A. What Technologies are Used?
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device to uniquely distinguish your visit to a website or use of an online service or mobile application. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit and your registration information. Cookies may offer you many conveniences for the Services and allow Appleverse to recognize certain information, such as your browser type, so Appleverse knows if you can view certain plug-ins or extensions. They also allow Appleverse to streamline your visit to and usage of the Services based on your previous visits and usage.
Cookies may be either permanent or temporary. Appleverse may use both temporary and permanent cookies. A temporary or “session” cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device during your visit to any of the Services and is deleted when you exit your Internet browser, the mobile application, and/or turn off your device. A permanent or “persistent” cookie means that the cookie stays on your hard drive or device until you delete it.

Web Beacons/Pixel Tags
Web Beacons are typically invisible to you and are generally embedded in very small clear graphics files. “Pixel Tags” are small strings of computer code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page or other medium. Pixel Tags allow the party who serves the Pixel Tag, to set, read, and modify some of Appleverse’s cookies.
Appleverse may use Web Beacons and Pixel Tags to monitor certain non-personally identifiable information about you, including the URL of the page from which the Web Beacon or Pixel Tag originated, the type of browser used, the time you viewed the Web Beacon or Pixel Tag.
