COOKIE POLICY
LAST UPDATED: 8TH OF JUNE, 2024
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to ETAVOD Video Scriptwriting Services Limited (“ETAVOD” “we” “our” or “us”). This cookie policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO WE USE THEM?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device browser’s memory when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently
Cookies set by the website owner, in this case, ETAVOD, are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
We do not use cookies to collect information that directly identifies you as an individual. However, some information collected by cookies may be treated as personal data (such as your browsing history, or your device information).
Depending on the job the cookie needs to perform, it may be a session or persistent cookie:
- Persistent cookies are retained on your device until you either erase them or your browser erases them when the cookie reaches its expiration date.
- Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser or once your session ends.
HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies to:
- Ensure our website functions correctly and securely.
- Remember your preferences and settings.
- Track your use of our website.
- Conduct research and diagnostics to improve our content.
- Improve the performance of our website and user experience.
WHAT TYPE OF COOKIES DO WE USE?
To help you better understand what cookies we apply to our website, we have classified our cookies into six categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance Functional. Analytics and Customization Cookies, Advertising Cookies, and Social Networking Cookies
Category 1: Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website, your browsing experience and they are also used to enable authentication and security.
We use the information collected by these cookies to:
- Monitor that our website is operating correctly and deliver content to you reliably.
- If necessary, carry your information across pages to avoid re-entering
- Remember your cookie consent decisions.
As strictly necessary cookies are essential for our website to work, they cannot be disabled at our end. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies but opting out of them may cause some parts of our websites to not work.
Category 2: Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information on how you use our website. For example, which pages you have visited and whether you have experienced any errors during your visit. They may also be used to perform website analytics. The data collected by these cookies is stored in an aggregate form and will not directly identify you as an individual.
We use the information collected by these cookies to:
- Understand how our website is being used
- Test different versions of our website so that we can make improvements
By not accepting these cookies, your browsing experience on our website may be impacted.
Category 3: Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember you so that we can improve, enhance and personalise your visit to our website.
We use the information collected by these cookies to:
- Personalise our website’s content for your preferences
- Provide you various web services, including ability to watch a video
If you limit or not accept these cookies on your browser, our website cannot remember choices you’ve previously made or personalise your browsing experience.
Category 4: Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.
Category 5: Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases, selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Category 6: Social Networking Cookies
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our website through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
MANAGE COOKIES
You can at any time withdraw or manage your cookie consent using the cookie management window that can be accessed from the Manage Cookies link located in the footer of each page on our website.
You can also opt out of cookies by changing the settings in your browser. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. By changing these settings, in most cases you can choose to not accept any cookies, or to not accept third party cookies. Removing cookies in your browser settings means that any preference settings you have made on a website will be lost (including any consent preferences regarding cookies where that is available).
Please also note that blocking all cookies means that functionality on our website will be lost as described above. We don’t recommend turning all cookies off when using our website.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
We may work with third parties to set the above-mentioned cookies when you interact with our website. These third parties include our partners and service providers, such as advertisers, search engines, social media platforms, or analytics platforms that enable us to improve and personalise your experiences on our website. We do not share any data with these third parties that may identify you.
Third parties may also place cookies on your device when you visit other websites that do not belong to us. These cookies are applied in accordance with the third party’s cookie policy, which we have no control over. You can always opt out of third party cookies through your browser settings.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, LIKE WEB BEACONS?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
POLICY UPDATES
We may update this cookie policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this cookie policy indicates when it was last updated.
