  24. # Cookies Policy
  25.  
  26. The Facebook company is now Meta. We’ve updated our Terms of Use, Data Policy, and Cookies Policy to reflect the new name on January 4, 2022. While our company name has changed, we are continuing to offer the same products, including the Facebook app from Meta. Our Data Policy and Terms of Service remain in effect, and this name change does not affect how we use or share data. [_Learn more about Meta_](https://about.facebook.com/meta) and our vision for the metaverse.

  28. **About Cookies**
  29.  
  30. **What are cookies?**
  31.  
  32. Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device that uniquely identifies your browser or device. We may use technologies like cookies, pixels, and local storage to deliver, secure, and understand products, services, and ads.
  33.  
  34. **What are cookies used for?**
  35.  
  36. Cookies and other technologies allow a site or services to know if your computer or device has visited it before. These technologies can then be used to deliver products, services, and ads, help us understand how the site or service is being used, help you navigate between pages efficiently, help us remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience in using our services. Cookies can also help ensure marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.
  37.  
  38. **Why does Instagram use cookies and similar technologies?**
  39.  
  40. We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to show you relevant content, improve your experience, and help protect Instagram and our users. _We may use these technologies to deliver the service, provide you with a service that is easy to use, enable you to move around the Service and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, and store information so that Instagram responds faster._ We may use these technologies to collect information about how you use the Service, for example which pages you go to most often and whether you get error messages from certain pages. _We may use these technologies to allow us to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you're in) and tailor the Service to provide enhanced features and content for you. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you've made to text size, font, and other parts of pages that you can customize._ Instagram or our advertising partners may use these technologies to deliver advertising that is relevant to your interests. These technologies can remember that your device has visited a site or service, and may also be able to track your device's browsing activity on other sites or services other than Instagram. This information may be shared with organizations outside Instagram, such as advertisers and/or advertising networks to deliver the advertising, and to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. *We may use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products and services.
  41.  
  42. **How long will cookies stay on my device?**
  43.  
  44. The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies will only stay on your device until you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted.
  45.  
  46. **First- and third-party cookies**
  47.  
  48. First-party cookies are cookies that belong to Instagram or another Meta Product. Third-party cookies are cookies that another party places on your device through our Service. Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by someone providing advertising, measurement, marketing, and analytics services to Instagram, or to provide certain features and improve our services for you. For example, other companies’ cookies can help us understand how our service is being used. Third-party cookies may also be placed on your device by our business partners so that they can use them to advertise products and services to you elsewhere on the Internet, to measure the performance and effectiveness of those ads, and to support marketing and analytics.
  49.  
  50. **How can you control cookies?**
  51.  
  52. We use cookies to help personalise and improve content and services, provide a safer experience and to show you useful and relevant ads on and off Instagram. You can control how we use data to show you ads and more by using the tools described below.
  53.  
  54.

  58. Follow the instructions provided by your website or mobile browser (usually located within the "Help", "Tools", or "Edit" facility) to control our cookies on other apps and websites, and cookies from other companies on Instagram.

