1. Your Consent
When you visit or interact with our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, we or our authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to make your experience better, faster, and safer, for advertising purposes, and to allow us to continuously improve our sites, services, applications, and tools.
By continuing to use and navigate our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, you are agreeing to our use of cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies as described herein and in our Privacy Policy.
2. What are Cookies?
These technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other device that allow us to record information when you visit or interact with our websites, services, applications, messaging, and tools. Though often these technologies are generically referred to as "Cookies", each functions slightly differently:
- Cookies: These are small text files placed in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of cookies:
- Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that particular session.
- Persistent cookies are stored on your device between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
- First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (e.g., Vibe Hosting) to preserve your preferences and settings.
- Third-party cookies are set by a website or domain other than the one you are currently visiting, typically for advertising or analytics integrations.
- Web Beacons: Small files (also called "pixels", "image tags", or "script tags") loaded on our sites, applications, and tools that work in concert with cookies to identify users and provide anonymized data on their behavior.
- Similar Technologies: Technologies that store information in your browser or device utilizing local shared objects or local storage, such as Flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. We do not use these technologies for storing information to target advertising to you on or off our sites.
3. Cookie Categories
Our cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies serve various purposes, but are generally necessary or essential to the functioning of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, help us improve the performance or provide you extra functionality of the same, or help us to serve relevant and targeted advertisements.
- Strictly Necessary or Essential: These cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies let you move around the website and use essential features like secure areas, client panels, and billing setups. Without these technologies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. Accepting these technologies is a condition of using our sites, so if you prevent these from loading, we cannot guarantee your security or how our services will perform during your visit.
- Performance: These cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies collect anonymized information about how you use our website—such as which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. These do not collect any personally identifiable details and are used solely to improve how our website works, understand user interests, and measure content effectiveness.
- Functionality: Used to provide extra services or to remember your specific settings (such as layout choices or dashboard preferences) to improve your experience on repeat visits.
- Advertising & Marketing: First-party or third-party cookies and web beacons may be placed by our sites, applications, or tools in order to deliver promotional content, including product-related advertisements relevant to your specific interests on our sites or third-party sites.
