Use of Cookies

This notice provides you with information about how AT&T websites use cookies and other similar online tracking technologies. Let's start with what we mean when we use the word "cookie" and other related terms:

  • Cookies are small data files. Websites place them in your browser to recognize your computer or mobile device when you return to that site.

  • In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, flash cookies, local storage, and local shared objects.

  • We use the data collected from cookies and other similar online tracking technologies described above for two categories of purposes:    
    • Functional Purposes. We use cookies to provide website functionality, including, for example, remembering user preferences, monitoring site performance, and analytics. You cannot decline our use of cookies for these purposes.
    • Marketing Purposes. We also use data collected from cookies for marketing purposes, including to show you advertising based on your preferences and interests. You can opt out of our use of cookies for these purposes; however, this will not prevent ads from being presented to you. Opting out of this use means you’ll still see ads, but they will not be tailored to you and your interests.
  • We may use attributes from your web page, like location data from your ISP, to show you relevant offers or information. This process does not use cookies, web beacons, or other similar tracking technologies.
