Cookie Policy
Last Updated Thursday, December 8, 2022
This Cookie Policy describes the way in which CapperTek (otherwise referred to herein as "We", "Us", or "Website") will use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our Website, or any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate (collectively, the "Site(s)"), when you use the CapperTek mobile app, and/or interact with CapperTek online advertisements or marketing emails (collectively the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded onto your
computer or mobile device when you visit certain websites. When you return to
these websites, or visit other websites that use the same cookies, the websites
recognize these cookies and your browsing device. A cookie cannot read data
off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites. Cookies
set by the website operator are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by
parties other than the website operator are called "third party cookies". The
parties that set third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it
visits the CapperTek website and when it visits certain other websites and/or
mobile apps. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies
as non-personal information. However, to the extent that IP addresses or similar
identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat
these identifiers as personal information. If we combine non-personal information
with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal
information for as long as it remains combined. More information on cookies
and their use can be found at
AboutCookies.org
or AllAboutCookies.org.
2. Why do we use cookies?
When you access our Services, we or companies we work with may place cookies
on your computer or other device. These technologies help us better understand
user behavior, and inform us about which parts of our websites people have visited.
We use first party and third party cookies to recognize you as a CapperTek customer,
customize CapperTek Services, content, and advertising, to measure promotional
effectiveness, and to collect information about your computer or other access
device to mitigate risk, help prevent fraud, and promote trust and safety. We
may place cookies from third-party service providers who may use information
about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for products and
services available from CapperTek. We do not control the types of information
collected and stored by these third-party cookies. You should check the third-party's
website for more information on how they use cookies. The following are some
examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
We may collect and store details of how you use our Services. Except in limited
instances to ensure quality of our Services over the Internet, such information
will not be associated with your IP address. We may collect information such
as your language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL,
location, and the time zone so that we can better understand customer behavior
and improve our Services. We may collect information regarding customer activities
on our website, which is used to understand which parts of our Sites and Services
are of most interest. This data is aggregated, and thus is considered non-personal
information for the purposes of this Cookie Policy.
3. What types of cookies do we use?
We use the following types of cookies: Strictly Necessary Cookies These cookies
are essential because they enable you to move around our Services and use certain
features on our Services. For example, strictly necessary cookies allow you
to access secure areas. Without these cookies, some Services cannot be provided.
Performance/Analytics Cookies These cookies collect information about how you
use a website. For example, a performance/analytics cookie will collect information
about which pages you go to most often, how much time you spend on that page,
or if you get error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not gather
information that identifies you. The information these cookies collect is anonymous
and is only used to improve how our Services work. Functionality Cookies These
cookies allow us to remember the choices you make and to tailor our Services
so we can provide relevant content to you. For example, a functionality cookie
can remember your preferences (e.g., country or language selection), or your
username. Session Cookies. We use session cookies when you access our website
or content. Session cookies expire and no longer have any effect when you log
out of your account or close your browser.
4. How long will cookies stay on my browsing device?
The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether
it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on
your device until you stop browsing. Persistent cookies stay on your browsing
device until they expire or are deleted (i.e. after you have finished browsing).
5. What other similar technologies do we use?
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, like web beacons
to track users of our Services. Web beacons, or "clear gifs," are tiny graphics
with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. They are used to track
the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored
on a user's computer hard drive or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly
on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
We and our third-party service provider employ web beacons for the reasons stated
above (under "Cookies"), but primarily to help us better manage content on our
Services by informing us which content is effective. We may also use so-called
"Flash Cookies" (also known as "Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and
store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other
site operations.
6. Do we use advertising cookies?
CapperTek uses third party service providers to display advertising on our Services
and serve advertising on other third party sites that are more relevant to you
or your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an
advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising
campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information
may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. This means that
after you have been to our websites, you may see some advertisements about our
Services elsewhere on the Internet. The information collected through this process
by the third party service providers does not enable us or them to identify
your name, contact details or other personal information that directly identifies
you unless you choose to provide these. Such advertising will only be delivered
where permitted by applicable law.
7. Will this cookie policy be updated?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example,
changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory
reasons. If we do, you will be notified when you first visit our website after
the change. You can also revisit this page if you wish to keep yourself informed.
THE SECTION TITLES IN THE COOKIE POLICY ARE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY AND HAVE NO LEGAL OR CONTRACTUAL EFFECT.
