Va Beau Cookie Policy

We believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any Va Beau product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. As described in our Privacy Policy, personal data is always treated and protected carefully. The purposes for which Va Beau processes your personal data can be read in our Privacy Policy, which you should consult for the most recent version of this information. This Cookie Policy will use the definitions as set out in the Privacy Policy. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of the services offered by our Platform, and which includes our websites, communications, and mobile applications. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use these technologies. By continuing to visit or use our Platform, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Our Platform may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them). We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Platform; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Platform, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising, and social media features. More information about cookies can be found at www.allaboutcookies.org

2. Our use of cookies
a. Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies are crucial for the basic functions of the website and the website will not work in its intended way without them. As permitted by law, necessary cookies are used by default and cannot be rejected.

b. Functional cookies

Functional cookies help to perform certain functionalities on our website, such as saving your location preferences, accessibility options, or other settings.

c. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies are used by Va Beau to collect information about how our members use the Platform. For example, we can track how long members stay on certain webpages, and what parts of the Platform or website they visit. We use the information gathered by analytics cookies in aggregated form, so the information cannot be traced to a single individual. We use analytics cookies to ‘remember’ you and your preferences. These cookies ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors.

d. Advertising Cookies.

We may allow third party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Platform that enable companies to track your activity across sites where they display ads. These cookies record your activities so advertisers can show ads they consider relevant to you as you browse the Internet.

Cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you have seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it has been since you have last seen it. This information is used for frequency capping purposes, to help tailor the ads you see, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. We can use information from one device to help personalize your experience on another device.

e. Social Media Cookies.

On some pages of our Platform, third parties that provide applications through our Platform will set their own cookies to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you. Because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by us.

These cookies are used when you share any of our Platform content using a social media sharing button on our Platform (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok) as the social network that has created the button will record you have done this. If you are logged in to your account with the third party, the third party can link information about you with your actions via cookies.

3. Other Technologies

In addition to cookies, our Platform and our emails may use other technologies, such as Flash technology or pixel tags to collect information automatically.

a. Browser Web Storage.

We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.

b. Web Beacons.

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as ‘pixel tags’ and clear GIFs) on our Platform and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Platform and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to show a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails (e.g., they may tell us whether you have opened an email, and/or forwarded it on to someone else) and to compile statistics about usage of the Platform, so we can manage our content more effectively.
