2.1 Cookies and Data Collection Tools

Majoritas and service providers acting on our behalf (such as, but not limited to, Google Analytics and third-party advertisers) use server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags, scripts, customized links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (together, “Data Collection Tools”) when you access and use the Services.

We use cookies (small files that websites send to your device to uniquely identify your browser or device or to store data in your browser) for purposes related to analyzing your use of the website, personalizing your experience, making it easier to log in to the website, and recognizing you when you return. We use web beacons (small objects that allow us to measure the actions of visitors and users using the website) for purposes related to identifying whether a page was visited, identifying whether an email was opened, and advertising more efficiently by excluding current users from certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new mobile app download. Some of the third-party partners who provide certain features on our site may also use Local Storage Objects (also known as flash cookies or LSOs) to collect and store data.

We use this data to improve the website, better understand how the website performs on different devices, and provide information that may be of interest to you.

2.3 Online Advertising

We use third-party advertising services like Facebook Ads, Google AdWords, and other ad networks and servers to deliver advertising about our website on other websites and applications you use. The ads may be based on information we collected about you, such as your Usage Data and System Data (as detailed in Section 1), and data that these ad service providers know about you based on their tracking systems.

To help deliver tailored advertising, we may provide these service providers with a hashed, anonymized version of your email address (in a non-human-readable form) and content that you share publicly on the Services.

When using mobile applications, you may also receive tailored in-app advertising.

Your password is an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it. You should not share your password with any third party, and if you believe your password or account has been compromised, you should change it immediately and contact us at contact@majoritas.com with any concerns.
