This cookie notice applies to the websites, mobile apps, widgets, APIs, emails, and other online products and services, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through our Website (collectively the “Services”).

 

By using our Services, you are consenting to our use of cookies and other tracking technology in accordance with this notice. If you do not agree to our use of cookies and other tracking technology in this way, you should set your browser settings accordingly or not use the Services. If you disable cookies that we use, this may impact your user experience while on the Services.

 

When using a mobile device to connect to the internet, you should also refer to the privacy notice of the specific App you are using to understand its specific data collection practices.

 

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. See below for details on what information is collected by cookies and how we use that information. For more information about the kind of data we collect, please read our Privacy Policy.

 

2. How and why does FACTZ use them?

FACTZ uses cookies to gain a better understanding of how visitors use this website. Cookies help us tailor FACTZ website to your personal needs, to improve their user-friendliness, gain customer satisfaction feedback on our websites (through designated partners) and to communicate to you elsewhere on the web. To enable this, some cookies are applied when you enter our site.

FACTZ keeps all the information collected from cookies in a format that is not personally identifiable. FACTZ cookies located on your computer do not retain your name or your IP address.

 

3. What type of cookies does FACTZ use?                                                       

The following types of cookies are used on the Services:

 

• Necessary cookies: These are cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of a website. Without these cookies, this website won’t work properly. Accordingly, we are not asking you for your specific consent for those cookies. For all other cookies, your informed consent is required.

 

• Session cookies: Session cookies are temporary cookie files which are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created that cookie, the website will treat you as a new visitor.

 

• Functional cookies: These are cookies that are set up to improve the functionality of the website. For example, cookies that remember the content you previously viewed on this website or the email address and password you provided when registering during an earlier visit to this website. Using Functional cookies may allow us to serve you content tailored to your interests and save you the time of having to re-register or re-enter information when you re-visit this website or try to access certain subscription-only sections. We may also use Cookies to lockout underage users from certain activities.

 

• Cookies that send information to us: These are the cookies that we set on the Services and they can only be read by the Services. This is known as a “First Party” cookie.  We also place cookies on ads shown on other websites owned by third parties (e.g. LinkedIn). We obtain information via those cookies when you click on or interact with the advertisement. In this situation, the ad places a “Third Party” cookie. We may use the information obtained by these cookies to serve you with advertising that is relevant and of interest to you based on your past online behavior.

 

• Cookies that send information to other companies: These are cookies that are set on the Services by our partner companies (or advertisers). They may use the data collected from these cookies to anonymously target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to this Website. For example, if you use a social widget (e.g. the LinkedIn icon) on the Website, it will record your “share” or “like”. LinkedIn (as the company setting the cookie) will collect the data. This is known as a “Third Party’’ cookie.

 

• Demographics and Interest Reporting: The Services use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to improve advertising. Some common applications are to target advertising based on what’s relevant to a user, to improve reporting on campaign performance, and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen. This is done using what is called the DoubleClick cookie. If you don’t want your information collected in this way, you can:

 

• use Google’s Ads Settings to opt out of Display Advertising; or
• use Google’s Browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics

 

DoubleClick cookies contain no personally identifiable information. Sometimes the DoubleClick cookie will contain an additional identifier that is similar in appearance to the cookie ID, and is used to identify an ad campaign to which a user was exposed previously.

 

We will not use any information reported by Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to identify any individual user of our site. Find out more about Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting.
