What is a Cookie? Why Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies are fundamental to how the Web operates today. They are small pieces of data that are downloaded to your computer’s hard drive, tablet or phone (collectively, “Device”) when you visit a website or application (collectively, “Sites”). Cookies are designed to reliably record functional activity such as traveling through multiple web pages, logging into a web platform, or placing items into a digital shopping cart.

We use cookies for a variety of purposes. In order to provide, maintain and improve the Box Services, we and our third-party partners, Vendors or Service Providers (collectively, “Third Parties”) may save cookies to your Device. We may also utilize similar cookie technologies (e.g., web beacons, tracking pixels, images, and scripts). These technologies are used to help deliver cookies, gather usage data, analyze performance data and assist with managing information or features on our Sites.

More information about cookies can be found at https://www.aboutcookies.org/ and at http://www.aboutads.info/consumers.

What Cookies Do We Use?

Cookies set by us are called “First-Party Cookies”. We utilize a variety of First-Party Cookies to power, improve and enable core Box Services. We use First-Party Cookies when you access our site, utilize an in-app product offering or visit other sites and apps that integrate with the Box Services. Many of our cookies are required for reasons that are “strictly necessary” for the Box Services to operate, and we refer to these as “Strictly-Necessary Cookies”. We also set functionality cookies which enhance the performance and functionality of the Box Services, and analytics cookies.

Box also utilizes cookies created by Third Parties (also described as, “Third-Party Cookies”). Third-Party Cookies may be utilized for the purpose of engaging in marketing campaigns, customizing your website experience or notifying you about the Box Services. For more information about how Third Parties handle information collected by Third-Party Cookies, please see their respective Privacy Policies.

The chart below describes the First-Party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies served through the Box Services, including the Third Parties who serve them, their purpose, and how you can manage them.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

At Box, we respect the privacy rights of users and recognize the importance of protecting your personal information. We may use your digital activity collected by Third-Party Cookies to enhance, customize, improve and notify you about our Services. Please view our Privacy Notice to learn more about what information is collected, retained, used, disclosed, and transferred by Box.

Sharing digital activity in this manner may be considered a "sale" under the California Consumer Privacy Act. We put "sale" in quotation marks because CCPA expands the definition of sale to include common industry practices such as collecting your digital activity when you view our webinars, download our White Papers, decide to contact us utilizing our portal or by our third-party Service Providers. Although money does not exchange hands when we do so, CCPA considers this widely used practice as a "sale".

California residents may choose to opt-out from the "sale" or sharing of their digital activity by using the information in the table above or by changing your browser settings as noted in the “Cookie Choices and How to Opt Out” section below. Choosing to opt-out of cookies may adversely affect your experience navigating our marketing and community web pages by diminishing some functions and our sites may not work as intended. Additionally, opting out will only prevent targeted ads, but you may continue to see generic, non-targeted ads after you have opted out.

Information collected by Third-Party Cookies are subject to the Third Party’s Privacy Policy, and are not subject to Box’s Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice. Should you opt out of Third Party Cookies, we will block and disable these cookies from collecting additional information when visiting our sites. However, your information collected by Third Parties prior to opting out may still be utilized as such previously-collected information may remain saved on your device. You may find additional resources regarding specific Third-Party Cookies we utilize in the table above.
