What types of technologies does Sauce Labs use?
There are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are cookies that disappear from your computer or browser when you close your browser (like when you turn off your computer). Persistent cookies stay on your computer even after you close your browser or turn off your computer.
Web beacons are clear electronic images with a unique identifier that can recognize certain types of data on your computer (similar to how cookies do). We use web beacons to operate and improve our websites and email communications, including to help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and email campaign effectiveness. For example, we may put web beacons in marketing emails to notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to our websites.
JavaScript is a computer programming language most commonly used as a part of web pages, so that it can make dynamic pages tailored to the visitor of a webpage. You can turn off your browser’s ability to load JavaScript. An example of how to do so is available here. Since JavaScript is used in many web pages, turning off JavaScript will likely render many websites less functional.
