves or revealing any personal information. The following are things you can do while visiting our website if you prefer NOT to have information about your visit collected:
- Disable cookies within your browser before visiting our website
- Choose not to submit information via web forms located within our website
- Choose not to purchase from our online store (if applicable)
- Choose not to “opt-in” to certain programs that are available on our websites
- Choose not to complete any surveys available on our website
The following describes the information we collect and how that information is used to provide our
visitors with the optimal online experience.
COOKIES AND SPOTLIGHT IMAGES OR WEB BEACONS
We sometimes use session cookies to limit popup windows to a single browser instance. We also use
Java scripting in cooperation with cookies and “spotlight images” or “web beacons” to track website
traffic and email response. A “spotlight image” or “web beacon” is an electronic image, called a
1-by-1 pixel or clear GIF, that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as
a cookie number, time and date of a page view and so on. These methods do not collect any personal
information, but simply aggregate information that allows us to research patterns of behavior on
our site to learn how to better meet our visitors’ needs. Our online store uses cookies to store order
information. You may refuse cookies by turning off that feature on your web browser.
This website uses Marketo Munchkin cookies (“Marketo”). Marketo’s cookie allows us to track
repeated visits to the website and link each visit to the information voluntarily provided by the visitor.
For example, if the visitor is asked to provide us with name, company name and email address, we will
know the identity of the visitor when they visit the site at a later date. We also use Munchkin code to
track email open rates and click-through rates, allowing us to manage the email marketing experience.
By using this website, you are consenting to the above use of your data.
For more information on Adobe Marketo’s privacy and cookie policy, please visit Adobe Marketo’s privacy policy: http://www.marketo.com/trust/legal/privacy.
In addition, we may use or allow third parties to serve cookies on our site — specifically we use Google
Analytics and Marketo to help us monitor our website traffic and understand visitor behavior.
