Cookies and Other Automated Interactions

Although use of Automated Interactions by Plex and its Service Partners may change over time as technology evolves, we use cookies and other similar technologies to collect information from this Website and the other Channels. These technologies may recognize you across the different devices you use, such as a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet. Plex may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by our Service Providers on an individual as well as aggregated basis. For information on the use, disclosure and sharing of the information collected through the Channels please refer to “Use, Disclosure and Sharing of Information” below. The following descriptions provide additional detail about Plex's current approach to information collected by Plex and its Service Providers from the use of Automated Interactions.

• Cookies. Plex's server will query your browser to see if there are "cookies" previously set by this Website and our other electronic Channels. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web server to store on a Web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies may collect information, including a unique identifier, user preferences, profile information, membership information, and general usage and volume statistical information. Cookies may also be used to collect individualized website use data, provide electronic Channel personalization, or conduct and measure the effectiveness of advertising in accordance with this Policy.
  Plex uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer or device. Some cookies referred to as ‘persistent cookies’ may remain on your computers or devices after you leave this Website (or other Channels), close your browser or turn off your computer or device. The following sets out how Plex uses different categories of cookies. For information about your options for managing cookies’ settings please refer to the “Opt-Out, Unsubscribe, Browser Controls and Do Not Track” section below.
  • Functional Cookies. Functional cookies are used to improve how this Website and the other Channels function and perform, to enhance and customize your interactions with Plex, and to help us provide you with more relevant messages, including marketing communications. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Channels, including which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages from certain pages. Functional cookies are used to improve how this Website and the other Channels function and perform, to enhance and customize your interactions with Plex, and to help us provide you with more relevant messages, including marketing communications.

  • Targeting or Advertising Cookies. Plex and its Service Providers sometimes uses cookies delivered by third parties to show you ads for Plex products and services that we think may interest you on any devices you may use and to track the performance of Plex advertisements.  In these cases, cookies remember information such as which browsers have visited this Website or other Channels. In addition, ad networks follow your online activities over time and across different sites or other online services by collecting information through Automated Interactions, including through the use of cookies. This information may be used to display more relevant advertisements and content to you on this Website or other Channels and non-Plex websites. This information may also be used to display Plex employment opportunities to you if, for example, you have visited our Careers page on this Website. The information used for targeted or interest-based advertising may come from Plex or through third party ad networks. If Plex is using one of its own cookie-related products on this Website or another Channel, then a cookie related to ads may appear on this Website under the Plex or one of our Service Providers’ names. For information about how to opt-out of Targeted and Interest-Based Advertising please refer to the “‘Opt-Out’ for Targeted and Interest-Based Advertising” sub-section of the “Opt-Out, Unsubscribe, Browser Controls and Do Not Track” section below.
• Web Beacons. Plex and its Service Providers use Web beacons (‘pixels’) alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about visitors’ usage of this Website and interaction with emails from Plex. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed this Website or another Channel tied to the Web beacon. Web beacons may be placed in marketing emails that notify Plex when you click on a link in the email that directs you to this Website or one of the other Channels. Web beacons are also used to operate and improve this Website or another Channel. Information collected using these technologies may be associated with the recipient's e-mail address. 
• IP Addresses, URLs, Log Files and Other Data. Plex may automatically receive information from you as part of the communication connection itself such as your browser type, your Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to Internet communications standards, when you visit or use this Website or the other Channels, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave this Website. This information is used to analyze overall trends, to help us improve the Channels, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the various Channels. The information collected may be gathered and stored in log files and then used to track and analyze both individualized usage and volume statistical information from interactions with the electronic Channels.
• Widgets, Buttons, and Tools. Plex’s electronic Channels may include widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on this Website and the other Channels to provide specific services from another company (e.g., links to bookmarked sites), along with buttons or other tools that link to other companies' services (e.g., a "Like" button or third-party map). The widget, button or tool may collect and automatically send Personal Information, such as your e-mail address, or other information (such as your browser information, or IP Address), to a third party. Cookies may also be set or used by the widgets, buttons or tools to enable them to function properly or for other purposes, which may include advertising. Information collected or used by a widget, button or tool, including cookie settings and preferences, is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it.
