When you visit the Thomson Reuters website, several tracking tools are active on the page, including one that records a sample of user sessions and captures how you interact with the site. A cookie consent tool is present to manage some of these trackers.

Session replay technology can capture detailed behavioral data including mouse movements, clicks, and potentially form field interactions, which goes beyond standard analytics; the presence of Facebook tracking also means browsing behavior may be shared with Meta for advertising purposes.
Interpretive note: The tracking technologies are identified from the page source rather than from an explicit privacy or cookie disclosure in the terms of use text itself; the full scope of data collected, retention periods, and third-party sharing arrangements would require review of the separate Thomson Reuters privacy policy and cookie policy.
