Cookie Usage Information
This website uses cookies to personalize content and analyze our traffic and this notice explains what cookies are and the types of cookies Capstone Investment Advisors, LLC uses on www.capstoneco.com and the webpages accessible through www.capstoneco.com (collectively, the “Sites”). The cookies are designed to customize and improve users’ visits to our Sites, to deliver content tailored to users’ interests and the manner in which they browse our Sites, and to manage our Sites and other aspects of our business.
What Are Cookies?
A “cookie” is a file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Those cookies are set by us and are called first party cookies – we currently do not use any first party cookies.
We also use third party cookies – these are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting or a domain we are not operating – for example to protect the security of our website.
What Types of Cookies Are Used on the Sites and How Do We Use Them
We use strictly necessary cookies to: (i) detect non-logged in users and to restrict access to secure areas; (ii) provide notification when an administrator logs in from a new device or location; and (iii) provide two-factor authentication. Strictly necessary cookies always need to be on.
We use non-essential (non-strictly necessary) cookies to gather statistics and analytics information about you as a user, including how you got to the website, the pages you visit and how long you spend on each page, and what you click on, so that we can understand how you use the website.
Cookies may be first party or third party, meaning they are operated by us (first party) or by another party (third party). We currently do not use any first party cookies. Please note that interactions with the third party cookies on our website are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the third party as set out below.
Managing Cookies
On your first visit to our website and every six months thereafter, on the homepage you will see a cookie banner informing you why cookies are used, and asking you to consent to each non-essential cookie if you agree with us using them (or “Accept All Non-Essential Cookies”). If you do not agree, you can select which ones to reject or accept or you can choose to “Reject All Non-Essential Cookies”.
You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie banner, where you have the option of opting-in or opting-out to the use of non-essential cookies on your device. However, you can also update your cookie preferences at all times by using the button at the bottom left of this page.