  74. # How Google uses cookies
  75.  
  76. This page describes the types of cookies and other technologies used by Google. It also explains how Google and our partners [use cookies in advertising](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en-US).
  77.  
  78. Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. They help that website remember information about your visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you. Other technologies, including unique identifiers used to identify a browser, app or device, pixels, and local storage, can also be used for these purposes. Cookies and other technologies as described throughout this page can be used for the purposes described below.
  79.  
  80. See the [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US) to learn how we protect your privacy in our use of cookies and other information.
  81.  
  82. # Types of cookies and other technologies used by Google
  83.  
  84. Some or all of the cookies or other technologies described below may be stored in your browser, app, or device. To manage how cookies are used, including rejecting the use of certain cookies, you can visit [g.co/privacytools](https://g.co/privacytools). You can also [manage cookies in your browser](https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=en-US#managing-cookies) (though browsers for mobile devices may not offer this visibility). Other technologies used to identify apps and devices may be managed in your device settings or in an app’s settings.
  85.  
  86. ### Functionality
  87.  
  88. Cookies and other technologies used for functionality allow you to access features that are fundamental to a service. Things considered fundamental to a service include preferences, like your choice of language, information relating to your session, such as the content of a shopping cart, and product optimizations that help maintain and improve that service.
  89.  
  90. Some cookies and other technologies are used to maintain your preferences. For example, most people who use Google services have a cookie called ‘NID’ or ‘ENID’ in their browsers, depending on their cookies choices. These cookies are used to remember your preferences and other information, such as your preferred language, how many results you prefer to have shown on a search results page (for example, 10 or 20), and whether you want to have Google’s SafeSearch filter turned on. Each ‘NID’ cookie expires 6 months from a user’s last use, while the ‘ENID’ cookie lasts for 13 months. Cookies called ‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ and ‘YEC’ serve a similar purpose for YouTube and are also used to detect and resolve problems with the service. These cookies last for 6 months and for 13 months, respectively.
  91.  
  92. Other cookies and technologies are used to maintain and enhance your experience during a specific session. For example, YouTube uses the ‘PREF’ cookie to store information such as your preferred page configuration and playback preferences like explicit autoplay choices, shuffle content, and player size. For YouTube Music, these preferences include volume, repeat mode, and autoplay. This cookie expires 8 months from a user’s last use. The cookie ‘pm_sess’ also helps maintain your browser session and lasts for 30 minutes.
  93.  
  94. Cookies and other technologies may also be used to improve the performance of Google services. For example, the ‘CGIC’ cookie improves the delivery of search results by autocompleting search queries based on a user’s initial input. This cookie lasts for 6 months.
  95.  
  96. Google uses the ‘CONSENT’ cookie, which lasts for 2 years, to store a user’s state regarding their cookies choices. Another cookie, ‘SOCS’, lasts for 13 months and is also used to store a user’s state regarding their cookies choices.
  97.  
  98. ### Security
  99.  
  100. Cookies and other technologies used for security help to authenticate users, prevent fraud, and protect you as you interact with a service.
  101.  
  102. The cookies and other technologies used to authenticate users help ensure that only the actual owner of an account can access that account. For example, cookies called ‘SID’ and ‘HSID’ contain digitally signed and encrypted records of a user’s Google Account ID and most recent sign-in time. The combination of these cookies allows Google to block many types of attack, such as attempts to steal the content of forms submitted in Google services.
  103.  
  104. Some cookies and other technologies are used to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse. For example, the ‘pm_sess’, ‘YSC’, and ‘AEC’ cookies ensure that requests within a browsing session are made by the user, and not by other sites. These cookies prevent malicious sites from acting on behalf of a user without that user’s knowledge. The ‘pm_sess’ cookie lasts for 30 minutes, while the ‘AEC’ cookie lasts for 6 months. The ‘YSC’ cookie lasts for the duration of a user’s browsing session.
  105.  
  106. ### Analytics
  107.  
  108. Cookies and other technologies used for analytics help collect data that allows services to understand how you interact with a particular service. These insights allow services to both improve content and build better features that enhance your experience.
  109.  
  110. Some cookies and other technologies help sites and apps understand how their visitors engage with their services. For example, [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/?hl=en_US) uses a set of cookies to collect information and report site usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google. ‘_ga’, the main cookie used by Google Analytics, enables a service to distinguish one visitor from another and lasts for 2 years. Any site that implements Google Analytics, including Google services, uses the ‘_ga’ cookie. Each ‘_ga’ cookie is unique to the specific property, so it cannot be used to track a given user or browser across unrelated websites.
  111.  
  112. Google services also use ‘NID’ and ‘ENID’ cookies on Google Search, and ‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ and ‘YEC’ cookies on YouTube, for analytics.
  113.  
  114. ### Advertising
