Arklign Cookies and Related Technologies Policy

Last Updated: April 23, 2019

We think it’s important for you to understand how cookies and other related/similar technologies are used by Arklign (“we”, “us”, and “ours”) – for our website (“Site”), mobile application (“App”) and our services (“Services”). These technologies help Arklign function, allow us to understand how you use the Services, identify ways to improve the Services and your experience, manage advertising, and more.

Our automatic data collection includes the use of the following technologies:

Cookies. A “cookie” is a small piece of data that is stored on a visitor’s hard drive in order to store information about visitor preferences and activities on the Site. We use this information to optimize the experiences of our visitors. For instance, a cookie can help us identify you when you return to the Site in order to save you time.

For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been saved and how to manage and delete them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you are located in the European Union you may use the resources at http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.

In the event that our business partners, affiliates, or advertisers on the Site or App use cookies, we will not have access or control over such cookies. However, any use of these third party cookies will not relate to any personally identifiable information about you.

Other Technologies. In addition to cookies, we, our service providers, and analytics partners may also use other standard technologies, such as web beacons (sometimes called “clear GIFs”, “web pixels”, or “web bugs”) local storage objects (“LSO”, such as HTML5 and Flash) and scripts. These help provide the functionality described in this policy.

Consent, Contract, and Legitimate Interests in Processing

Certain Cookie Technologies are employed to make the Site function for its intended purpose, and are provided based on contractual necessity based on your agreement with Arklign to perform the Services you have requested. These include the functions strictly necessary to the service noted above. By choosing to use our Services after having been notified of our use of Cookie Technologies in the ways described in this Policy, and, in applicable jurisdictions, through notice and unambiguous acknowledgement of your consent, you agree to such use.

What Cookies Do We Use?

We use various types of cookies on our Site, App, and Services, including:

  • Session cookies, which disappear when you log out and close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies, which stay on your device until you or your browser deletes them or until they expire;
  • First-party cookies, which are associated with the domain you are visiting; and
  • Third-party cookies, which are associated with a different domain other than the one you are visiting.

Some cookies are associated with your account. Other cookies are not tied to your account but are set on a browser or device.

How Do We Use Cookies and Other Technologies?

We use cookies in a variety of ways, including as follows:

  • If you’re signed in to your account, cookies help us keep you logged in, show you the right information and personalize your experience.
  • We may use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity.
  • Supporting additional features and functionalities. Cookies also support additional features and functionality on our Services, such as supporting video streaming features.
  • Performance, Analytics and Personalization. Cookies help us learn how well our Services perform, allow us to analyze use of our Services, and personalize content and experiences delivered to you. We also use cookies to understand, improve, develop and research products, features and services, to collect usage, viewing, logs, and technical information about you (such as event data), and to create logs and record when you access our Services from different devices, such as your work computer or your mobile device.
  • We may use cookies to help us deliver marketing or ad campaigns and to track their performance. Similarly, we and/or our advertising partners may use cookies to help gather information about your activities on our Site and other sites in order to provide you advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests, both on our Site and on third-party websites. We may receive reports based on the use of cookies on an individual as well as an aggregated basis. Please note that our Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, third-party ad servers and ad networks.
  • As described in our Privacy Policy. We uses cookies (and the resulting data) for the uses described in our Privacy Policy.

Your Choices

  • You may choose to refuse to accept cookies by configuring the appropriate setting on your browser. Each browser is a little different, but usually these settings are under the “options” or “preferences” menu. However, doing so may prevent you from being able to access parts of the Services and may prevent the Services from functioning properly. For more information on managing and deleting cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
    • Web beacon tracking can be stopped by removing existing cookies and turning off the acceptance of new cookies in your browser.
  • Advertising and Third Party Networks. There are several resources that you can use to learn more about targeted and behavioral advertising or to opt-out of these types of advertising. Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance website, Network Advertising Initiative website, TrustE/TrustArc’s preferences manager, or About Ads website. (If you are located in the European Union click here.)
    • We may use Doubleclick and Facebook cookies for our advertising. You can opt-out of Doubleclick use of cookies by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page. To opt out of Facebook showing you targeted ads from other sites, open your Facebook page, click “settings”, then “ads”, and then make any desired changes. You can opt-out of advertising through Google at Google Ads Settings.
  • Flash LSOs. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies click here.
  • HTML5 LSOs. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs. Please consult the browser’s settings.
  • Other Cookies. We may use Wistia for management and optimization of video performance on the Site. For more details, refer to Wistia’s Privacy Policy.
  • Google Analytics. We may use Google Analytics or similar services to collect non-personal information from you regarding your use of the Sites. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google, Inc. that mainly uses cookies to report on your interactions on the Site and analyzes how you use the Site. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. For more information on Google Analytics, including how to set up privacy controls on how Google Analytics collects your information, please see the help article, Safeguarding your data. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out plug-in for the web.
  • Mobile Opt-out. If you access our App, you may also control interest-based advertising on an iOS or Android device by selecting the “Limit Ad Tracking” option in the privacy section of the Settings App on iOS or via advertising preferences on Android-based devices (usually in the Google Settings app). This will not prevent you from seeing advertisements, but will limit the use of device advertising identifiers to personalize ads based on your interests.
  • Application SDKs. The App may include third-party mobile application software development kits (“SDKs”) that provide mobile performance and analytics data, bug reporting features, and APIs to third parties that help provide the Services, collection of information about the app itself, activity in the app, and the device the application is running on, and for marketing and advertising. App SDKs are used in many mobile applications. You can control the data collection of many SDKs through browser or mobile device settings.
  • Do Not Track Response. Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. Because we track visitors’ activities over time and across third-party websites, we respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent to us from our visitors’ browsers. We also allow third parties to track such activities.
