Cookies 
GOJO uses cookies to improve its web site by making it more enjoyable and productive for visitors. To do this, GOJO may store some information on your computer when you view the web site or any interactive advertisement. These small text files, commonly known as "cookies," help GOJO improve your visit in many ways.

Most browsers can be configured to reject cookies or inform users when cookies are being sent.

Web Beacons
Web beacons are site instrumentation that helps GOJO to determine the kind of response the online activities generate. For example, web beacons can document how many times a page has been viewed or how many of the e-mails, requested by visitors, are actually opened. Generally, any electronic image that is part of a web page or html-based e-mail, including ad banners, can act as a web beacon.