  115.  
  116. Google uses cookies for advertising, including serving and rendering ads, personalizing ads (depending on your settings at [myadcenter.google.com](https://myadcenter.google.com/?ref=privacy-policy&hl=en_US) and [adssettings.google.com/partnerads](https://adssettings.google.com/partnerads?hl=en_US)), limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a user, muting ads you have chosen to stop seeing, and measuring the effectiveness of ads.
  117.  
  118. The ‘NID’ cookie is used to show Google ads in Google services for signed-out users, while the ‘ANID’ and ‘IDE’ cookies are used to show Google ads on non-Google sites. If you have personalized ads enabled, the ‘ANID’ cookie is used to remember this setting and lasts for 13 months in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK), and 24 months everywhere else. If you have turned off personalized ads, the ‘ANID’ cookie is used to store that setting until 2030. The ‘NID’ cookie expires 6 months after a user’s last use. The ‘IDE’ cookie lasts for 13 months in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK), and 24 months everywhere else.
  119.  
  120. Depending on your ad settings, other Google services like YouTube may also use these and other cookies and technologies, like the ‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ cookie, for advertising.
  121.  
  122. Some cookies and other technologies used for advertising are for users who sign in to use Google services. For example, the ‘DSID’ cookie is used to identify a signed-in user on non-Google sites and to remember whether the user has agreed to ad personalization. It lasts for 2 weeks.
  123.  
  124. Through Google’s advertising platform, businesses can advertise in Google services as well as on non-Google sites. Some cookies support Google showing ads on third-party sites and are set in the domain of the website you visit. For example, the ‘_gads’ cookie enables sites to show Google ads. Cookies that start with ‘_gac_’ come from Google Analytics and are used by advertisers to measure user activity and the performance of their ad campaigns. The ‘_gads’ cookies last for 13 months and the ‘_gac_’ cookies last for 90 days.
  125.  
  126. Some cookies and other technologies are used to measure ad and campaign performance and conversion rates for Google ads on a site you visit. For example, cookies that start with ‘_gcl_’ are primarily used to help advertisers determine how many times users who click on their ads end up taking an action on their site, such as making a purchase. Cookies used for measuring conversion rates are not used to personalize ads. ‘_gcl_’ cookies last for 90 days.
  127.  
  128. See more information about cookies used for advertising [here](https://business.safety.google/adscookies/?hl=en_US).
  129.  
  130. ### Personalization
  131.  
  132. Cookies and other technologies used for personalization enhance your experience by providing personalized content and features, depending on your settings at [g.co/privacytools](https://g.co/privacytools) or your app and device settings.
  133.  
  134. Personalized content and features include things like more relevant results and recommendations, a customized YouTube homepage, and ads that are tailored to your interests. For example, the ‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ cookie may enable personalized recommendations on YouTube based on past views and searches. And the ‘NID’ cookie enables personalized autocomplete features in Search as you type search terms. These cookies expire 6 months after a user’s last use. Another personalization cookie, ‘UULE’, sends precise location information from your browser to Google’s servers so that Google can show you results that are relevant to your location. The use of this cookie depends on your browser settings and whether you have chosen to have location turned on for your browser. The ‘UULE’ cookie lasts up to 6 hours.
  135.  
  136. Non-personalized content and features are distinct from personalized content and features insofar as they are influenced by things like the content you’re currently viewing, your current Google search, and your general location.
  137.  
  138. # Managing cookies in your browser
  139.  
  140. Most browsers allow you to manage how cookies are set and used as you’re browsing, and to clear cookies and browsing data. Also, your browser may have settings letting you manage cookies on a site-by-site basis. For example, Google Chrome’s settings at chrome://settings/cookies allow you to delete existing cookies, allow or block all cookies, and set cookie preferences for websites. Google Chrome also offers Incognito mode, which deletes your browsing history and clears cookies on your device after you close your Incognito windows.
  141.  
  142. # Managing other technologies in your apps and devices
  143.  
  144. Most mobile devices and applications allow you to manage how other technologies, such as unique identifiers used to identify a browser, app or device, are set and used. For example, the Advertising ID on Android devices or Apple’s Advertising Identifier can be managed in your device’s settings, while app-specific identifiers may typically be managed in the app’s settings.
  145.  
  146. # Cookie Policy
  147.  
  148. Effective on June 3, 2022
  149.  
  150. At LinkedIn, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy applies to any LinkedIn product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. We use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and mobile ad IDs (collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”) to collect and use data as part of our Services, as defined in our [Privacy Policy](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy) (“Services”) and which includes our sites, communications, mobile applications and off-site Services, such as our ad services and the “Apply with LinkedIn” and “Share with LinkedIn” plugins or tags. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use these technologies. 
  151.  
  152. By continuing to visit or use our Services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described in this policy.

