These are tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable the Firm and MailChimp to recognize when subscribers have opened an e-mail or clicked certain links. These technologies record each subscribers e-mail address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for an e-mail campaign. MailChimp uses this data to create reports for the Firm about how an e-mail campaign performed and what actions subscribers took. The use of these Cookies is subject to such MailChimp’s own cookie policies.
