Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy is a key component of our Privacy Policy and should be reviewed alongside our Terms of Use. For terms used here but not explicitly defined, please refer to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for context.
Like many other services, we and our third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, ensure platform security, and help improve our Platform functionality. These technologies include pixels, local storage, device identifiers, and SDKs, which allow us to remember your preferences, tailor content and ads to your interests, and protect against misuse. In this policy, we’ll refer to these collectively as "cookies."
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (such as a computer or mobile phone) when you access websites. They can record information about your activities on the site, such as pages visited, content viewed, and your preferences. We use both persistent cookies (which stay on your device until deleted) and session cookies (which expire when your browser is closed).
Additional Tracking Technologies
Alongside cookies, we utilize several other tracking technologies, each serving similar functions:
- Pixels: Small bits of code on a webpage or email that work with cookies to monitor user interactions, helping us optimize your experience.
- Local Storage: Stores data directly on your device, so we can better personalize content based on your interaction history.
- Device Identifiers: Recognize your device on return visits to the Platform.
- SDKs: Third-party SDKs allow us to track and analyze app usage, delivering insights that help us refine user experience.
Types of Cookies We Use
Our Platform utilizes several types of cookies to ensure optimal service:
- Essential Cookies: Necessary for site operation and security. These cookies support secure access to the Platform, preventing fraud and unauthorized activity. They cannot be disabled in our system due to their essential function in maintaining site security.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about site visits, helping us understand how users navigate and which pages are most popular. This anonymous data enables us to enhance our Platform’s performance.
- Functional Cookies: Allow for enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering your username and preferences. Disabling these cookies may limit certain Platform functionalities.
- Targeted Cookies: Used by advertising partners to create interest profiles and display relevant ads. These cookies ensure ad relevance across other websites but don’t store personal data.
- Communication Cookies: Show customized messages about FanRaizd updates, tailored based on your Platform usage. Disabling may lead to less relevant communication.
- IAB TCF-Related Cookies: Through our participation in the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework, these cookies ensure compliance with privacy standards and give users precise control over ad-related data usage.
- Registered User Cookies: Additional advertising services are available for registered users who consent to specific advertising cookies, providing options for enhanced security and functionality.
Third-Party Cookies
To improve Platform performance and personalize your experience, we allow select third-party providers to place cookies. This may include analytics services that track and measure user engagement, supporting continuous content optimization. Occasionally, we also test new features using these cookies to ensure consistency across user experiences.
Additionally, advertising networks and partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to gather data, such as device identifiers or IP addresses, to deliver ads relevant to you. Affiliate tracking cookies let us verify when partners bring customers to our site, helping us attribute sales accurately.
Note: Third-party cookie usage is governed by the respective third-party privacy policies.
Your Choices and Controls
We prioritize giving you meaningful privacy options, so you have control over how cookies are used on our Platform:
Consent Management Platform (CMP)
Through our CMP, you can customize your cookie preferences, specifying which cookies you wish to allow or block. While essential cookies supporting security and service functionality cannot be opted out of, all other cookies can be managed to suit your preferences.
FanRaizd Settings
If you have a FanRaizd account, you can manage settings related to cookies and tracking:
- In Privacy Settings, you can control analytics tracking via our CMP.
- In Advertising Settings, you can opt out of interest-based ads for third-party products.
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to adjust settings to manage cookies, blocking them outright or requesting permission each time a site sets a cookie. Note that blocking cookies may limit Platform functionality.
Device Settings
On mobile devices, you can adjust tracking settings in your device’s settings:
- iOS: "Allow Apps to Request to Track" (or "Limit Ad Tracking").
- Android: "Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads."
Disabling tracking may affect certain Platform features and ad relevance.
Updates to This Policy
We may occasionally update this Cookie Policy. Any significant changes will be communicated clearly, and your continued use of our Platform following such updates implies your acceptance of the revised policy.
