What are Cookies?

Cookies are small amounts of information that we may store on your local computer or mobile device when you visit the site. When you visit the site again, the cookies allow us to recognize your browser. Cookies may store your preferences and other information but cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.

Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, NJCPA) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable us to provide third-party features or functionality through the site (e.g., advertising, social media functions and analytics).

Essential and Non-essential Cookies

Essential cookies perform activities that are strictly necessary to help our site function or help with the transmission of a communication. Non-essential cookies perform activities that are not strictly necessary to help site functionality and include functionality/personalization cookies, performance and analytics cookies, and advertising and targeting cookies.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized. They cannot track your browsing activity on other sites. Some of these cookies may be set by third parties and you should refer to their website privacy policy for additional information. If you block these cookies, it may affect the functionality and use of our site during your visit.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies. These cookies gather information about how you use our site. Analytics cookies allow us to track traffic patterns on the site, but in no personally identifiable way and without using personal data, so we can optimize our web development and content efforts to better meet your needs. Some of these cookies may be set by third parties and you should refer to their website privacy policy for additional information.
  • Advertising and Targeting Cookies. These cookies help us provide relevant advertising to you, measure its effectiveness or limit the number of times you have seen it. They record your visit to our site, including the links you follow to other sites, so that we can tailor our site, communications and advertising or remember whether you have visited the site before.

  • Web Beacons. In addition to cookies, we use other technologies to recognize and track visitors to the site. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML email, typically in conjunction with a cookie. Web beacons allows us certain functionality, for example, monitoring how users move from one page within our website to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.
  • Do Not Track. We do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals. As such, your navigation of our site may be tracked as part of the gathering of quantitative user information described above. If you arrive at our site by way of a link from a third-party site that does respond to “do not track” requests, the recognition of any “do not track” request you have initiated will end as soon as you reach our site.
