HOW LOCAL STORAGE WORKS?

We embed a localStorage based tracking code on our website. When visitors come to the website, localStorage is placed in the web browser and the tracking code sends information to Studykay about that visitor’s web activity. Studykay also tracks opens of emails, clicks on any of the hyperlinks included, and other email activity.

6. WHAT INFORMATION DOES STUDYKAY COLLECT?

a. When tracking code is added to a page, Studykay automatically gathers the following information:

Page visits
Time of each page visit
IP Address
User ID