  157.  
  158. |Type of technology|Description|
  159. |---|---|
  160. |Cookies|A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables LinkedIn features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-LinkedIn sites that display ads or that host our plugins or [tags](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/65521).<br><br>We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie lasts beyond the current session and is used for many purposes, such as recognizing you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to LinkedIn and interact with our Services without signing in again. Since a persistent cookie stays in your browser, it will be read by LinkedIn when you return to one of our sites or visit a third party site that uses our Services. Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).|
  161. |Pixels|A pixel is a tiny image that may be embedded within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.|
  162. |Local storage|Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the LinkedIn experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.|
  163. |Other similar technologies|We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy includes pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.|

  187. ## What third parties use these technologies in connection with our Services?
  188.  
  189. Third parties such as our customers, partners and service providers may use cookies in connection with our Services.
  190.  
  191. For example, third parties may use cookies in their LinkedIn pages, job posts and their advertisements on and off LinkedIn for their own marketing purposes. For an illustration, please visit [LinkedIn’s Help Center](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/83251).
  192.  
  193. Third parties may also use cookies in connection with our off-site Services, such as LinkedIn ad services. Third parties may use cookies to help us to provide our Services. We may also work with third parties for our own marketing purposes and to enable us to analyze and research our Services.
  194.  
  195. ### Your Choices
  196.  
  197. You have choices on how LinkedIn uses cookies and similar technologies. Please note that if you limit the ability of LinkedIn to set cookies and similar technologies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it may no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
  198.  
  199. ### Opt out of targeted advertising
  200.  
  201. As described in [Section 2.4 of the Privacy Policy](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy), you have choices regarding the personalized ads you may see.
  202.  
  203. LinkedIn Members can adjust their settings [here](https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_cookie-policy).
  204.  
  205. Visitor controls can be found [here](https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_cookie-policy).
  206.  
  207. Some mobile device operating systems such as Android provide the ability to control the use of mobile advertising IDs for ads personalization. You can learn how to use these controls by visiting the manufacturer’s website. We do not use iOS mobile advertising IDs for targeted advertising.
  208.  
  209. ### Browser Controls
  210.  
  211. Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which may be adapted to reflect your consent to the use of cookies. Further, most browsers also enable you to review and erase cookies, including LinkedIn cookies. To learn more about browser controls, please consult the documentation that your browser manufacturer provides.
  212.  
  213. ### What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
  214.  
  215. DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. As such, LinkedIn does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.

