COOKIES POLICY
This
Cookies Policy ("Cookies Policy") describes cookies and other
technologies that Signal island, Inc. ("Signal
island", "we", "us" or "our") uses on its
website ("Site") and the choices that users have. This Cookies Policy
is a part of Signal island’s Privacy Policy.
When you

accordance with this Cookies Policy. Note that if you accept, we will store
them on your device.
1. What is a cookie?
A 'cookie'
is a piece of information that is sent to your browser by a website you visit.
The Site uses first party cookies (those set by a website that is being visited
by the user at the time. For example, cookies via www.signalisland.com) as well
as third-party cookies (set by a different domain), as described below.
Cookies
can be stored on your computer for various periods of time. They can be in a
form of either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." A
session cookie only lasts as long as the browser session and is automatically
deleted when you close your browser. A persistent cookie lasts long after your
browser is closed and will remain until it expires (as determined by the third
party in charge of placing it) or until you delete the cookie. Persistent
cookies are used to help sites recognize and identify your computer when you
open your browser and surf the Internet again.
The data
collected through cookies may include information about the IP (Internet
Protocol) address of your device, browser type, language, operating system, the
state or country from which you have accessed the Site, the date and the time
of your visit(s), the number of links you click on this Site, the functions you
use, the searches you request, and the data you have saved while on this Site.
Signal island may use the information collected for a variety of necessary,
legitimate purposes, including user authentication, user interface
customization, security, research and analysis to improve the functionality of
our Site, and advertising (for more information on how we use your data, please
read our Privacy
Policy).
2. How do we use cookies?
The
following sets out how we use different categories of cookies, as well as
information on your options for managing your settings for the data collected
by these technologies:
• Necessary

through a Site and to use some of its features, such as the ability to log-in
and access secure areas, provide pop-up notices, and accept language from
sign-up forms. These cookies are essential for using and navigating a Site.
Without them, basic functions of our Site would not work. Because these cookies
are strictly necessary to deliver our Site’s essential services, you cannot
refuse them.
• Performance/Analytics
cookies: These cookies are used to recognize and count the number of Site
visitors, gather statistics regarding how visitors move around the Site (including
number of page views and the amount time spent on each page) and for conversion

3. Cookies Settings
If a
user does not want to receive certain categories of Cookies from the Company’s
Website, the individual can opt-out of them. The Company will need to set a
Cookie so that choices can be remembered on future visits to the website from
the same browser. Currently it is not technically possible to allow one to
carry their settings between browsers and devices, so the user needs to change
these settings from each browser used.
Please
also be aware that the Company makes every effort to respect a user’s choices,
however, there is the possibility that not all Cookies will be captured. If
this is a concern, then it is recommended to change the Cookie settings on the
browser.
A user
can choose to disable or block these cookies in the browser but without some of
them the Company’s site may not work properly, and the user experience will be
affected.
4. Changes
We may
change the type of third party service providers that
place cookies on our Site and amend this Cookies Policy at any time by posting
the amended version on our Site. Unless additional notice or consent is
required by applicable laws, this will serve as your official notification of
these changes.
