Cookie Statement

This Cookie Statement describes how fieldglass.com uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information when you visit fieldglass.com websites.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone). When you access a website, a cookie is placed on your device and it will send information to the party that placed the cookie.

There are other technologies that perform a similar function to cookies. These include web beacons and clear gifs. These are often used in conjunction with cookies to help a website owner understand its users better. When SAP Fieldglass sends you newsletters or other messages, SAP Fieldglass uses these technologies so that SAP Fieldglass can track email open and click rates. In order to determine a user's ability to receive HTML e-mail in addition to whether or not an e-mail has been opened, SAP Fieldglass includes a "web beacon" in the majority of HTML e-mail messages SAP Fieldglass sends. A web beacon (a small .gif image) is activated when an HTML e-mail is opened via a request for the image on our servers. This capability helps SAP Fieldglass send e-mail in a format that users can read and enables SAP Fieldglass to track the aggregate number of e-mails opened. The web beacon does not collect any personal data.

What are first party cookies?

SAP Fieldglass’s websites have first party cookies and allow third parties to place cookies on your device. The difference between a first party cookie and a third-party cookie relates to who places the cookie on your device. First party cookies are cookies that are specific to the website that created them. These cookies enable SAP Fieldglass to operate an efficient service and to track patterns of user behavior to SAP Fieldglass’s website.

What are third party cookies?

Third party cookies are placed on your device by a third party (i.e., not by SAP Fieldglass). While SAP Fieldglass allows third parties to access SAP Fieldglass’s website to place a third-party cookie on your device, SAP Fieldglass does not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies, nor does SAP Fieldglass retain access to this information. This information is controlled wholly by that third party according to the respective privacy policy of the third party.

What is a session and what is a persistent cookie?

Our websites may place session and persistent cookies on your device. Whereas the difference between a first party and third-party cookie relates to the party controlling the initial placement of the cookie on your device, the difference between a session and a persistent cookie relates to the length of time the cookie lasts. Session cookies are cookies that typically last for as long as you are using your browser, or browser session. When you end your browser session, the cookie expires. Persistent cookies, as the name implies, are persistent and will last after you close your browser. This allows for quicker and often more convenient access to our website.