  225. Cookies on Pinterest
  226.  
  227. Our privacy policy describes how we collect and use information, and what choices you have. One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called “cookies", and similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage and software development kits (SDKs). We use cookies for all kinds of things on Pinterest.
  228.  
  229. What’s a cookie
  230.  
  231. In real life, it’s a delicious baked good. You can find lots of delicious cookie recipes on Pinterest.
  232.  
  233. But in technology, a cookie is something completely different. When you go online, you use a program called a “browser” (like Apple’s Safari or Google’s Chrome). Most websites store a small amount of text in the browser—and that text is called a “cookie.” Other technologies function similarly to collect data about your browsing activity. Learn more about other technologies in the Help Center. This policy refers to these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
  234.  
  235. We use session cookies (that last until you close your browser) or persistent cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we use persistent cookies to store your language preferences or other settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit Pinterest.
  236.  
  237. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your Pinterest account (including information about you, such as the email address you gave us) and other cookies are not.
  238.  
  239.  
  240. How we use cookies
  241.  
  242. There are four categories of cookies we may use: 
  243.  
  244. - **Essential cookies** are required so Pinterest works in the way you expect. Examples of these types of cookies are login cookies which keep you logged in as you scroll through Pinterest or search for Pins.
  245. - **Analytics cookies** which are used for internal analytics and include cookies from providers like Google Analytics.
  246. - **Personalization cookies** for customizing content, including ads. 
  247. - **Marketing cookies** which are used for advertising Pinterest to you off of Pinterest. 
  248.  
  249. What we do with the cookies in each category
  250.  
  251. Essential cookies- We may use essential cookies to remember your settings and preferences, like the language you prefer and your privacy settings.
  252. - Essential cookies let you log in and out of Pinterest.
  253. - Essential cookies are just one way we protect you from security risks. For example, we use them to detect when someone might be trying to hack your Pinterest account or spam the Pinterest community.
  254.  Analytics cookies- We use analytics cookies to make Pinterest better. For example, these cookies tell us how many people use a certain feature and how popular it is, or whether people open an email we send.
  255. - We also use cookies to help advertisers understand who sees and interacts with their ads, and who visits their website or purchases their products.
  256. - Sometimes we hire security vendors or use third-party analytics providers to help us understand how people are using Pinterest. Just like we do, these providers may use cookies. Learn more about the third-party providers we use.
  257.  Personalization cookies- We may use cookies to help us remember your preferences, or which Pins, boards, people or websites you’ve interacted with so we can show you related content you might like.
  258. - We may also use cookies to help an advertising service we partner with show you interesting ads. For example, if you bought a tent from an advertiser that uses a Pinterest partner’s service, they could ask us to show you an ad for a camping stove. If you’d like to opt-out of these services you can do so in your settings.
  259.  Marketing cookies- Sometimes we hire advertising vendors so that we can market Pinterest products on other websites and apps.  These providers may use cookies to provide this service to us. If you’d like to opt-out of these services you can do so in your settings.
  260.  
  261. Where we use cookies
  262.  
  263. We use cookies on pinterest.com, in our mobile applications, and in our products and services (like ads, emails and applications). We also use them on the websites of partners who use Pinterest’s Save button, Pinterest widgets or ad tools like conversion tracking.
  264.  
  265. Your options
  266.  
  267. There are a few ways you can choose how cookies are used on Pinterest:
  268.  
  269. If you’re located in the EU or UK you can adjust your cookie preferences at any time by visiting your Privacy settings and editing your Cookies Preferences. If you’ve consented to a category of non-essential cookies and later change your mind, you can immediately revoke consent by turning off that cookie category in your settings.
  270.  
  271. In the Personalization section of your settings, you can decide whether we use info from our partners and other services to personalize Pinterest for you or whether we use information we learn about you on Pinterest to market Pinterest to you on other sites and apps. Learn more about your options in the Help Center.
  272.  
  273. There are also online tools such as Digital Advertising Alliance's Browser Check site which allow you to choose how cookies are used throughout the web based on the device and browser you are using.
  274.  
  275. Your browser probably gives you cookie choices. For example, most browsers let you block “third-party cookies,” which are cookies from sites other than the one you’re visiting. Those options vary from browser to browser, so check your browser settings for more info. 
  276.  
  277. Some browsers also have a privacy setting called “Do Not Track,” which we support. This setting is another way for you to decide whether we use info from our partners and other services to customize Pinterest for you. Learn more in the Help Center.
  278.  
  279. Finally, your mobile device has settings that allow you to control how ad partners can use information about your use of mobile applications to show ads to you.  On  Android devices, this setting is called “Opt out of Ads Personalization.”  On Apple devices you can adjust your choice by selecting Privacy and then Tracking. Learn more in the Help Center.

