What are Cookies?

certain functions the browser had performed during past visits.

SAGE's Cookie Policy

The main aim of SAGE’s cookies is to help our customers have a better user
experience. We use cookies to help customers who want us to remember their
Institution or their personal profile, and to stay logged into our sites, so you aren’t
always required to remember a password.

To be able to save and share content across SAGE Knowledge, you will need to
have cookies enabled. If you do not enable cookies, you will still be able to browse
our site but will not be able to use features such as creating video clips and saving
your searches or lists of content.

We don't store any information to identify you personally. We do use information


gathered from some cookies to help improve your experience. For example, some
of the cookies we use ultimately help us identify potential areas of our site that
customers may find difficult to interact with or find confusing and in turn leave the
website. If we are able to identify these areas, it means we are able to improve
them for our customers.

This information is being provided to ensure that SAGE is being transparent about
our use of cookies, to make it clear how we use the information we collect and to
be in compliance with EU legislation.
Third Party Cookies

On the SAGE website, we allow our users to conveniently be able to share


information about products of interest via different platforms such as Twitter and
Facebook or even by a simple email. The functionality has been created by the
companies themselves and provided to us to display on our site. By using these
functions there may be cookies being created or updated on your machine that are
not set by SAGE but by these third parties. Because we don’t control the settings
of these cookies, please check the third party websites for more information.

SAGE may utilize re-marketing and re-targeting tracking cookies to permit certain
third party companies (such as CheckM8 and DoubleClick) to help us deliver
advertisements and special promotions to you across their advertisement
networks. These cookies do not include your PII.

We use the Google User ID feature to associate individual user visits/website


sessions from different devices with a unique user ID. This data is used in
accordance with Google’s policies, and we do not transmit personally identifiable
information to Google. We may use the Google User ID feature to stitch together
data from unauthenticated sessions and authenticated sessions, and also combine
this with data in our contact database. We use this data to understand usage
better, and to serve the needs of users through tailored communications. You can
opt-out of Google Analytics’ tracking entirely by using the Google Analytics Opt-out
Browser Add-on developed by Google, available at

Personally Identifiable Information


As part of purchasing products from SAGE, requesting services, participating in
surveys, or accessing special areas on our Web Site, you may be required to
supply us with personally identifiable information (“PII”).

SAGE may use your PII for internal purposes, to process your transaction, or for
marketing purposes.

Since some areas on our Website are co-branded with or sponsored by a third
party, you should be aware that your PII may be shared with such third parties and
we encourage you to review their separate privacy policies.

SAGE does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms that
provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of PII
about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party
websites or online services. SAGE does not track such online activities.

SAGE may provide access to course materials and/or services to educational


institutions, associations and other similar customers through its website or
through a third party website. Information collected on these websites is only used
by SAGE and such customers and third parties as needed in relation to the course
materials or services which may include, without limitation, the collection and
tracking of certain usage data. Student records, which may include PII, may be
protected by the Family and Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA).

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose your PII (such as your name or
email address) in a forum accessible to others (e.g. on blogs, bulletin boards, chat
areas and other similar forums including, without limitation, those hosted within a
social site), your PII may be collected and disclosed by others. SAGE cannot take
responsibility for such collection and disclosure.

We may also disclose PII in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this PII is reasonably necessary to: comply with the law, enforce or
apply our terms of business, protect our rights and those of our users, or with your
consent.

If you do not wish to have your PII exchanged or disclosed, please see our contact
information above.
