This cookie policy (the “Cookie Policy”) outlines how and why Stackerhodlr.com (“we”, “our” or “us”) use cookies and web beacons on our Website and in our promotional electronic communications. It complements our Privacy Policy and as such should be read in conjunction with it.
What You Should Know About Cookies and Web Beacons?
What is a Cookie and What are Web Beacons?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize a device and since cookies are store on your device, it is possible for the website who “placed” such cookies to store information about your use of the website and to read that information each time you access the website. For example, cookies are often used to store information about your preferences.
There are essentially two type of cookies, first party and third party. While both types are technically the same thing and perform the same type of functions, the main difference is how they are created and how they are subsequently used.
First party cookies. First party cookies are created by the website you are visiting. A website can only access the cookies it placed itself of your device, such that for example, cookies placed when you visited a search engine cannot be accessed by our website.
Third party cookies. Third party cookies are created are set by a third party site separate from the site you are visiting and are mainly used for tracking and online-advertising purposes. They also allow website owners to provide certain services. This type of cookies can be placed through what is known as Web beacons (more on that below). As mentioned above, since a website can only access the cookies it placed, we cannot access third party cookies that are placed through our website.
Web beacons are often referred to as a pixel tag, are a clear image, usually no more than 1-pixel x 1-pixel transparent image, that is placed on a website or in an email to monitor how a user interact with specific content. Web beacons work by sending information along with the request to the third party’s web server when requesting the file, which file is different depending on the use, but can be an actual creative (an ad) or a clear pixel, which is completely invisible to the user but allows to place a third-party cookie.
Should you have any questions about how we use cookies and web beacons or how we use analytics tools, do not hesitate to contact us.
