This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) is provided by Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“we” or “MMRF”). It supplements the information and disclosures included in our EEA Privacy Policy, and explains how MMRF uses cookies on MMRF websites, mobile apps, and other digital properties (collectively, our “Services”). If you have any questions or concerns about the Policy or its implementation you may contact us using the Contact Us form in our footer.
- Cookies. When you visit our Services, we may send one or more cookies - a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. We use cookies, for example, to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you while interacting with our Services and to otherwise improve the functionality of the Services we provide. The third parties may serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purpose.
- Other Tracking Technologies. We and our third-party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Services, or in the case of web beacons, opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Services to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have reached our Services from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair functioning of these technologies.
We use the cookies to manage our Services and email messages and to collect and track information about you and your activities online over time and across different websites and social media channels. The specific types of first and third-party cookies served and the purposes they perform are described in further detail below:
