COOKIE POLICY

AT WEBCRAFF

WE LIKE TO EAT COOKIES,
BUT OUR WEBSITE DOES TOO!

Webcraff uses automatic data collection tools like cookies, embedded web links and widgets. These tools collect certain information that your browser or your mobile device send to Webcraff websites and Webcraff products. This policy explains how we use these tools and your choices regarding these tools.

We use common tracking technology.
We collect personal information about users over time and across different devices and platforms when you use this website, app or service.  For the purposes of this policy, “platform” includes our websites and mobile applications. We also have third parties that collect personal information in this way. To do this, we use several common tracking tools. Our vendors may also use these tools, which may include browser cookies.  We may also use web beacons, flash cookies, and other technology.

We use tracking technology for a variety of reasons.
We use tracking tools, including cookies, on our platforms. Cookies are small files that download when you access certain platforms. We use tracking tools:

  • To recognise new or past customers.
  • To store your password and registration information if you are registered on our platform.
  • To identify your country and language and distinguish you from other users of Webcraff websites.
  • To optimise your browsing experience by pre-loading certain features of Webcraff websites and services on future visits to make loading times faster and more efficient.
  • To provide basic platform functionality and improve our platform.
  • To serve you with interest-based or targeted advertising (see below for more on interest-based advertising).
  • To observe your behaviour and browsing activities over time across multiple devices or other platforms.
  • To enable social sharing.
  • To better understand the interests of our customers and our platform visitors.

Where web tools collect your Personal Information, it is in our legitimate interest to process such information to provide and improve our products and services, and to maintain our relationship with you.

We engage in interest-based advertising.
We and our partners display interest-based advertising using information gathered about you over time across multiple devices or other platforms. This might include websites and apps.

Interest-based advertising or “online behavioural advertising” includes ads served to you after you leave our platform, encouraging you to return. It also includes ads we think are relevant based on your shopping habits or online activities. These ads might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. These ads may be served by us or by third parties. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.

How do we gather relevant information about you for interest-based advertising?
To decide what is relevant to you, we use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. We gather this information using the tracking tools described above. For example, we or our partners might look at your purchases or browsing behaviour. We might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others.

We work with third parties who help gather this information. These third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect. That might include past purchases made offline or online, or it might include online usage information.

You can control tracking tools.
Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies.  How you do so depends on the type of cookies.  Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies.  To find out more about how to enable, disable, or delete cookies from your web browser, please visit here and here. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain platforms from time to time, you can go here.  Why?  Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.

Our Do Not Track Policy: Some websites have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals.
If you block cookies, certain features on our platform may not work.  If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.

Certain options you select are browser and device specific.

You can opt-out of online behavioural advertising.
The Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behaviour recorded and used for advertising purposes.

Some tracking tools do not participate in the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising.

The Digital Advertising Alliance also offers a tool for opting out of the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device for interest-based advertising. To exercise choice for companies participating in this tool, download the AppChoices app here.

Certain choices you make are both browser and device-specific.
