Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” based. Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed. Session cookies are deleted automatically once your browser is closed. R2X uses both persistent and session cookies.

We also use technologies that are similar to cookies, such as tags and pixels. Tags are small portions of code which we use on the R2X website to learn whether you have clicked on certain web content. A pixel is a similar type of technology used on the R2X website for the purpose of counting the number of views for each of its published articles. Pixels are sent directly to our servers or to the third-party platform which has provided the pixel.
