Cookies
This section explains how we use cookies and similar technologies (we refer to them collectively as “cookies”) to recognize you when you visit our Sites. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control them.
a)
What are cookies?
●
A cookie is a string of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you use the same browser or device to access the Sites, our web servers will be notified of your visit to the Sites and, in turn, we may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage.
●
Cookies set by the sites or app owner (in this case, NEURALNETICS) are called “first party Cookies”. Cookies set by third parties other than the sites or app owner are called “third party Cookies”. Third party Cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the websites (e.g., like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the websites in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
●
Cookies are also categorized as “session Cookies” (which are erased once you close the browser or shut down the device) and “persistent Cookies” (which remain even after closing the browser or shutting down the device/application and which are activated each time you visit the Sites). Session cookies use encrypted data to authenticate you. Persistent Cookies do not store account numbers or passwords. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
b)
Why do we use Cookies?
●
We use first- and third-party Cookies for several reasons.
●
Some Cookies are required for technical and/or security reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” Cookies. First party Cookies are mainly served to enable basic functionality on our Sites; including web analytics Cookies that help us understand how users use our web pages and how we can improve their use. For example, we use essential or strictly necessary Cookies to enable us to remember goods added to your shopping basket and to recognize you when you sign into your account.
●
We may also use social media Cookies (if applicable). You may register for Sites membership and “share” Sites content through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes we embed videos from websites like YouTube. These websites have their own privacy policies which govern their use of information, which you can find on the respective websites.
●
We also use Cookies to enable us to track and target the interests of the Sites visitors to enhance the experience on our Sites by researching visiting patterns and conducting interest-based advertising; assisting our partners in tracking user visits to the Sites; and to track progress and participation in promotions and the success of our email marketing campaigns. We use first- and third-party Cookies for these purposes.

c)
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to our Sites. 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 enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve sites performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
d)
How can I control Cookies?
●
You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring the privacy setting of the browser you are using to access the Sites or the “privacy setting” of your device. 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. If you adjust the privacy setting in the browser, your mobile device will continue collecting data unless you adjust the privacy setting of the device, and vice versa.
