What’s a page tag?

“Page tags,” also known as web beacons or gif tags, are a web technology used to help track website or email usage information, such as how many times a specific page or email has been viewed. Page tags are invisible to you, and any portion of the services that Wave Connect offers including advertisements, or e-mail sent on our behalf, may contain page tags.

Does Wave Connect use cookies, and why?

Yes. We use cookies to personalise your experience on our websites (such as dynamically generating content on webpages specifically designed for you), to assist you in using the Wave Connect Service (such as saving time by not having to reenter your name each time you use the chat service), to allow us to statistically monitor how you are using the Wave Connect service so that we can improve our offerings, and to target certain advertisements to your browser which may be of interest to you or to determine the popularity of certain content. By using cookies and page tags together, we are able to improve the Wave Connect service and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.
