Our Cookie Policy

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 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.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site 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 Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Site for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. It allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be accessed by clicking on the fingerprint symbol in the lower left corner of each page on our Site. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use Discovering Love Online though your access to some functionality and areas of our Site may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

Analytics and customization cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Site is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize your experience.

Advertising cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. We currently do not use any advertising cookies on our Site.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

Since 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.

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 the Digital Advertising Alliance, Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada and/or European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

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 (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one webpage to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve website performance and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Some websites may use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of their services, fraud prevention and for other website operations. Adobe, who created Flash Player, stopped supporting it on December 31, 2020 and blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player on January 12, 2021. You can visit Adobe’s Flash Player end-of-life page for more details. This Site does not use Flash Cookies or LSOs.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through a website. These companies may use information about your visits to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The data collected through this process does not enable them to identify your name, contact information or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these. We currently do not serve targeted advertising.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

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. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
