This Cookie Notice explains how the WORLDWIDE SYSTEM OF MEDIA, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS and its group companies (“WORLDWIDE SYSTEM OF MEDIA, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS”, “we” and “our”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies, including SDKs (together, “cookies”) on or through our website at https://comunidades.rede.social/ (“Platform”), or when you visit the website of a user of the WORLDWIDE SYSTEM OF MEDIA, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS (“User Profile and 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?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device. Website owners may use cookies for a variety of reasons which may include allowing the website to function (or function more efficiently), providing personalized content and advertising, and creating analytics. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, WORLD MEDIA SYSTEM, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS) are called “first party cookies”. Only the WORLD SYSTEM OF MEDIA, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS can access the first-party cookies it sets.
Cookies set by third parties other than the WORLD SYSTEM OF MEDIA, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies allow third party features or functionality (eg advertising, interactive content and social sharing) to be provided on or through the website. The parties that set these third-party cookies on websites may recognize your device when you visit the website in question and when you visit other websites that partner with them.
Why do we use cookies?
We use our own and third-party cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons strictly necessary to provide services from the WORLD MEDIA SYSTEM, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS, and we refer to them as “essential” cookies. Other cookies also allow us to perform analytics, customize and enhance your experience, and/or show you more relevant content and advertising.
In addition to the cookies used by the platform for these purposes of the WORLD MEDIA SYSTEM, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS, users can adjust their settings to set their own and third-party cookies in their user profile for their own independent purposes of a similar nature.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies we serve through our Platform and the purposes they serve are described in our cookie consent tool, which you can access with your cookie preferences. This tool also describes the third-party cookies that Platform members can choose to use in their user profile and the purposes they serve.
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, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) on our website. They are small graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our Platform or opened an email that we have sent. This allows us, for example, to monitor users' traffic patterns from one page on our Platform to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you arrived at our Platform from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve website performance and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly.
How can you control cookies?
In some countries (including where EU or UK law applies), you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. In any case, you can exercise your cookie preferences via our cookie consent tool, which you can access by clicking Cookie Preferences. You can separately control whether you accept or reject cookies set by users of the WORLD MEDIA SYSTEM, DOMAINS AND SOCIAL LINKS in their user profiles.
With regard to websites, you can also set or change your web browser controls to accept or decline cookies.
If you choose to reject cookies, you will still be able to use our website or app, although your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.
How often will we update this Cookie Notice?
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Therefore, please visit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about the use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the bottom of this Cookie Notice indicates when it was last updated.
