These technologies are used in order to maintain, provide and improve our Site on an ongoing basis, and in order to provide our Site Users with a better experience (for instance in order to track Site Users’ preferences, to identify technical issues and to monitor and improve the overall performance of our Site).
Please note that third-party services placing cookies or utilizing other tracking technologies on our Site (as noted below) may have their own policies regarding how they collect and store information. Such practices are not covered by our Privacy Policy. For more information about the cookies and other tracking technologies used on our Site, please see more below or our cookie management centre on the footer or the Site.
Cookies
In order for some of these technologies to work properly, a small data file (“cookie”) is stored on your device. By default, we use several persistent cookies for purposes of session authentication, monitoring performance of our services and generally providing and improving our Site.
A number of the cookies we use are strictly necessary in order to provide you with functionality that you request by using our Site. Where cookies are strictly necessary, you cannot block or delete them. However, there are other cookies which we use which are optional. WalkMe refers to such cookies as Advertising Cookies. In addition, as part of our marketing efforts we can engage third-party data brokers, for the purpose of data enrichment activities. Such activities include merging, combining and cross-referencing data from various sources available to third parties such as data brokers with the personal information collected through your use of the Site.
If you want to delete or block any of these cookies, please opt-out using our cookie management centre available on the footer of the Site. Alternatively, you can disable some cookies by referring to the help and support area on your internet browser for instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies (we store the cookies only in the designated place for cookies determined by your browser) or opt-out of receiving interest-based ads by following the links below.

We and certain third-party services may employ a software technology called Web Beacons/Web Bugs or Pixels which enables them and us to improve our Site by measuring effectiveness and performance. Beacons/Pixels are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies.
“Do Not Track” Signals
Some web browsers may transmit Do Not Track signals to websites with which the browser communicates, telling the site not to follow its online movements. Because of differences in how web browsers interpret this feature, it is not always clear whether Site Users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Therefore, we currently do not respond to such Do Not Track signals.
If you wish not to have this information used for the purpose of serving you interest-based ads, you may opt-out by clicking Here (Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)) or Here (Network Advertising Initiative). Please note that this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.
