This cookie policy explains how we use cookies and other similar
technologies when you use our service, what tracking technologies
are and why we use them. It also explains how you can control their

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device
(eg computer, smartphone or other
electronic device) when you visit our website to store a range of
information, for example, your language preference, or browser and
device you are using to view the website.
Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies.
We also use third party cookies, which are cookies from a
domain different that the domain of our website, for our advertising
and marketing efforts.
Session cookies
expire each time you close your browser and do not remain on your
device afterwards. These cookies allow our website to link your
actions during a particular browser session.
Persistent cookies
will remain on your device for a period of time, and will expire on
a set expiration date, or when you delete them manually from your
cache. These cookies are stored on your device in between browser
sessions and allow your preferences and actions across our website
to be remembered.

Web beacon
is a small, transparent image (also known as “pixel tag”, “web bug”,
“GIF”) that contain a unique identifier. It is embedded into a website
or an email. When your browser reads the code of the website it
communicates with our server in order to display the image and,
through this process, we are able to acquire information such as
technical specifications of your device, operating systems and
settings being used. It can also track your activities during a
session. Also, it enables us to recognize when each email was opened,
from what IP address and from what device. We use this information to
improve our email communication.
·
Software development kits (SDK)
are third-party software development kits that may be installed in
our mobile applications. SDKs help us understand how you interact with
our mobile applications and collect certain information about the
device and network you use to access the application.
·
Local shared objects, commonly called “Flash cookies”, are pieces of data that websites
which use Adobe Flash may store on a user's computer to
facilitate the Flash functionality. We may use Adobe Flash to display
graphics, interactive animations and other enhanced functionality.
Local shared objects can track similar parameters to cookies but they
can also provide information on your use of the specific feature that
the cookie is enabling. For example, if it facilitates the display of
a video then we can receive details of how much of the video was
watched and when viewing stopped.
·
HTML5 local storage. HTML 5 is the fifth version of the HTML language and contains
functionality that allows information to be stored locally within the
browser’s data files. HTML5 local storage operates in a similar way to
cookies but differs in that it can hold greater amounts of information
and does not rely on an exchange of data with the website’s server.
·
Fingerprinting
is a technique that involves combining a set of information elements
in order to uniquely identify a particular device. These information
elements include, for example: data from configuration of the device,
CSS information, JavaScript objects, installed fonts, installed
plugins with the browser, use of any APIs, HTTP header information,
clock information.
·
Device Identifiers
are identifiers comprised of numbers and letters, which are unique to
each specific device. These include Apple’s ID for Advertisers (IDFA)
and Google’s Android Advertising ID (AAID). They are stored on the
device and are used to recognize you and your devices across different
apps and devices for marketing and advertising purposes. You can reset
device your identifier or opt out of personalized advertising in the
settings of your device.
