Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your browser or the hard drive of your computer when you visit our Services, and contain information that may identify you and your preferences whenever you return to our Services. They are not computer programs and they cannot access your hard drive or the information stored in it.

Basic Cookies
Basic Cookies collect session ID and user authentication information, which allows registered users to perform multiple actions within the same Service visit without having to repeatedly re-enter log-in details each time they navigate to a new webpage or perform a new function. These Cookies also help ensure that you can access registered-user-only pages, load web pages faster, and improve overall Service performance, like being able to easily share content.
These Cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or advertising purposes or remember where you have been on the internet.
We set the applicable Basic Cookies when you visit our Services because you will not be able to use our Services properly without them.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics Cookies track user behavior on our Services, such as by counting the number of visitors and how they move around our Services. This helps us improve content and the user experience by doing things such as collecting information about how you use our Services (e.g., which pages you visit, if you experience any errors) and how you interact with our communications. The information collected by these Cookies is used only to help us improve our Services, better understand user interests, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising generally.
If you disable these Cookies, we will not be able to learn how you utilize our Services, and our ability to improve the content and operation of our Services will be impaired.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality Cookies allow us to manage and control variations of Services, understand which pages are most successful, and provide enhanced services, like being able to watch a video or comment on a blog. ComplianceCow also uses functionality Cookies to collect information regarding your preferences on our Services, including your preferences for language, currency, text size, fonts, and any other parts of our Services that are customizable. If you disable these Cookies, we will not be able to remember your Service preferences and you will have to reset those preferences each time you visit our Services.

How to Opt-out by Disabling and Blocking Our Cookies
Unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse browser Cookies, our Services will issue browser Cookies as soon as you visit one of our Services. Once you have browser Cookies enabled and you visit one of our Services, we store one or more browser Cookies on your computer or device to remember you for the next time you visit. These Cookie(s) do not persist and eventually expire; however, you can update your cookies settings to delete them if you so choose before they expire by deleting your browser cookies using your Internet browser settings.
If you do not want to accept browser Cookies, you may in some cases simply configure your browser settings so that your browser: (a) declines browser Cookies automatically or (b) gives you the choice of declining or accepting a particular browser Cookie from a particular Service. You may also want to “limit ad tracking” by configuring your settings on your mobile device directly.
If you choose to reject browser Cookies, our Services may be disabled or their functionality may be impaired. In addition, turning off your browser’s cookies will prevent Cookies from measuring the relevance and effectiveness of our Services, e-mails, and advertising. You will continue to receive advertisements from third parties and possibly even from ComplianceCow, but they would not be customized to reflect your interests. We do not control whether these ads are displayed to you.
If you disable Basic Cookies, you may not be able to log in, download materials and products, or use single sign on to access the ComplianceCow Services. If you disable non-Basic Cookies, the Services should still operate overall, but you may not be able to download or view certain content.
