F. COOKIES

This section explains how we use cookies and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) to recognize you when you visit our Platform. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control them.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a string of information sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive. If you do not deactivate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same browser or device to access the Platform, our web servers will be notified of your visit, and in turn, we may have knowledge of your visit and usage patterns.

Cookies set by the site or app owner (in this case, Hitno.com) are called “first-party Cookies.” Cookies set by third parties other than the site or app owner are called “third-party Cookies.” Third-party Cookies enable third-party features or functionalities to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). These third-party entities can recognize your device when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies are also categorized as “session Cookies” (which are erased once you close the browser or shut down the device) and “persistent Cookies” (which remain even after closing the browser or shutting down the device/application and are activated each time you visit the Platform). Session cookies use encrypted data to authenticate you. Persistent Cookies do not store account numbers or passwords. We use both session and persistent cookies.

Why do we use Cookies?

We use first- and third-party Cookies for several reasons.

Some Cookies are required for technical and/or security reasons in order for our Platform to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” Cookies. First-party Cookies are primarily used to enable basic functionality on our Platform, including web analytics Cookies that help us understand how users use our web pages and how we can improve them. For example, we use essential or strictly necessary Cookies to enable us to remember items added to your shopping basket and recognize you when you sign into your account.

We also use social media Cookies. You may register for Platform membership and “share” Platform content through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes we embed videos from websites like YouTube. These websites have their own privacy policies governing their use of information, which you can find on the respective websites.

We also use Cookies to enable us to track and target the interests of Platform visitors, enhancing their experience by researching visiting patterns and conducting interest-based advertising; assisting our partners in tracking user visits to the Platform; and tracking progress and participation in promotions and the success of our email marketing campaigns. We use both first- and third-party Cookies for these purposes.
