Cookie Policy

Last Updated September 9, 2024

This Sayvant Cookie Policy explains how Sayvant ("Sayvant", "we", "us", and "ours") use cookies and similar technologies to recognize when you visit our Sites. It explains what the technology is and why we use them, as well as your rights with respect to cookies.

Cookies Explained

Cookies are small data files containing small amounts of information that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a Site. Cookies remember things about your visit to our Site, such as your preferred language and other choices/settings and generally make the site easier to use. They can also be used for relevant advertisements.

There are various types of cookies that may be applicable:

  • Cookies by the Site owner (here, Sayvant).
  • Third party cookies that enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Site (e.g. usage analytics). The parties that set third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the Site and also when it visits certain other websites.
  • Persistent cookies are activated each time that you visit the Site and remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookie.
  • Session cookies are activated when you open the browser window and finish when you close the browser window; once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Why Do We Use Cookies And/Or Their Functional Equivalents?

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and are referred to as essential or strictly necessary cookies. We use these essential cookies to:

  • Authenticate your credentials when logging you into our Site
  • Protect your security
  • Help us detect and fight spam, abuse and other activities that violate Sayvant's terms of use

Other cookies remember information about your browser and your preferences. For example, cookies help us remember your preferred language or the country that you are in. We can then provide you with content in your preferred language without having to ask you each time you visit our Sites.

Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites. For example, these types of cookies help us test different versions of our Sites to see which particular features or content users prefer.

To help us better understand how people use our Sites, certain third parties serve cookies through our Sites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below. We don't release the information collected from our own cookies to any third parties, other than to our service providers who assist us with cookie activities.

Other Tracking Technologies (Web Beacons)

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a Site. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party Site, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns.

Flash Cookies and Local Shared Objects

While we do not use Flash cookies, our Sites may also use HTML5 local storage capabilities (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site operations. Because web browser configurations differ in the way they accept or reject LSOs, and the storage location depends on the operating system, we recommend that you follow the guidance for their removal from your web browser and operating system provider.

Targeting Advertising

Third parties may serve cookies through our site on your computer or mobile device for advertising. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other Sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. The information collected through this process does not enable Sayvant or third party service providers to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into our Site, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt-out of targeted advertising. In that case, the advertising content will just not be tailored to your interests.

How Can I Manage or Disable Cookies?

You can disable certain tracking as discussed in this section. For Strictly Necessary and Functionality cookies which are essential to our Site and which are required in order to deliver the Site to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below.

For all other cookies, web beacons and LSOs, we require your consent. You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You may refuse cookies on Sayvant's Sites by following the instructions below. Some third parties allow you to refuse their cookies universally by using the following opt-out links: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

You can set or update your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site though your access to some functionality and areas of our Site may be restricted and/or have limited functionality. You should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

You may refuse the use of Google Analytics cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Site. You can prevent Google's collection and use of data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
