Cookie Policy

Revision Number: 003

This Cookie Policy explains how CDNetworks (including its affiliates worldwide, collectively “CDNetworks”, “we”, “our” and “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies, such as web beacons, JavaScript, etc., to remember your preferences, provide you with a more personalized and efficient browsing experience on our websites.

What are cookies

A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent by the website’s server to your web browser and stored locally on your computer or mobile device. You have the option to permit installation of such cookies or disable them at any time after allowing them. You may accept all cookies, or set your preferences to accept certain cookies, or choose to accept only strictly necessary cookies. In general, cookies can be divided into the following categories:

From a website domain perspective, cookies are either from a first party, or third party:

  1. First-party cookies are directly set by our website and only our website can read them. These cookies allow us to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience.
  2. Third-party cookies are created by other domains. When you visit the CDNetworks websites you may notice some cookies that are not related to us. If you go on to a web page that contains embedded content, for example from Facebook or YouTube, you may be sent cookies from these websites. We do not control the generation of these cookies, so we suggest that you check the individual third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them. CDNetworks has no control over third-party cookies.

 

From the lifespan perspective, cookies are either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  1. Session cookies are stored while you’re browsing. They remain active as long as the browser remains active – once the browser is closed, such cookies vanish.
  2. Persistent cookies are saved on your computer, so they don’t get deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are used when we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, they are used to remember your preferences for the next time you visit.

What kind of cookies do we use

This section explains the three broad categories of cookies used by CDNetworks:
