Cookies and Internet Advertising

 

We and our Service Providers utilize cookies, other technologies (such as web beacons), and resettable device identifiers for various purposes. It’s important for you to understand our use of these technologies, so this section explains the types of technologies we use, their functions, and your choices regarding their use.

We also use other technologies like browser storage and plugins (e.g., HTML5, IndexedDB, WebSQL) that may store small amounts of data on your device. Web beacons, or clear gifs/pixel tags, often work together with cookies. Declining cookies may affect the performance of web beacons linked to those cookies.

If you use the #ForBossesOnly app on a mobile device, tablet, or streaming media device, we may collect a resettable device identifier from your device. These identifiers are used for online advertising relevance, analytics, and optimization, similar to cookies.

• Purpose of Using These Technologies: Our reasons include ease of access to our services by remembering you when you return, providing, analyzing, understanding, and enhancing the use of our services, enforcing our terms, preventing fraud, improving site performance, monitoring traffic and actions on our site, and delivering and tailoring our marketing or advertising.

• Advertising on Other Sites and Apps: When we advertise our services on other websites or apps, some of the websites and apps where we advertise, as well as the advertising technology companies we use (collectively “Advertising Partners”), may receive information from us as part of campaign targeting, measurement, and optimization. This includes information like sign-up steps completed and site visit or app open/install details. We use this data to evaluate ad campaign effectiveness and ensure we don’t serve ads to existing #ForBossesOnly users. We take measures to prevent Advertising Partners from accessing information about specific content selections or viewing activity on our service.
