ability to enroll, register or access your accounts online. Information that we may collect about

About “cookies” and Ad Choices on third party sites
Cookies are pieces of data stored on your device. Browser cookies are assigned by a web server to the
browser on your device. When you return to a site you have visited before, your browser gives this
data back to the server. Mobile applications may also use cookies.
We use cookies and information gathered through their use to make your experience with KCG Investment
Advisory and certain other sites richer and more personalized based on the products, services, or
other interaction you have with us and other sites. Information gathered through use of cookies may
be used to make offers to you via online ads, email, U.S. mail, or telephone, subject to any privacy
preferences you have on file with KCG Investment Advisory. We also use cookies, sometimes in
conjunction with service providers, in online advertising either on our own Site or on third party
sites to help determine which of our advertisements are most likely to appeal to you. Information
that we collect about you from one particular browser or device may be used to provide advertising
or collect information on another browser or device. It may also be transferred to a third party for
advertising or information collection on behalf of KCG Investment Advisory. Please note that your
choice to opt out on a particular browser or device will apply only to the collection and use of
information from that particular browser or device. Opting out on a particular device will not opt
you out of information collection on other devices, nor will it limit cross device sharing on those
other devices. Industry standards are currently evolving and we may not separately respond to or
take any action with respect to a “do not track” configuration set in your internet browser.
Other parties that may collect information about your web browsing behavior when you use our Site are
generally limited to service providers who may only use any information collected to provide
services and marketing for us and not to provide services or advertising for any other party. Note,
however, that we also provide certain widgets or tools on our sites, such as tools that allow web
surfers to easily share information on another platform, such as a social media platform. At other
times, information from a third party may be embedded on our site, such as a map or information
streaming from another site, including communications streaming from a third party social media
platform. These widgets, tools, and informational items often function through the use of third
party cookies utilized by the third party site, such as the social media platform. As a result,
these third parties may have access to information about your web browsing on the pages of our Site
where these widgets, tools, or information are placed. You may wish to review information at third
party sites, such as social media platforms where you have an account, to determine how these third
parties treat data that they obtain through the use of cookies.
We also use cookies for purposes such as maintaining continuity during an online session; gathering
data about the use of our site; monitoring online promotions; and anti-fraud and information
security purposes.
Do you have to accept cookies?
You may be able to set your browser to reject browser cookies. However, if you choose to reject
cookies, you cannot access your accounts online with KCG Investment Advisory. Therefore, if you set
your browser options to disallow cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you
visit our Site. The latest versions of internet browsers provide cookie management tools, such as
the ability to delete or reject cookies. We recommend that you refer to information supplied by
browser providers for more specific information, including how to use these tools.
Using information. In addition to the uses described above, we use information for purposes as
allowed by law such as: servicing; communicating with you; improving our Site, products, or
services; legal compliance; risk control; information security; anti-fraud purposes; marketing or
personalizing the presentation of our products and services to you; tracking website usage, such as
number of hits, pages visited, and the length of user sessions in order to evaluate the usefulness
of our sites; and using read-receipt notifications in our email communications.
Sharing
We may share information with service providers with whom we work, such as data processors and
companies that help us market products and services to you. When permitted or required by law, we
may share information with additional third parties for purposes including response to legal
process.