  284. # **TikTok Platform Cookies Policy**
  285.  
  286. _Last Updated: 5 November 2020_
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. This Cookies Policy applies whenever you see our Platform. “**Platform”** includes any services provided by TikTok, including the advertiser and developer products available via [TikTok For Business](https://www.tiktok.com/business/en-GB) and [TikTok for Developers](https://developers.tiktok.com/), with the exception of those described in our separate [Website Cookies Policy](https://www.tiktok.com/legal/tiktok-website-cookies-policy?lang=en). Where we refer to “**TikTok**”, “**we**” or “**us**” in this Cookies Policy, we mean TikTok Technology Limited, an Irish company, and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, a UK company.
  291.  
  292. Like many websites and apps, our Platform uses cookies and other tracking technologies such as software development kits (SDKs), pixels and local storage. These technologies allow us to store information or gain access to information stored on your device to enable certain features and distinguish your device from others. Tracking technologies are used by most apps to recognise that a device is the same as one used previously and to understand some of its characteristics so that we can serve you advertising, measure the performance of those ads, and to improve your experience. This policy explains how we use these technologies, and the choices you have to control them. Unless otherwise stated in this policy, our [Privacy Policy](https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy?lang=en#privacy-eea) applies to the data we collect.
  293.  
  294. ## **1. What technologies are used?**
  295.  
  296. Our Platform uses the following kinds of technologies:
  297.  
  298. Cookies: Cookies are small text files that enable us and our service providers and partners to uniquely identify your browser or device for various purposes, including those described above. Cookies normally work by assigning a unique number to your device and are stored on your browser by the websites that you visit as well as third party service providers and partners to those websites. 
  299.  
  300. Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Session cookies cannot be used to track your browser or device from website to website.
  301.  
  302. Other cookies are "persistent cookies", meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. Most persistent cookies are set to automatically expire after a defined duration (for example, a few days, weeks or months). When you return to that website (or visit other websites that use the same cookies) the website provider or its service providers can recognise the persistent cookies they have set and recognise your browsing device.
  303.  
  304. Local storage: Local storage files are created by apps and websites to store information locally on your device. They are very similar to cookies, but can have slightly different properties (for example, local storage can be used to store more information and can be stored in a different location on your device to cookies). Local storage is normally used to speed up app and site functionality and remember your preferences.
  305.  
  306. Application Programmable Interface (API): An API is a piece of software which helps two or more applications to talk to one another. We use them to communicate between TikTok and our service providers.
  307.  
  308. Software Development Kits (SDKs): SDKs are pieces of code that enable data to be collected about your device, network and interaction with a website. Like cookies, they generally operate by assigning your device a unique number.
  309.  
  310. Pixels: Pixels are small 1 pixel x 1 pixel invisible image files that are embedded in certain website pages.  They can be used to collect information about your visit to that website page.  
  311.  
  312. When you open a website page with an embedded pixel, the page will automatically run simple code that downloads the 1x1 image file to your device.  At the same time, the code also passes certain information about your device and your actions on the website. Your interest in the website can then be logged and used for analytics or advertising purposes.
  313.  
  314. Mobile advertising IDs: Your device has a unique number used by TikTok and our service providers to recognise your device. Where you have provided your consent, this allows personalised ads to be delivered to your device and to measure the effectiveness of those ads. [Learn more](https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/cookie-policy/en#how-can-i-control) about how to control your advertising ID.
  315.  
  316. ## **2. Categories of tracking technologies**
  317.  
  318. The types of tracking technologies used by us and our partners in connection with the provision of the Platform can be classified into the following categories. Some of these categories are “essential” to provide you with the services you have requested, such as to allow you to log into secure areas of the Platform. The following is a list of of the categories of tracking technologies we use:
  319.  
  320. Identification and security: We recognise you when you return to our Platform to make sure that you are the right user and to prevent activity that violates our policies. 
  321.  
  322. For example, we check what country you are using the TikTok app from to detect if someone may be trying to fraudulently access your account.
  323.  
  324. Content personalisation: We use these technologies to ensure that we can serve you with personalised content. 
  325.  
  326. For example, each User is given  a unique TikTok ID number. We use this to provide you with tailored content that will be of interest to you.
  327.  
  328. Remembering your preferences: We need to remember the settings you have chosen on the Platform so that they work how you want them to. 
  329.  
  330. For example, we use these technologies in order to remember what languages you want to see content in, the privacy settings you apply to your account and/or videos and your Digital Wellbeing choices.
  331.  
  332. Functionality_:_ Functionality tracking technologies help to make the Platform work more efficiently and to improve and optimize your experience.
  333.  
  334. For example, we determine which device you use, the software version and the screen dimensions so that we can ensure the TikTok app functions correctly. We also determine whether your battery is running low so that we can optimise the TikTok app and we make sure that content loads and plays correctly.
  335.  
  336. Analytics: We use analytics tracking technologies to analyse how you use the Platform, including which pages you view most often, how you interact with the content, measure any errors that occur and test different design ideas. The information is used to report and evaluate your activities and patterns as a user of the Platform.
  337.  
  338. For example, we may test new video creation features to help us decide which features users prefer.
  339.  
  340. Advertising and measurement: Our Platform uses advertising and measurement tracking technologies. These tracking technologies help us and our advertisers show you relevant advertising and measure the performance of ad campaigns. We also use these technologies to promote TikTok on the other platforms and websites and measure their effectiveness.
  341.  
  342. For example, we will learn from our advertiser about whether you viewed their products or bought something so we can learn how effective the ad was. If you’ve already shown interest in an ad, we might show you it again, or we might limit the number of times we show it to you. 
  343.  
  344. ## **3. Do other parties use these technologies on  our Platform?**
  345.  
  346. Tracking technologies can either be “first-party” or “third-party”. First-party tracking technologies refers to tracking technologies that we set and use directly. Third-party tracking technologies refer to tracking technologies set by third parties (such as our analytics or advertising service providers).
  347.  
  348. Our partners may use these technologies on our Platform to help us and our advertisers understand how effective their ads are and to compare this to their campaigns on other websites and apps. You can find a list of these partners in the [Cookies Partner List](https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/cookie-policy/en#cookies-list).
  349.  
  350. ## **4. How can I control these technologies?**
  351.  
  352. You can control how these technologies are used:
  353.  
  354. - **Personalised Ads in the TikTok app.** You are in full control of whether TikTok serves you with personalised ads in the TikTok app. We do not serve personalised ads without your consent. You can switch on personalised ads by clicking on “Me” in the TikTok app, visiting the settings page by pressing on the three dots in the top right corner, then clicking on “Personalization and data” then using the toggle. You can change this setting at any time.
  355.  
  356.  
  357. - **Advertising ID.** You can tailor your device settings to control your advertising ID:
  358.  
  359.  
  360.  
  361. - On Apple devices, you can enable the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting in your device settings.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. - On Android devices, you can enable the “Opt out of Ads Personalization” in your device settings.
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. - **Partner opt-outs.** Many of the partners we work with also provide opt-outs on their own websites. You can find details of this in their own policies, which are linked to from our [Cookies Partner List](https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/cookie-policy/en#cookies-list).
  369.  
  370.  
  371.  
  372. As mentioned above, some uses of these technologies are essential for the functioning of the Platform and so you cannot deactivate them. 
  373.  
  374. ## **5. Where can I find more information about these technologies?**
  375.  
  376. If you would like to find out more about these technologies, you may find the following links useful:

