COOKIE POLICY
The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to elaborate on the usage of cookies and comparable technologies while you avail our service, the definition of tracking technologies, and the rationale behind their employment. Moreover, this document specifies the means through which you can manage their utilization. In case of any inquiries, please feel free to reach out to us at info@art-fy.art
COOKIES
When you visit our website, a small text file known as a cookie is placed on your device, such as a computer or smartphone, to store various information, such as your language preferences, browser, and device used to access the website. We refer to these cookies as "first-party cookies" since we set them. Additionally, we utilize "third-party cookies" from a different domain than our website to facilitate our advertising and marketing endeavors.
"Session cookies" are temporary and automatically expire once you close your browser, without remaining on your device. These cookies permit our website to connect your activities during a specific browser session.
On the other hand, "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set duration, expiring on a designated expiration date or upon being manually deleted from your cache. These cookies are retained on your device between browser sessions and enable the recollection of your preferences and activities across our website.
SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Apart from cookies, there exist alternative analogous technologies that could be employed on the web or mobile systems.
A "web beacon" also known as a "pixel tag," "web bug," or "GIF," is a small, transparent image that contains a unique identifier embedded into a website or email. When the website code is read by your browser, it communicates with our server to display the image, allowing us to gather technical details about your device, including operating systems and settings being used, and track your activities during a session. This information can also help us identify when each email was opened, from what IP address, and from what device. We use this data to enhance our email communications.
"Software development kits (SDKs)", are third-party development kits that could be installed in our mobile applications to help us understand how you interact with them and collect specific information about the device and network you use to access them.
"Local shared objects," commonly referred to as "Flash cookies," are pieces of data that Adobe Flash-enabled websites may store on your computer to facilitate Flash functionality, such as graphics, interactive animations, and other enhanced features. They can track similar parameters to cookies, but also provide information on the specific feature that the cookie is enabling. For example, we can receive information on how much of a video was watched and when viewing stopped. Tools to manage Flash cookies can be found directly on Adobe's website.
"HTML5 local storage" allows information to be stored within the browser's data files, similar to cookies, but with the ability to hold greater amounts of information without the need for an exchange of data with the website's server.
"Fingerprinting" involves combining a set of device information elements, such as device configuration data, CSS information, JavaScript objects, installed fonts and plugins, use of APIs, HTTP header information, and clock data, to uniquely identify a particular device.
"Device Identifiers" are unique numbers and letters assigned to specific devices, including Apple's ID for Advertisers (IDFA) and Google's Android Advertising ID (AAID). These identifiers are stored on the device and used to recognize you and your devices across various apps and devices for marketing and advertising purposes. You can reset your device identifier or opt out of personalized advertising in your device's settings.
"Social widgets" are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow interaction with those services on a web page or mobile app screen. These widgets can collect browsing data that the third party receives and controls.
