Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Glamyad Inc.) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, advertising, and interactive content).

The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes.

• Essential: Core site functionality, authentication, session management, and security. These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website.
• Performance & Analytics: Understanding how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate through the Website. This helps us improve our services.
• Functional: Remembering your preferences (such as language, region, or display settings) to provide enhanced, personalized features.
• Marketing & Advertising: Personalizing your experience, delivering relevant content, and showing relevant ads on our Website and across the web.

Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We use tools like PostHog and Amplitude to collect this analytics data.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Website, deliver advertisements on and through the Website, and so on. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities. These include:

Web Beacons (Pixels / Clear GIFs)

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails. They are similar in function to cookies and are used to track the online movements of web users, count how many people visit our Website, and monitor the effectiveness of our content and advertising.

Local Storage

Local storage (including HTML5 local storage and IndexedDB) allows data to be stored locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage can hold larger amounts of data and is not sent back to the server with every request. We use local storage to remember your preferences and settings, cache content for faster loading, and maintain application state.

Session Storage

Session storage is similar to local storage but is cleared when you close your browser tab. We use session storage to maintain temporary state during your browsing session, such as form data or shopping cart contents.

Device Identifiers

We may collect device identifiers (such as your device's advertising ID) to recognize you across sessions and devices, deliver personalized content, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Below is a list of the specific cookies we may use on our Website, organized by category:

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time depending on their type:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. The process for managing cookies varies depending on the browser you are using. Below are links to the support pages for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
• Apple Safari: Manage cookies in Safari

Please note that if you use different browsers or devices, you will need to manage your cookie preferences separately for each one. Cookie settings on your mobile device may also be managed through your device's operating system settings.

If you choose to block or delete cookies, please be aware that this may affect your experience on our Website. Specifically:

• Essential cookies: Blocking these may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Website, such as logging in, maintaining a session, or completing transactions. Some parts of the Website may not function properly.
• Analytics cookies: Blocking these will not affect your ability to use the Website, but it will limit our ability to understand how you interact with our services and make improvements.
• Functional cookies: Without these, your preferences (such as language or theme) will not be remembered between visits, and you may need to reconfigure settings each time.
• Marketing cookies: Blocking these means you will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads repeatedly.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use, for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by prominently posting a notice on our Website or by sending you an email notification.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
