What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies send information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie, to develop a record of the user’s online activity. Cookies can be first-party cookies (set by the PeerStreet site) or third-party cookies (set by another website). Cookies may also set when you open emails from us.
What is a Pixel?
A pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.
