Like most website operators, GlobalPitch.com automatically gathers information of the sort that browsers automatically make available, including: (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) types of computers accessing the Website; and (iv) types of Web browsers accessing the Website (collectively 'Traffic Data').

The purpose of a Cookie is to identify the user as a unique user of the Website. GlobalPitch.com uses Cookies to customize your experience on the Website to your interests, to ensure that you do not see the same advertisements or informational messages repeatedly, and to store your password, if any, so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Website.
