A. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us improve our Websites and your experience browsing our Websites, see which areas and features of our Websites are popular. We may also from time to time use web beacons, which are electronic images that may be used in our emails to help deliver cookies, count visits and understand usage and campaign effectiveness.

Cookies do not collect any data stored on your hard drive or computer. They can only collect data from the websites that you browse on your different devices.

There are different types of cookies. Cookies that come directly from our website are called “first party cookies”, whilst cookies that come from the parties other than the owner of the website – in this case Linkurious – are called “third party cookies”.

B. What Types of Cookies do we Use?

Here you’ll find information on different types of cookies we use on our website and the purpose they serve.

1. Essential Cookies: e.g. Linkurious and WordPress
   These cookies are necessary for you to browse our website and use its basic functions. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as logging into a secure area of our website. These cookies are indispensable for the use of this website.
2. Functionality Cookies: e.g. Google Tag Manager, Hubspot, Drift
   Functionality cookies are used to recognise you when you use our website and allow us to offer you customized functions like greeting you by name and remembering your preferences (e.g. your choice of language or region). The information collected from these cookies is anonymous to ensure that your movements on other websites cannot be tracked.
3. Personalisation and Analytical Cookies: e.g. Google Analytics, Hubspot, HotJar
   When you visit our website, the analytical services we use generate cookies which can tell us whether or not you have visited our website in the past and provide additional information regarding how our customers use our website (such as where users tend to click on our website). This allows us to track how many individual users visit our websites and how often they do it. We use these cookies to personalize the look and feel of our websites.
4. Targeting Cookies: e.g. Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter
   We use Targeting Cookies to record your visits to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests and to make sure you don’t see the same ads all the time. Those cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We may also share this information with third parties (such as advertisers) for this purpose. If you would like to have more information about why and how we share information collected from those cookies with our advertising partners, please read section E of this cookie policy.

C. Why do we Use Cookies?

Linkurious uses cookies for several purposes. Thanks to the data we collect from them, we can make sure that your preferences and settings are taken into account when you use our website, so that we can provide you with relevant, accurate and customized information. For example, instead of displaying messages about materials available on our website that you’ve already seen, we will be able to propose to you different content that may be interesting for you. We also use cookies for security reasons. They allow us to ensure the integrity of our product and prevent the misuse of our services but also make sure that we can identify our users and detect network attacks while maintaining confidentiality.
