Cookie Policy

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

1.1. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device (computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other device) by websites you visit. Cookies often contain a unique identifier and may be used to remember your activities and preferences across the Site and related services.

1.2. “Tracking technologies” or “Trackers” refer to a broader set of tools including cookies, pixel tags, beacons, scripts, device identifiers, mobile SDKs, and similar technologies which may be used both in web and mobile environments. These technologies may collect, process, and store data about your interaction with our Site, including your device, browser, activity, and usage patterns.

1.3. For simplicity, all such technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies.” Some may require your consent; you can withdraw or change that consent at any time as described below.

1.4. For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps as they are a browser-based Tracker.

1.5. For this reason, within this policy the term “Cookies” is only used where it specifically refers to that particular type of Tracker. Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.

1.6. This Application uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.

1.7. The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.

1.8. Users may find more precise and updated information regarding the lifetime and purpose of specific Trackers in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

1.9. Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. Videfy respects DNT browser settings where technically feasible. Where a valid DNT signal is received, Videfy will not place non-essential tracking technologies on your device during that browsing session. Strictly necessary cookies are not affected by DNT signals.
