Use of Cookies and Other Web Technologies
 
Like many websites, Apption uses automatic data collection tools, such as cookies, embedded web links, and web beacons. These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website. Examples include your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website.
 

What are cookies?
 
We use the term cookie to refer to all technologies which store and access information on the device that you use to access our Services, such as your computer, tablet or mobile phone. For example, we use HTTP cookies, which are small data files (typically made up of numbers and letters) that are downloaded when you access our Services and allow us to recognize your device. We also use technology like pixel tags and software kits embedded in our apps.
 
There are different types of cookies, for example:
• Cookies served directly by Apption (“first party cookies”) and cookies served on our behalf, for example by advertisers and data analytics companies (“third party cookies”).
• Cookies which endure for different periods of time, including those that only last only as long as your browser is open (referred to as “session cookies”) These are automatically deleted once you close your browser. Other cookies are “permanent cookies”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. For example, they recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.
