Izismile Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Izisimile, collectively "Izismile" "we", "us", "our," or "Izismile," use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit the Site on which this Cookie Policy is posted. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. A cookie may have unique identifiers and reside, among other places, on your device, in emails we send to you, and on the Site.
Cookies set by Izismile are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than Izismile are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties in connection with the Site, for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
We may use other technologies similar to cookies like web beacons, which are sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs". These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited the Site. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some are required for technical reasons in order for the Site to operate. Others provide a better experience on the Site by remembering some of your activities on the Site (including through our plug-ins, widgets, and embedded content). Other cookies enable more relevant advertising and better analytics.
Essential Cookies. Some cookies are required for the Site to operate, for example, in the following ways:
a. To identify you as being logged into the Site
b. To make sure you connect to the right service on the Site when we make any changes to the way the Site works
Cookies for Features and Services. Some cookies provide a better experience on our Site. For example, without cookies to remember some of your settings and activities on the Site, the following functionality may become unavailable:
a. Remembering settings you have applied, such as layout, text size, preferences, and colours
b. Remembering if we already have asked you to complete a survey or if you already have engaged with particular content on the Site to avoid showing these items to you again
Cookies for Analytics and Personalisation. Some cookies collect information about how you use the Site to help us improve how the Site is being used, and to help us understand what may interest you and personalise your experience accordingly. These cookies, for example:
a. Generate statistics on how the Site is used, including to measure any errors that occur or to obtain data on the number of users of the Site that have viewed our content
b. Test different designs for the Platform
c. Collect or transmit information about you, such as your browser type and search preferences, and your use of the Site
Advertising Cookies. We and third parties use cookies to make advertising more relevant to you. They perform functions like measuring the performance of ads, preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting ads that are based on your visits to the Site and other sites. These cookies, for example:
a. Provide feedback to advertising partners that one of their visitors also visited the Site
b. Provide our advertisers with data relating to ads that have been displayed to you or that you have clicked on, and the date and time of your use
c. To show you relevant advertising off of the Site
d. To understand what actions you take on the Site after receiving our advertising
Third-Party Cookies. We work with analytics service providers, advertising partners, and advertising networks that may have access to your device information but does not enable them to collect your personal information (if you have a registered account) unless you choose to provide this information. Learn more about who serves cookies from the Site.
How can I control cookies
