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 first visit the Site, you will be asked to consent to the use of cookies in 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).

These cookies are essential for using and navigating a Site. Without them, basic functions of our Site would not work.

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.
