Cookies

Like many websites, we use “cookies,” small text files stored on your computer or device when you visit certain online pages that record your preferences. We use cookies to monitor traffic, enhance the website, and improve its relevance for your use. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.

In addition, we may use web beacons or flash cookies. A web beacon or flash cookie (also known as an “action tag,” “tracer tag,” or “single-pixel GIF”) is an invisible graphic on a web page or email newsletter programmed to collect non-personally identifiable information about your use of a given page or newsletter, such as whether an email was opened. Like cookies, web beacons allow Blackstone and its technology providers to analyze usage patterns and provide personalized services. We do not share personally identifiable information collected through web beacons, such as names or email addresses, without your consent.

Children’s Personal Information

While our website may be viewed by children, it is not specifically aimed at children, and we do not actively seek to collect information from children. Children under 13 are required to obtain permission from a parent or guardian before providing any personal information.

If you are located outside the U.S. and voluntarily provide personal information, you consent to the general use of that information as outlined in this Privacy Policy and to its transfer to and storage in the United States.
