Steiner Online Library ("SOL" or "we") collects certain information relating to your use of our Services. For example, SOL may use cookies, "clear GIFs" (Graphics Interchange Format files), web beacons, pixel tags, or similar technologies to analyze and improve your use of the Services.
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your Internet browser when you visit a website or other online service. Cookies often include a unique identifier that makes it possible to recognize your browser when you visit a website again. This can help improve your online experience, for example, by storing your preferences such as preferred language.There are generally two types of cookies: a "session" cookie that expires when you close the browser; and a "persistent" cookie that is stored by the Internet browser and remains valid until its expiration date or until you delete it.
Examples of cookies used by SOL are described below. For information about how to manage these cookies, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.
Strictly necessary cookies support the proper operation of the Services. Examples of the strictly necessary cookies used by SOL include:
load balancing cookies that distribute user access across multiple servers. These cookies help ensure that individual servers do not become overloaded and unresponsive to user request; and
session ID cookies to streamline communication with your browser.
Functional cookies make the Services more personalized and easier to use. Examples of functional cookies used by SOL include:
site settings to be carried across user page views, like paging through a list of items; and

SOL may also use cookies to collect information to help understand the performance of the Services, such as aggregated numbers of unique visitors, most popular pages, and which web browsers are used. These types of cookies are sometimes referred to as analytics cookies. This website uses third party analytics services, which may include Google Analytics, to collect information for this purpose. The third party analytics providers we use may also receive some information about how you use the website through cookies we deploy.
We may allow third parties to collect or receive information about your use of our Services, including through the use of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, and this information may be collected over time and combined with information collected on different websites and online services. These third parties may use information about your activities on our Services and other websites and combine that information with other information to make predictions about your characteristics, interests, or preferences and to serve advertisements on our behalf or on behalf of Participating Services across the Internet.
