What are cookies?
Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored on your hard drive or browser (or other Internet-enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Websites. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website from which the cookie has come from, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e. how long the cookie will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
Cookies enable our Websites to identify your computer, as you navigate different pages on our Websites, and recognise that you have visited before. Cookies themselves do not contain any directly identifiable personal information. However, we may link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our Websites.
From time to time we may also use other technologies to log and collect data in order to analyse traffic to our Websites. These technologies will regularly only allow for a non-directly identifiable notice of your visit to be generated. However, in some instances they may allow us to obtain details about your IP address and to track visits to our Websites. In conjunction with cookies, this will enable us to identify what portions of our Websites are of interest to our visitors and to help us provide you with tailored information from our Websites.

What type of Cookies Zayo may place on your device?

They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around or Websites. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know
when you have visited our Websites, and will not be able to monitor their performance.
Marketing/Targeting Cookies: These cookies allow us to build a profile of your interests and to direct you to relevant products and/or services which we offer. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser, or any Internet-enabled device(s) you may have used to visit our Websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted

When you visit our Websites you may receive cookies from third party websites or domains. We may have links to other organisations’ websites, apps, or social plug-ins. When we include these links, it gives those sites the flexibility to use cookies. They cannot read any cookies we set from the our Websites, and we cannot read any cookies they set, but it lets them do the same kind of traffic measuring that we do on our Websites. Other websites and services may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
You should check the relevant third party’s website for more information about these cookies. The relevant third party is responsible for providing you with information regarding their use of cookies on their website and in respect of obtaining your consent before placing cookies on your browser, or any Internet-enabled device(s) you may have used to visit, or taking you to, their website.
