What Are Cookies and Pixel Tags?
We collect visitor information by using cookies and/or pixel tags. A cookie is a small piece
of information that a web site can send to your browser that is then stored on your computer's hard drive. It identifies your
computer, but not you personally.
Cookies have the ability to store information about web pages viewed and the advertisements
viewed or clicked. For registered clients, cookies also save user information and screen preferences.
You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the
opportunity to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to reject any cookies. Since many web sites use
cookies to allow visitors to navigate more easily, you may find that some web sites or pages do not work as well if you
reject the cookies associated with them.
A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain
pages of our web site but not on your computer. When you access these pages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of that
visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer visits a particular page. If you
turn off cookies the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous web site visit.

Service Providers on the Internet
Occasionally you will notice on www.ResearchExchange.com that services are "powered by" or "provided by" content providers or
technology service partners. We contract with these specialists to help us serve you better. We're highly selective in
choosing these companies, and they are only allowed to use your information for the purpose of providing the services we've

Co-branded and Alliance Relationships
The NRE may establish relationships with other parties on the Internet to bring you benefits of services we may not offer. We
offer you access to these other companies either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from our site, or by offering
"co-branded" sites in which both The NRE and the other company share the same URL, domain name or pages within a domain name
on the Internet and the names or logos of both companies are displayed. Generally, we do not own the co-branded sites and
alliance companies and therefore do not control how those companies use any information you supply them. It's important that
you review their privacy policy to understand how they manage any information you supply them. However, all information
provided to The NRE will always adhere to our Privacy Policy.

by, or the practices, content, or availability of third-party sites, their partners, or advertisers. We encourage you to
review the privacy policies of third parties before providing information on their sites.
