Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts are used by Whitestone and our partners, affiliates, or analytics or service providers such as Google Analytics. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site. However, We do not link the information We store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. These cookies are deployed to help streamline the use of our website and remember certain information about you to make navigation easier. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” directory. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as filling out forms, will be limited.
We use Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.
As is true of most websites, We gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
We partner with a third-party ad network to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites.

The security of your personal information is important to Us. When you enter information on our online forms, We encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to Us, both during transmission and once We receive it.
