Cookies
To enhance your online experience with us, many of our web pages use “cookies.” Cookies are text files placed on your hard disk by our web server to store your preferences. They do not provide any personally identifiable information (such as your email address); however, if you provide this information it can be linked to data stored in the cookies. The Site uses cookies to save you time and improve the content we use. Some advertisements on Waller & Co. might use their own cookies. This policy does not cover or determine how these cookies are used.
Clickstream Data
“Clickstream data” is a trail of electronic information left at each web site you visit. This information can be collected and stored by a web site’s server, and can identify the computer and browsing software you use as well as the web address you linked to www.wallerco.com from. This information is not personally identifiable and anonymously determines how long visitors remain on a page, as well as how they navigate through the site.
Web Beacons
The Site may also use web beacons (also called single pixel gifs or action tags) to track page viewing counts and patterns. This technology is used to help measure and improve the performance of Waller & Co.
