5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGY
To help us serve your needs better, we use “cookies” or other tracking technologies on the Site to store and sometimes track Usage Data and click tracking. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A website can use cookies to recognize repeat users or track web usage behavior. Cookies work by assigning a number to the user that has no meaning outside of the assigning website. Please be aware that Usage Data may be automatically collected by virtue of the standard operation of HelloData computer servers or through the use of cookies.
You may control the way in which your devices permit the use of such tracking technologies. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you may be able to configure your browser settings to use the Services without some cookie functionality. You can delete cookies manually or set your browser to automatically delete cookies on a pre-determined schedule. For example, in the Internet Explorer menu bar, select: Tools » Internet Options » Browsing History » Delete to view manual and automatic options. If you so choose, you may refuse the use of or delete cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Services. Users should be aware that HelloData cannot control the use of cookies (or the resulting information) by third parties. The use of Third-Party cookies is not covered by our Privacy Policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies.
When you use the Site, we may also use web beacons to access our cookies. A web beacon is an electronic file on a web page that allows us to count users who have visited that page and to recognize users by accessing our cookies. Further, a web beacon can be used in HTML-formatted email to determine responses to our communications and measure their effectiveness. You can avoid web beacons by turning off HTML display and displaying only the text portion of your email.
We may participate in behavioral-based advertising. This means that a Third-Party may place a cookie on your browser, or use a web beacon, to collect information about your use of our Services so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interest. That advertising may appear either on our Services, or on other websites or apps. If you would like to opt-out from having the behavioral-based advertising companies with whom we have a relationship use your information for advertising purposes you can do so by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance.
We may also use services hosted by third parties, such as Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to assist in providing the Services. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Services. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to, and stored by, Google on their servers. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Services, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. To opt out of tracking by Google Analytics, click here.
Your browser settings may also allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites. Like many websites, HelloData does not use or respond to “Do Not T rack” signals in your web browser. To learn more about “Do Not Track” signals, you can visit https://allaboutdnt.com/.
