What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a commonly-used web technology that allow websites to store and retrieve certain information on a user’s system and track users’ online activities. Semperis and its third-party partners may collect information about your use of our websites by using Cookies. Cookies may help us automatically identify you when you return to our websites, help us find ways to improve the websites, and reveal traffic patterns so we can identify popular portions of our websites.
Cookies can be first-party or third-party. A first-party cookie is one that you receive directly from us when using our websites. A third-party cookie is one that you have received from another party. We do not control what third parties do on other websites. However, we may work with certain third-party providers to permit their cookies to function through our websites so we can learn more about your experience with our websites and track the performance of our websites.
A persistent cookie is a cookie that is stored by the web browser on your device until it expires or you delete it. The expiration of a persistent cookie is determined by the creator of the cookie and can be upon a certain date or after a length of session time has passed. This means that, for the cookie’s entire lifespan, its information will be transmitted to the creator’s server every time the user visits the website that it belongs to or another website configured to check for that cookie. By contrast, a session cookie is created temporarily on your device for use by a website during your visit. This type of cookie may store information you enter and track your activity within the website, but it is deleted after you leave the website or when the web browser is closed.
What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
Semperis and its third-party partners use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our websites.
- Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how users move around our websites when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our websites work.
- Functional Cookies: These are used to recognize a visitor when he or she returns to our websites. This enables us to personalize our content for each user and remember user preferences.
- Targeting Cookies: These cookies store the information on the behavior of the users which are obtained via their browsing habits, which enable relevant ads to be offered to them based on their interests. They are also used to limit the number of times an ad is displayed and help measure the efficiency of advertising campaigns. The deletion of these cookies shall not prevent the display of the ad.
When you visit or use our websites, the information we and our third-party partners may collect by using Cookies includes, for example: (i) usage details about your interaction with our websites (such as the date, time, and length of visits, and specific pages or content accessed during the visits, search terms, frequency of the visits, referring website addresses); (ii) device information including the IP address and other details of a device that you use to connect with our websites (such as device type and unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, mobile network information, and the device’s telephone number) and (iii) location information, where you choose to provide the website or app with access to real-time information about your device’s location.
The information generated by the Cookies about your use of our websites (including your IP address) may be transmitted by us or our third-party partners to locations other than the one in which you reside, including in the United States.
Information collected may be used, alone or in combination with information about you we obtain from other sources (like our data partners and offline customer data), to amongst other things, deliver advertising targeted to your interests, including to serve ads related to our products or services when you access and use other websites and to better understand the usage of the websites tracked by these third parties. This Statement does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, Cookies or other tracking technologies in third party ads, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

How Are Other Tracking Technologies Used?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (also called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) or via the use of JavaScript (placed within the code of our websites). Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email that we have sent them. JavaScript is short code built into our websites and these scripts activate when you request an HTML page with JavaScript in it. The script is sent to the browser and serves a similar purpose to a web beacon as, if the script is initiated, it allows us to infer you have either opened or done something on a particular page. These technologies allow us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our websites to another, count visits, deliver or communicate with Cookies, understand whether you have come to our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, improve website performance, monitor website navigation patterns and feature usage, and understand email reads and marketing campaign effectiveness. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. We may also use “device fingerprinting” or “browser fingerprinting”. This is technology used to identify particular machines or browsers in order to detect and prevent fraud and for information and network security. Declining cookies may not affect device or browser fingerprinting.
Do I Have to Provide My Consent?
The installation of certain Cookies is subject to your consent, when their exclusive purpose is not to allow or facilitate browsing. If required by applicable law, when you visit Semperis websites, you will be presented with a cookie banner which allows you to accept or decline cookies. A cookie will be installed in order to memorize your choice. Please note, however, that if you delete this cookie, you will be asked to agree again. You can reconsider your choice at any time, either by deleting the refusal cookie or by way of the different means described in the Section below.
How Can I Control Cookies?
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You may exercise your cookie preferences generally by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse all cookies. You can clear cookies from your browser at any time.

Semperis interprets the use of a “Do Not Track” signal as an objection to the placement of targeting cookies, however, this may not work for all Do Not Track signals as there is no standardization at this time.
