3. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites function, to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on the Services. First-party cookies are cookies that are placed on your device by us, while third-party Cookies are placed by parties other than SimplyBe.. Third-Party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Services (for example advertising, interactive content, interaction with social media sites, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or mobile device both when you use the Services, and also when you visit certain other websites. SimplyBe. does not control how third-party cookies are used, and we encourage you to check the websites of any third-party providers for more information about how they use cookies.

Generally, information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies does not constitute personal information as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable privacy laws. However, if such collected information does constitute personal information (such as ‘IP’ addresses or similar identifiers), we will treat it as personal information in accordance with the Privacy Notice.

4. How long will cookies stay on my browsing device?

Our retention periods for cookie information depend on whether the cookie is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. We use “persistent cookies” to save information about you for longer periods of time, while “session” cookies are deleted when you close your browser or after a short period of time. Persistent cookies are stored for varied lengths of time depending on the purpose of the cookie collection and tool used. You can delete cookie data as described herein.

5. Why does SimplyBe. use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. SimplyBe. uses cookies to help it understand how the Services are being used, such as whether you spent more time on a certain part of the Services, whether you experienced any technical issues, and more. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for the Services to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience of the Services. Third parties serve cookies through the Services for advertising, analytics and other purposes.

6. What types of cookies does SimplyBe. use?

We use the cookies described below on the Services:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to requests to provide the Services. Strictly necessary cookies allow you to use the Services and to enable access to various features such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms, creating a unique user session, and enabling access to secure areas. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Services will not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. SimplyBe. uses these cookies directly.

Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance and improve the performance of the Services but are not essential. These cookies collect information that helps us understand how the Services are being used by our customers and how effective our marketing campaigns are. These cookies may collect ‘IP’ addresses and may generate unique identifiers to analyze how frequently you visit the Services, and gather other metrics such as page views. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited the Services, and will not be able to monitor the performance of the Services.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Services to provide enhanced functionality and personalized features. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Although these cookies are not strictly necessary, if you disable them, certain functionality may not be available to you on the Services.

Targeting Cookies

Targeting cookies are used by our advertising and marketing partners and work primarily through uniquely identifying your device (e.g., advertising ID, ‘IP’ address, geolocation), and are used to build a profile of your interests. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising while using the Services.

Use of Local Storage

Cookies are not the only way to store information on your computer or mobile device. SimplyBe. may store additional information that is essential to the functionality of the Services in local storage. Local storage is similar to the storage of information in cookies, but never expires until the Services delete this information, or you delete it yourself. Please refer to the instructions specific to the type of browser you are using, or the specific mobile phone operating system you are using for instructions on how to delete local storage.

Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to track visitors to a website. SimplyBe. and our third party partners may use other similar technologies such as clear GIFs (also known as “tracking pixels” and “web beacons”). Clear GIFs are small graphics files that contain an identifier that recognizes when a user visits the Services. This allows our third-party partners to monitor traffic patterns between websites, communicate with cookies, to understand if you have come from an advertisement displayed on a third party website, to monitor the success of marketing campaigns and to improve site performance. These technologies typically rely on cookies to function, so disabling cookies in your browser will impair their functionality.

7. How can you manage cookies via your browser settings?

You have the right to decide whether to allow cookies when using the Services. Most browsers allow you to control cookies as part of their settings and preferences. Please refer to your specific browser for instructions on how to disable, limit and delete cookies.

8. How can I opt-out of interest-based advertising cookies?

We do not control interest-based advertising cookies on the Services.
