What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files sent to and stored on your computer or mobile device from our servers. They are widely used to make websites and cloud-based services work better and more efficiently. For example, they can recognize you and remember important information that will make using a website or cloud-based service more convenient (e.g., by allowing you to enter a password less frequently or remembering your user preferences). Taken alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your Web browser. You remain anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself to bebo Foundation by filling out a web form or have previously identified yourself to us.
What Cookies Do We Use?
We use different types of cookies on our Sites to make your interaction with our Sites easy and meaningful – strictly necessary cookies, functionality cookies, analytics cookies, and advertising cookies. The Sites may include first-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data directly to bebo Foundation and its agents and contractors acting on our behalf, including cookies used to monitor, analyze, and administer the Sites) and third-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data to our contractors for their commercial use). We use cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level (see Section 4 below for instructions on how to do so), but note that if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Sites.
Below we describe the different types of cookies we may use on the Sites and our purpose for using them. You have the ability to opt out and limit which cookies apply to your use of our Sites – more information on how to change your browser’s cookie settings are provided in Section 3 below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies - Some cookies are essential to the operation of our Sites. They facilitate our log-in process, authenticate users, and enable you to navigate the Sites and use their features. They are also used by our customer service team for in-product messaging and analytics. Without these cookies, we may not be able to provide certain services or features, and the Sites may not perform as smoothly for you as we would like. Because strictly necessary cookies are essential to operate our services on the Sites, if you choose to use a service on our Sites, there is no option to opt out of these cookies.
Functionality Cookies - In some circumstances, we may use functionality cookies. Functionality cookies allow us to remember the choices you make while browsing the Sites and to provide enhanced and more personalized content and features, such as customizing a certain webpage or application page, remembering if we have asked you to participate in a promotion, and for other services you request, like watching a video or commenting on a blog. To permit your connection to the Sites, our servers receive and record information about your computer and browser, potentially including your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. These features help us improve your visit and assist in navigating the site’s features. To manage functionality cookies on our Sites or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions in Section 4 of this Privacy and Cookie Policy. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.
Analytics Cookies - We and our service providers may use analytics cookies, sometimes called performance cookies, to collect information about your use of the Sites and enable us to improve how they work. Analytics cookies collect information about how you use the Sites, for instance, which pages you go to most. The information allows us to see the overall usage patterns, helps us record any difficulties users may have while using the Sites, and shows us whether or not our advertising is effective. To manage the use of analytics cookies on our Sites or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions in Section 4 of this Privacy and Cookie Policy. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.
Advertising Cookies - We may also use cookies and similar tools to correlate your use of the Sites with personal information obtained about you. For example, suppose you have asked us to provide information about our services or any promotions. In that case, we may utilize our cookie and/or clickstream data about your activities when you engage with us on the Sites. By evaluating this information, we may more clearly target the information we provide to the items we think you will find interesting based on your prior online activities and preferences. We also use third-party advertising cookies. We and our service providers may use advertising cookies to deliver ads that we believe are more relevant to you and your interests.
To manage advertising cookies on our Sites or to opt out of their use, follow the instructions in Section 4 of this Privacy and Cookie Policy. Note that opting out may impact the functionality you receive when using our Sites.
Third-Party Cookies on the Sites
In some circumstances, we may work with third parties to provide services on our Sites. For example, we use analytics services supported by third-party companies that generate analytics cookies on our behalf. We may not have access to these cookies. However, we may use statistical information from the cookies these third parties provided to customize content and for the other purposes described above. These companies may also transfer this information to other parties where required by law or where other parties process the information on their behalf. We may not control these third-party cookies, and their use may be governed by the privacy policies of the third parties employing these cookies.