  549. # How cookies are used on Twitter
  550.  
  551. Cookies and similar technologies like pixels and local storage provide you with a better, faster, and safer experience on Twitter. Cookies are also used to operate our services, which include our websites, applications, APIs, pixels, embeds, and email communications. Specifically, Twitter uses these technologies to:
  552.  
  553. - Keep you logged in to Twitter.
  554. - Deliver features and functionality of Twitter services.
  555. - Save and honor your preferences.
  556. - Personalize the content you see.
  557. - Protect you against spam and abuse.
  558. - Show you more relevant ads.
  559. - Provide subscription features and distribute certain content.
  560. - Understand how you interact with our services and where we can improve.
  561. - Measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing.
  562. - Rate how our services perform and identify bugs and other quality issues. 
  563. - Gather data used to operate our business — from measuring our audience size to enforcing the [Twitter Rules](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules.html). 
  564.  
  565. [What are cookies, pixels, and local storage?](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies#what-are-cookies)
  566.  
  567. [Why do our services use these technologies?](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies#why-do-services-use)
  568.  
  569. [Where are these technologies used?](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies#where-are-tech-used)

  571. [What are my privacy options?](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies#what-privacy)
  572.  
  573. [More privacy options](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies#more-privacy)
  574.  
  575. What are cookies, pixels, and local storage?
  576.  
  577. **Cookies** are small files placed on your computer as you browse the web or use a web-enabled app. We use cookies to operate our services, discover how people use our services, understand how to make them work better and more. See above for more examples of how we use cookies. 
  578.  
  579. **Pixels** are small amounts of code placed on a web page, in a web-enabled app, or an email. We use pixels, some of which we provide to advertisers to place on their web properties, to learn whether you've interacted with specific web or email content — as many services do. This helps us measure and improve our services and personalize your experience, including the ads and content you see.
  580.  
  581. We use **local storage** to save data on your computer or mobile device. We use data from local storage to turn on web navigation, maintain video player preferences, customize what we show you based on your past interactions with our services, remember your preferences, and measure ad effectiveness. We may also use local storage on other websites, where necessary to provide you certain features, to obtain information about your visits to those sites.
  582.  
  583. Why do our services use these technologies?
  584.  
  585. Cookies, pixels, and local storage work to operate and support our business, and to help provide you with an improved experience. They're used across the following categories:
  586.  
  587. - Authentication and security
  588. - Functionality
  589. - User preferences
  590. - Analytics
  591. - Research and development
  592. - Personalized content
  593. - Advertising
  594. - Marketing
  595. - Personalization across devices
  596.  
  597. **Within each of these categories, cookies, pixels, and local storage help us:**
  598.  
  599. **Authentication and security
  600. **Authenticate your Twitter access to show you relevant content. They also help prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your account. We use these technologies to:
  601.  
  602. - Log you in to Twitter and our services.
  603. - Help protect your security and the security of our services.
  604. - Let you view content with limited distribution.
  605. - Help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that break the [Twitter Rules](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-rules.html).
  606.  
  607. **Functionality
  608. **Deliver error messages, allow you to switch between accounts, coordinate our service across tabs in a browser, and provide certain features on partner websites. 
  609.  
  610. **User preferences
  611. **Remember information about your browser and your preferences.
  612.  
  613. **Analytics**
  614.  
  615. - Improve and understand how people use our services, including buttons and widgets.
  616. - Optimize your experience by understanding how you interact with our services, like when and how often you use them and what links you visit, and from where. (We may use [Google Analytics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage) to help us with this.) 
  617. - Count the number of people who have seen a particular Tweet, embedded Tweets, buttons, or timeline. [Learn more](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/privacy).
  618.  
  619. **Research and development**
  620.  
  621. - Gather data about how you use our services, including how our services perform. This helps us detect issues, understand where we may improve, or develop new products or services.
  622. - Test updates to Twitter services, as well as build new features, functionality, and services. 
  623.  
  624. **Personalized content**
  625. Personalize our services in areas like trends, stories, ads, and suggestions for people to follow with more relevant content. We also use:
  626.  
  627. - Local storage to tell us which parts of your Twitter timeline you've viewed already so that we can show you new content.
  628. - Cookies to suggest who you might enjoy following based on your visits to websites with integrated Twitter services.
  629.  
  630. **Advertising**
  631. Personalize ads and measure performance, like showing you ads and evaluating their effectiveness based on your visits to our ad partners' websites. This helps advertisers provide you with high-quality ads and content that may be more interesting to you. We'll also:
  632.  
  633. - Deliver ads, measure their performance, and make them more relevant to you based on criteria, like your activity on Twitter and visits to our ad partners' websites.
  634. - Work with third-party advertising partners, including Google, to market our services.
  635.  
  636. **Marketing
  637. **Deliver our email and web marketing campaigns and to understand our marketing effectiveness.
  638.  
  639. **Personalization across devices
  640. **Understand which devices you used so that we can personalize your experience on all of your devices.
  641.  
  642. Keep in mind, if you ever log in to Twitter with your device, we associate and will continue to associate that device with your account. This means whether or not you're logged in, we'll receive information about your device(s) when information is shared by a partner, you visit twitter.com or third-party websites that integrate Twitter services, or you visit a Twitter advertiser's website or mobile application. Most commonly, IP addresses and the time we receive the data, are used to link that specific device with you. 
  643.  
  644. To see more about the devices and web browsers associated with your Twitter account, take a look at [Your Twitter Data](https://twitter.com/your_twitter_data) when you're logged in **and** when you're logged out of your account. 
  645.  
  646. ### Where are these technologies used?
  647.  
  648. We (along with third parties) use these technologies on Twitter services, which includes our websites, applications, and services and on other websites, applications, and services that have integrated Twitter services, including third-party properties that incorporate our advertising technology. This includes our ad partners’ websites and sites that use our embeds, including embedded timelines. Third parties may also use these technologies, for example, when you click on links from Twitter services, view or interact with third-party content in Twitter services, or visit third-party websites that incorporate our advertising technology.
  649.  
  650. ### What are my privacy options? 
  651.  
  652. We're committed to giving you meaningful privacy options to control or limit how we, our partners, and other third-parties use cookies and cookie-related data:
  653.  
  654. Twitter [stores information](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/tailored-suggestions.html) about other websites where you've seen Twitter content or accessed our services. For most Twitter features you can adjust this by going to: _Settings and privacy > Privacy and safety > Off-Twitter activity > Allow use of where you see Twitter content across the web_. However, for certain paid subscription features, even if you make this adjustment we will still store certain information where doing so is necessary for that feature to work. We will tell you about this storage when you sign up for these features.  
  655.  
  656. If you’ve turned this off, or are in the EU,  Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, we won't store or use these web page visits to improve your experience in the future. However, if we've previously stored your web browsing history, we may continue to personalize your experience based on information we've already learned from that history.
  657.  
  658. You will always see ads on Twitter based on your Twitter activity. There are a variety of ways you can adjust the way Twitter uses your data for ads. You can use the following tools:
  659.  
  660. - **Personalized ads setting in Twitter
  661. **Adjust your setting for use of off-Twitter data by going to _Settings and privacy > Privacy and safety > Ads preferences > Personalized ads_.
  662. - **Interest-based advertising for web
  663. **Opt-out in your current browser through the Digital Advertising Alliance's consumer choice tool at [optout.aboutads.info](https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN).
  664. - **Limit ad tracking for iOS version 13 and earlier**
  665. Turn on this setting through your iOS device settings (precise instructions vary by version). 
  666. - **Ads personalization for Android**
  667. Opt out through your device settings (precise instructions vary by version). 
  668. - **Allow apps to request to track for iOS version 14 and later** 
  669. Turn off the setting through your device settings (precise instructions vary by version). 
  670. - **Personalize based on your inferred identity setting in Twitter**
  671. Adjust the setting by going to _Settings and privacy > Privacy and safety > Off-Twitter activity > Personalize based on your inferred identity_. This controls whether we link your account to browsers or devices other than the ones you use to log into Twitter (or if you're logged out, whether we link the browser or device you're currently using to any other browsers or devices).
  672. - **Cookie settings through web browsers** 
  673. Most browsers will request your permission to use cookies. Note that if you turn off cookies entirely, Twitter services may not work correctly or you might have trouble logging into twitter.com.
  674.  
  675. ### More privacy options 
  676.  
  677. Along with [optout.aboutads.info](https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN), you can read more about opting out of interest-based ads at [networkadvertising.org/choices](https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1). Lastly, you can opt-out of interest-based Google ads using [Google's Ads Settings](https://adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated).
  678.  
  679. **Important:** To view or change web settings for your Twitter account, you'll need to log in to the web browser. Changing your Twitter settings in the web browser when you’re logged out will only affect behavior on that browser while you aren't logged in to Twitter. Read our article on how to access your [personalization and data settings](https://help.twitter.com/en/personalization-data-settings.html) for more.

  681. The cookies you encounter depend on the features and functionality you use. The most commonly used cookies on Twitter services are described in this [chart](https://cdn.cms-twdigitalassets.com/content/dam/help-twitter/rules-and-policies/cookie-description-lists/cookie-description-list-en.pdf), which we update from time to time. Cookie lifespans are capped at 13 months in certain areas.

