Cookie Information
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a web site you visit may save on your hard drive. They usually include an anonymous unique identifier. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Does Places2Note Use?
Places2Note uses cookies and similar technologies to assist with functions such as user authentication, remembering user preferences, understanding how users use our Service, and managing and tracking the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We also may include tracking pixels, which are small graphic images, in our email messages and newsletters to determine whether the messages were opened and the links were actually clicked. In some cases, as outlined below, third parties may also get the opportunity to set cookies.
We describe in this document the cookies and similar technologies found on our Service. Please check back here periodically, as we may update this information from time to time.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are ones Places2Note sets to enable the website to work as intended. These cookies are necessary to enable you to move around our web site and use its features. Without these cookies, we can’t provide services you have asked for. We use other cookies to help recognize and remember you when you are logged into the Service so we can remember your settings and preferences, such as your language and region or your logged-in state. These cookies also may help us provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on our user forum. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on non-Places2Note websites. As described below, you may disable any of these functional cookies; but if you do so, then various functions of the web site may be unavailable to you or may not work as intended.
Analytics
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to help us understand how you use our website, our mobile applications, our desktop clients. By providing us with information about how you interact with our website, apps and products, these tools help us learn how to make the Places2Note experience even better and customize our communications with you. For example, these technologies can tell us things like how you arrived at the Places2Note site, if you have visited the site before, how long you stay on the site, and which pages you visit. They also provide us with general information about where in the world you may be located.
The following analytics technologies are in use:
- Google Analytics. To learn more about Google Analytics and your privacy, visit http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics when using our website, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising
We collect a unique ad tracking identifier (the Advertising Identifier or “IDFA” on Apple devices and the Google Ad ID or “AID” on Android devices) from your device. These identifiers are unique to your device but you can reset them or limit their use through your device settings. These identifiers do not contain your name or email address. We use these ad tracking identifiers together with our analytics technologies in order to inform our targeted advertising initiatives.
We don’t contract with third-party advertising networks that use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to and actions on certain pages of Places2Note.com, your use of the Places2Note applications, and whether you open certain emails we send you.
Social Media Features
Our web site uses social media features (“Social Features”) provided by companies and services such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn and others (depending on what country you’re in) to enable you to share information with these channels. The Social Features are identified on our web site by our display of the companies’ logos. These cookies are owned and controlled by third parties, and therefore the third parties – and not Places2Note – are responsible for their use. As such, we can't guarantee that we have listed every cookie you might get from a third party since a third party could change these cookies at any time as their needs change.
When you visit a page on the Places2Note web site that contains Social Features, your browser establishes a direct connection to the applicable social network’s servers. The Social Features inform the social networks what pages you have accessed on Places2Note’s site, and, if you are logged into the social network, your visit may be logged to your account on that service. For example, if you click the Facebook “Like” button, that information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored by them. Even if you are not logged into the social network, and do not click on a Social Feature on the Places2Note site, there is still a possibility that a Social Feature can transmit your IP address and cookie information to the operator of the social network. We will not transmit information regarding your account contents to such social networks.
For information on the purpose and scope of data processing by a social network, as well as your options for protecting your privacy, please review the appropriate social network's privacy policy. For your convenience, below are links to the most commonly used Social Features you’ll see on the Places2Note site.
