Cookies and how we use them: Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier that is sent from our server to your browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page of our website from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
Cookies don’t typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
We may also use cookies for purposes of personalizing your experience on our website, or for providing online behavioral advertising such a retargeting or remarketing. These uses provide you with additional opportunities to take advantage of our services or products and provide us with additional opportunities to reach you with personalized offers more tailored to your interests. Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies (e.g. on their own sites). Forefront does not control any third party’s use of such cookies and we expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected by or through them.
Who we share your data with
We do have to share your data with other companies that help us run our business by processing the above data and information on our behalf for the purposes explained above.

If you wish you can contact us and request that we immediately delete your data after your account is closed. Be aware that canceling your subscription is not the same thing as closing your account and will not result in the deletion of your data.

This type of data is used by us for monitoring and troubleshooting and will not be deleted when you close your account.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We implement and continue to update strict safeguard features such as using SSL to transmit data, requiring ssh keys to access all servers, limiting access to servers and databases to only approved IP addresses. We also have policies and procedures in place to ensure that our employees, contractors, and agents only have access to the information they need and that they respect and protect your privacy.
Do not track signals
While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets you tell websites that you do not want to be tracked online, these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard. Therefore, we can not commit to always responding to the browsers “DNT” signal. We do take your choice to not be tracked seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and implementation of a standard.