  2352. As stated in our [Privacy Policy](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy"), Wikimedia believes strongly in the values of privacy and transparency. To that end, we’ve created this Cookie Statement as a clear reference guide to the use of cookies on Wikimedia Sites. This Cookie Statement explains how we use cookies (and other locally stored data technologies), how we use third-party cookies, and how you can manage your cookie options. For more information on our privacy practices, please visit our [Privacy Policy](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy").
  2353.  
  2354. The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that hosts the Wikimedia Sites, actively collects some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include [tracking pixels](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy/Glossary_of_key_terms#tracking-pixel "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms"), [JavaScript](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy/Glossary_of_key_terms#javascript "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms"), and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as [cookies](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy/Glossary_of_key_terms#cookies "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms") and [local storage](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy/Glossary_of_key_terms#local-storage "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms").
  2355.  
  2356. ## What is a cookie?
  2357.  
  2358. A “cookie” is a tiny data file that we transfer onto your computer, mobile phone, or any other device that you use to access the Wikimedia Sites, and is generally used for authentication and tracking. Every cookie expires after a certain period of time, but that period varies depending on what the cookie is used for and how your browser is configured.
  2359.  
  2360. Cookies are often categorized based on how long they remain active before they expire. A “session” cookie is one that generally expires when you close your web browser or mobile application. A “persistent” cookie is one that remains in your device, even after you close your browser or mobile application.  A persistent cookie expires according to the duration set by us, or when you delete it manually. You can [learn more about cookies on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:HTTP_cookie "w:en:HTTP cookie").
  2361.  
  2362. You may remove or disable cookies through your browser settings. For more information on how to manage your cookie options, please see [Section 3](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Cookie_statement#options) of this Cookie Statement below.
  2363.  
  2364. For more information on this and other key terms that may be relevant, please read through our [Privacy Policy Glossary](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy/Glossary_of_key_terms "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms").
  2365.  
  2366. ## What types of cookies does Wikimedia use and for what purposes?
  2367.  
  2368. Cookies are not required in order to read or edit the Wikimedia Sites. We use the information we receive from cookies and other locally-stored data technologies to make your experience with the Wikimedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and interactions with the Wikimedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. Cookies are required in order to login and for your edits to be associated to a user account; without cookies, your edits will be anonymous and unassociated with an account.
  2369.  
  2370. We use cookies, JavaScript, tracking pixels, and other locally-stored data technologies to accomplish different purposes. Below is a list of the categories of cookies we use and what they are used for.

This allows us to better understand your user experience on the Wikimedia Sites and helps us improve them for you and other users — for instance, by making sure users are finding what they need easily. Other examples include:
  2402.  
  2403. - remembering pages visited, and actions taken on the Wikimedia sites so we can optimize the pages;
  2404. - remembering if users get error messages from web pages;
  2405. - storing your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly;
  2406. - remembering the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you;
  2407. - remembering the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.
  2408.  
  2409. Here are a few examples:

  2416.  
  2417. **Third-Party:**
  2418.  
  2419. We will never use third-party cookies on our wikis unless we get your permission to do so. These cookies would allow us to render services provided by third parties, such as “like” and “share” buttons. When a third party provides these kinds of services, they may require the use of a cookie in order to provide their services.

  2421. If you ever come across a third-party cookie transferred to your device during your access of the Wikimedia wiki sites, where you did not take any action to authorize the use and/or transfer of that cookie  (such as one that may have been mistakenly placed by another user or administrator), please report that cookie to us at privacy![@](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/At_sign.svg/15px-At_sign.svg.png)wikimedia.org.

  2423. **A note about Wikimedia Foundation non-wiki sites:**
  2424.  
  2425. Some non-wiki Wikimedia Foundation sites are hosted by a third-party service provider.
  2426.  
  2427. Sites hosted by WordPress VIP may have the WordPress Stats module enabled. Stats is a service that allows us to understand how many visitors we get to our WordPress-hosted non-wiki sites, their location by country, and which pages, posts and links are the most popular. Only the Wikimedia Foundation and the service provider, Automattic/WordPress, have access to the raw Stats data, which is retained for a maximum of 30 days. For more information about Stats, see WordPress’ [support page on the module](https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/).
  2428.  
  2429. Sites hosted by Civilized Discourse Construction Kit, Inc., known as Discourse forums, use cookies for functionality purposes and to store preferences. Only the Wikimedia Foundation and the service provider have access to the raw data. For more information about the cookies and their retention periods, see Discourse’s [information about cookies](https://www.discourse.org/privacy#heading--cookies). Please note that the Wikimedia Foundation has not configured its Discourse forums to use Google Analytics, serve advertisements, or process donations; Discourse cookies related to those purposes are not used in our Sites.

  2431. ## What are my cookie options?
  2432.  
  2433. While this is not a comprehensive list, below are some of the things that you can do to limit use of cookies and other locally-stored data technologies on your device. While cookies and other locally-stored data technologies may not be necessary to use our sites, some features may not function properly if you disable them.
  2434.  
  2435. You can:
  2436.  
  2437. - remove or disable specific locally-stored data on your browser’s settings (you can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent);
  2438. - use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or
  2439. - install a plug-in to block locally-stored data, if one is available.
  2440.  
  2441. Turning off the browser’s cookies will prevent tracking pixels from tracking your specific activity. A tracking pixel may still record an anonymous visit from your IP address, but unique information will not be recorded. If you do not want to receive tracking pixels, you will need to disable HTML images in your browser-based email client, and that may affect your ability to view images in other emails that you receive.
  2442.  
  2443. ## Where can I find more information?
  2444.  
  2445. Please read through our [Privacy Policy](https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy "Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy policy") for more information. If you have any further questions, contact privacy![@](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/At_sign.svg/15px-At_sign.svg.png)wikimedia.org.
