COOKIE POLICY
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Effective Date August 03, 2020, updated on August 03, 2020
When you visit Leeward’s website, www.leewardx.com, or the Leeward Candidate or Vendor Portal, we and our service providers acting on our behalf automatically collect certain data using tracking technologies like cookies and web beacons. This notice describes what tracking technologies we use and what we use them for.
What’s a Cookie?
A cookie is a piece of data contained in a very small text file that is stored in your browser or elsewhere on your hard drive. Cookies allow Leeward to identify your device as you navigate through our publicly accessible website (the Leeward Site) or our account, candidate, or vendor portal. We also use them to recognize return visitors to the Leeward Site. This helps make navigating and interacting with the Leeward Site and our account portal more efficient, easy and meaningful.
By themselves, cookies do not identify you specifically. Rather, they recognize your web browser. So, unless you identify yourself specifically to Leeward, like signing into the account portal, we don’t know who you are just because you visited the Leeward Site.
Leeward uses both session and persistent cookies. Session cookies are cookies that disappear from your computer or browser when you turn off your computer. Persistent cookies stay on your computer even after you’ve turned it off.
You can turn off your web browser’s ability to accept cookies. But, if you do that, certain parts of the Leeward Site or account portal may not work for you.
Required cookies make it possible for you to access our account portal, navigate within the portal, and access information related to your account.
Each time you log into the account portal, a cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account is placed on your browser. These cookies allow Leeward to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the account portal and to process your online transactions and requests.
You can use your browser settings to opt out of functionality cookies. For more information on how to do that, click http://www.aboutcookies.org/
Note that opting out may affect the functionality of our Site or account portal for you.
You can use your browser settings to opt out of performance cookies. For more information on how to do that, please visit:

What’s a Web Beacon?
We use web beacons along with cookies to gather data about use of the Leeward Site and account portal and interaction with emails from Leeward. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of data on your computer, like cookies, when you viewed a particular website tied to the web beacon, and a description of a website tied to the web beacon. For example, we may put web beacons in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to the Leeward Site or one of its pages. We use web beacons to operate and improve the Leeward Site and email communications.
What we do with IP Addresses
When you visit the Leeward Site, account portal, candidate portal, vendor portal, or use our products and services, like our APIs, we collect your IP addresses to track and analyze information about the devices that are connecting to our systems and about where those devices are located. For example, we use IP addresses to track which regions visitors to our Leeward Site or Customers logging into our account portal come from and to detect possible fraud.
How We Treat Do Not Track Signals / California Do Not Track Disclosure
Various browsers allow a “do not track” (DNT) setting that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites visited by the individual about the individual’s browser DNT setting. At this time, there is no general agreement on how companies like Leeward should interpret Do Not Track signals. Therefore, Leeward does not currently commit to respond to DNT signals, whether that signal is received on a computer or on a mobile device. Leeward does, however provide meaningful choices to you about the information that is collected through cookies and web beacons through the various opt-out options set forth above. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
