AddThis [...] AddThis is a third party plug-in, which provides a suite of technologies to be made available on a website that allow a website user to share, follow, view, recommend and interact with content and allow AddThis to collect information from the website user as a result of the website user's visit to the website.

AddThis tools collect information on websites, do not directly identify an individual and are instead designed to identify the device used by the website user interacting with the website. When a website user visits this website, AddThis tools collect data via cookies and pixels (Clear GIFs/Web Beacons).

When a website user uses the AddThis tools on a website to share information and content (e.g., to share content to Facebook), the website user is redirected through the website before the website user is directed to the destination website.

Data may consist of the following:
  • Internet Protocol address (IP-address), Mobile Ad ID (MAID), browser type, browser language, type of operating system, the date and time the website user visited the website, and behavior on the website, such as how long the website user visited the website;
  • The web search the website user used to locate and navigate to the website;
  • Information regarding how often a website user uses the AddThis tools; and
  • Geo-location data derived from a website user's Internet Protocol address (IP-address).

Following is a description of the types of cookies used by the AddThis tools on websites:
  • Analytics Cookies — When an website user visits a website, AddThis places an analytics cookie on the website user's device that helps AddThis provide insights on website users' activities on a website, including how frequently a website user's device has visited or how the website user's device has interacted with the website.
  • Market Research Cookies — When an website user visits a website, AddThis may also place a market research cookie on the website user's device, or enable one of AddThis' partners to place such a cookie. Market research cookies are similar to analytics cookies in that they count how frequently a website user has visited a website, but these cookies also enable market research companies to evaluate the success of particular marketing programs by collecting aggregate data across multiple websites.
  • Targeted Advertising Cookies — When a website user visits a website that has AddThis tools enabled, AddThis also places a targeted advertising cookie on the website user's device that helps AddThis to deliver or enable the delivery of advertising that is customized to the website user's interests and to keep track of how many ads website users have seen.
