Last updated: June 15, 2023
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Connect ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
By using or accessing our Service, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several types of cookies for various reasons:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve our Service by measuring errors, testing different designs, and understanding user traffic patterns.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and so on. These cookies may include:
- Google Analytics: Used to analyze user behavior and track website traffic
- Firebase: Used for authentication and analytics purposes
- Stripe: Used for payment processing
- Social Media Platforms: Used to enable social sharing functionality and marketing
Mobile Applications
When you use our mobile applications, we may use mobile analytics software and other similar technologies to collect information about how you use our application. These technologies may record information such as how often you use the application, events that occur within the application, usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from.
We may also use local storage technologies, such as HTML5 localStorage and IndexedDB, to store content information and preferences. These features are similar to cookies and are used to store user preferences or enable certain features.
How to Control Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you.
Browser Controls
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to do it in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Menu → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Firefox: Menu → Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Mobile Device Controls
You can control tracking and analytics in your mobile device settings:
- iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking → (toggle "Allow Apps to Request to Track")
- Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → (opt out of ad personalization)
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, but we do provide you the option to opt out of interest-based advertising as described above.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised policy, and your continued use of our Service following these changes means that you accept the revised Cookie Policy.
