Cookly cookies, web beacons and similar technologies

Updated: Effective on December 10, 2020

Hi, we’re Cookly. You’re probably here because you’re interested to know more about how we use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies. As a part of our commitment to upholding a high standard of transparency in our  Privacy Policy, we’ve created this guide to explain the tracking technologies we use on our sites.

Just to be clear, our sites include all those that are owned and operated within the Cookly Group like www.cookly.me

What are cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies?

Typically, there are two types of tracking technologies we might use on our sites:

1. Cookies: these aren’t the type you eat they’re actually a small data file sent from a server to your web browser or mobile device that is stored on your browser cache or mobile device. There are ways you can control your cookies preferences and set whether you want to accept or reject cookies (see what your options are below).
2. Clear gifs, web beacons, web bugs: These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the movements of web users between pages and websites. Unlike cookies, which are cached on a user’s computer, clear gifs, web beacons and web bugs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of a single pixel.

What do we do with these technologies?

We use these tracking technologies for a few general purposes like:

1. To allow our sites to function correctly.
2. To understand how our sites are functioning and to inform any improvements in performance and our services.
3. To enhance your experience on our sites and provide functionality that means for example you don’t have to re-enter your details each time you engage with our sites or to record what purchases you’ve made on our sites.
4. To gather relevant data that helps us deliver marketing and advertising content relevant to your interests.

We might sometimes partner with third-party services who may use various tracking technologies to provide certain services or features on our sites, including targeted online marketing or relevant on-site messaging. These third-party services use cookies to anonymously collect data and allow them to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit any of our sites. No personally identifiable information is collected by these cookies. The anonymous data they collect is kept separate from the personal information about you as a user that we collect.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
