A3 Smart Home LP (“Company” or “we,” “our,” or “us”), certain third parties, and certain of our partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our websites (“Sites”), mobile applications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the "Services"). This Cookie Statement, sometimes also referred to as Cookie Policy, applies to any members, customers, users or subscribers (“Members”) or any visitor who engages with the Services and explains how we use cookies and the choices you have. This Cookie Statement forms a part of our Privacy Policy available at https://calstate.aaa.com/privacy-policy. Any defined terms used in our Privacy Policy also apply to this Cookie Statement.
I. Overview of Cookies and Other Identification Technologies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, applications, online media, and advertisements. These cookies and other similar technologies like pixels, web beacons (also known as clear GIFs) and local storage are used for various purposes, including but not limited to authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining content popularity, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of users who interact with the Services.
There are different types of cookies, such as “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies.” First-party cookies are cookies served by the entity that operates the domain you are visiting (i.e., Company). Third-party cookies are cookies served by the organizations that are not operating the domain you are visiting, such as our analytics or marketing partners.
Cookies may also have different durations. Session cookies last only while your browser is open, and are deleted automatically when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed. For example, persistent cookies may recognize your device when you re-open your browser and visit our Services again.
II. Cookie Types and Purposes
While the cookies we use may change from time to time, they currently fall into the below categories of use:
Cookie Types: Analytics and Research
Purpose: Such cookies may be first party and third party cookies. To the extent that those cookies are third party cookies they are deployed by our service providers. Those types of cookies are used to understand, improve, and research products and services, including when you access the Services and related websites and apps from a computer or mobile device. For example, we may use such cookies to understand how you are using Site features, and segmenting audiences for feature testing.
Cookie Types: Preferences
Purpose: Such first-party cookies are used to remember your settings and preferences and do not involve the sale of your Personal Information to a third party. For example, we may use these cookies to remember your content and communication preferences.
Cookie Types: Performance
Purpose: Such first-party cookies are used to collect information about how you interact with our Services and to help us improve them, and do not involve the sale of your Personal Information to a third party. For example, we may use these cookies to determine if you have interacted with a certain Site.
Cookie Types: Advertising
Purpose: Such first and third-party cookies are used to deliver advertisements, to make advertisements more relevant and meaningful to consumers, and to track the efficiency of our advertising campaigns, and may involve the disclosure or sale of your Personal Information to a third party, such as our ad partners.
For example, we and our ad partners may rely on information collected through third-party cookies to serve you ads on other websites that may be interesting to you. Similarly, our ad partners may use a cookie, attribution service or another similar technology to determine whether we have served an ad and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with them.
