THIRD PARTY COOKIES

Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". We may use authorised third-party providers to help us with various aspects of our business, such as website operations, services, applications, advertising, support tools and to serve you relevant content.

The authorised third-party providers we use may place cookies on your device (third-party cookies) or make use of similar tracking technologies such as web beacons. No personally identifiable information is stored in third-party cookies. The information reported to us is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to understand, for example, the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing. Web beacons are small graphic images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) which may be used to collect and store information about visits to our website (such as which pages you viewed and how long you spent on the website) and communication efficiency (such as the email delivery and open rates). Where necessary, the information gathered by web beacons may be tied to your personal data strictly for the purposes set out in this Cookie Policy.

We may also use cookies from our authorised third-party providers who may use information about your visits to other websites to target advertisements for services offered by Safeonline. We do not control the types of information collected and stored by these third-party cookies. You should check the third-party's website for more information on how they use cookies.
