Cookie Policy
INTRODUCTION
When you visit or access the Aravrit website, or when you interact or engage with its content (the “Site”), Aravrit uses (and may authorize third parties to use) web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, tags, API and other technologies (“Tracking Technologies“).
This is explained in this policy (“Cookie and Tracking Policy”) which is a part of Aravrit’s Privacy Policy.
The Tracking Technologies allow Aravrit to automatically collect information about you and your online behavior in order to enhance your navigation on the Site, improve its performance and customize your experience on the Site.
Aravrit may also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of the Site, perform analytics, and to deliver content which is tailored to your interests and administer services to our users, advertisers, publishers, customers and partners.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make the Site more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies are widely used in order to make the Site work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently. Cookies remember your preferences, and make the interaction between you and the Site smoother and more efficient.
Cookies originate from two types of sources: first party and third party. The classification whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the internet domain that is placing the cookie.
- First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time.
- Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the site being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that site this would be a third party cookie.
WHAT KIND OF THIRD PARTY COOKIES DO WE USE?
Aravrit use Google Analytics cookies, in order to measure how our users interact with our Site content. As you navigate between web pages on our Site, Google Analytics provides us JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page you have seen, for example the URL of the page. The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP Cookies to “remember” what kind of interactions you have with our Site.
STORING TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Aravrit stores Tracking Technologies when you visit or access the Site – these are called “First Party Tracking Technologies”. In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example Aravrit’s analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on Aravrit’s Site – these are called “Third Party Tracking Technologies”.
Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on the Site or for repeat visits.
WHAT TYPES OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES DO WE USE?
There are five main types of Tracking Technologies:
Strictly necessary Tracking Technologies –
These Tracking Technologies are essential to enable you to navigate around and use the features of the Site, or to provide a service requested by you (such as your username).
Aravrit does not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies. These Tracking Technologies can be used for security and integrity reasons – for example to detect violation of Aravrit’s policies and for support or security features.
Functionality Tracking Technologies –
These Tracking Technologies allow our Site to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Site.
Performance Tracking Technologies –
These Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on the Site), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).
Social media Tracking Technologies –
These technologies allow for social media interface such as the Facebook “Like” or “Share” buttons, or third party log-in services. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on Aravrit’s Site.
User interactions with these features are governed by Aravrit’s Privacy Policy.
