Table Of Contents
We use “cookies” and similar technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) on our website, www.glofox.com (“Site”). A cookie is a small text file containing information that our Site transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes, to allow us to distinguish you from other Site visitors and allows us to analyze traffic patterns to our Site. These types of cookies do not contain chocolate chips, you cannot eat them and there is no hidden jar. First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by others, such as analytics providers or advertisers.
Most browsers can be set to detect cookies and give you an opportunity to reject them, but refusing cookies may, in some cases, inhibit or preclude your use of our Site, Platform, or their features. You can learn more about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Terms not defined in this Cookies Policy will have the same meanings as described in the Glofox Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to improve your access to our Site (for example, by storing your username so you can log in more easily), and to allow you to share Site content with social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of visitors to our Site so that we can provide more customized content. Cookies can also be used for analytical purposes such as evaluating the way you use our Site or our services, or to measure the effectiveness of our advertising (including making advertising personal to you).
Cookies We Use
There are different types of cookies and other technologies used on our Site:
- Session Cookies. These cookies only last as long as your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies. These cookies stay on your computer or device after your browser has been closed and last for a time specified in the cookie. We use persistent cookies when we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, we use them to remember your preferences for the next time you visit.
- Web Beacons/Pixels. Some of our web pages and emails may also contain small electronic images known as web beacons, clear GIFs, or single-pixel GIFs. These images typically work in conjunction with cookies to collect data, such as counting the number of users who have visited a web page or opened or acted upon one of our emails.
Analytics / Performance Cookies
We also use the following analytic tools to help us analyze the performance of our Site and services as well as how visitors use our Site and services:
- Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our Site, what pages they visit when they do, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our Site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the Site will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If you access our Site through different devices, Google may associate your devices with one another. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use.
To opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This will allow you to download and install a Google Analytics cookie-free web browser.
- Social Network Cookies. Our content pages allow you to share content appearing on our Site to your social media accounts through the “Like,” “Tweet,” or similar buttons displayed on such pages. To accomplish this, we embed code that such third-party social networks provide and that we do not control. These buttons know that you are logged in to your social network account and therefore such social networks could also know that you are viewing our Site.
How to Control Cookies
You can exercise your cookie preferences by activating the setting on your web browser that allows you to refuse the setting of some or all of our cookies. If you block all cookies, you may not be able to access or use some parts of our Site or the Platform. Blocking or deleting cookies will not prevent device identification and related data collection from occurring when you visit our Site or access our Platform.
Opting-Out from Advertising
If you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by certain entities during your visits to our Site or other websites, please visit https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that contains mechanisms for choosing whether each listed entity may collect and use data for online behavioral advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our Site do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies. Opting out from interest-based advertising from one or more advertising networks will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site or on other websites or applications. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (contextually based ads).
