Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sprootal uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information when you visit our websites or any sites or services that link to this Cookie Policy. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons and encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically. Terms not otherwise defined in this Cookie Policy have the meaning given to them in the Sprootal Terms of Service. For further information on how we use Personal Data that we collect, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Sprootal) 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). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our websites. Third parties serve cookies through our websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

4. Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

4.1 Manage your cookie preferences

When you visit our websites for the first time, a cookie consent banner will ask you to accept, decline or manage your cookie preferences. If you are visiting our sites from outside the European Union, all cookies will drop unless you decline or manage your preferences. You can also manage your preferences at any time by clicking "Manage Cookies" in the footer of our websites. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, however your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. The cookie choices you make are browser and/or device specific. If you clear your cookies from your browser on any of your devices, your choices will need to be reset.

4.2 Manage cookies using your browser

In addition to managing your cookie preferences through our sites, you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

4.3 Universal Opt-Out mechanism

The Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a tool that you can use to inform websites of your privacy preferences in regard to ad trackers. To set up GPC, you need to configure it on your browser or use browser extensions that support GPC. Please note that this may impact the functionality of our websites or your account.

4.4 Opt Out of Advertising Cookies

You can opt out of advertising cookies through Sprootal's "Manage Cookies" tool.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

• http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

You may opt out by visiting:

• http://optout.aboutads.info/

If located in the European Union, you may opt out by visiting:

• http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/

Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic advertisements.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use other technologies such as clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs or tracking pixels), that help us better manage our websites, products and services by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. For example, we use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications, collect data on deliverability and monitor Sprootal's network health. We tie the information gathered by clear gifs in emails to our customers' Personal Data.
