Security Corbis has a number of operational functions in place to protect the confidentiality of personal information. However, perfect security on the Internet does not exist, and Corbis does not warrant that its site is impenetrable or invulnerable to hackers. Corbis also takes stringent measures to protect user-information offline. Access to user information is highly restricted in our offices. When you visit the Corbis Web site, Corbis sends your computer a cookie, which is a small file that resides on your computer's hard drive and contains non-personally identifiable information about the user.
Cookies only identify the user's computer.
Cookies allow Corbis to make its Web site more useful by storing information about your preferences. For example, if you select images and add them to your portfolio, Corbis will send your computer a cookie that identifies the images you have placed in your portfolio. You can set your browser's options not to accept cookies, but this may prevent you from accessing all of the features of the Corbis Web site. Additionally, this site uses clear gifs, or pixel tags, provided by our adserving company to help manage our on-line advertising. These clear GIFS allow our adserving company to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits this site.
