2. What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Vision Daily) 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., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

The social network will record that you have done this. This information may be linked to targeting/advertising activities.

Examples:

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies on our Services:

5.1 Web Beacons (Pixels)

Web beacons are small graphic images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included on our Services, in our emails, or in our advertisements. Web beacons are typically used in combination with cookies to measure the effectiveness of our content and advertising.

5.3 Software Development Kits (SDKs)

If you use our mobile applications, we may use SDKs (software development kits) which function similarly to cookies and web beacons. SDKs are pieces of code that enable data collection about your device, network, and interaction with our apps.

5.4 Device Fingerprinting

We may collect and analyze information about your device and how it interacts with our Services to create a unique identifier (or “fingerprint”) for your device. This helps us identify devices for analytics, fraud prevention, and other purposes.

6. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type:

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser or app.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, which can range from a few days to several years. Persistent cookies are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

7. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

8.7 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which can send a signal to websites indicating your choice to opt out of certain types of data processing, including data “sales” as defined under certain privacy laws.
