COOKIE POLICY

Mapsted Corp., a company incorporated in Canada, having its registered office at Suite 209, 2030 Bristol Cir. Oakville, L6H 0H2, Ontario Canada, (“Mapsted”, “we”, “us”, “our”) and our affiliates, third parties, and other partners use cookies, sessions, local storage and other identification technologies on our website, and may also on mobile applications, email communications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the “Services”) for a number of purposes, such may include: authenticating users, recurrence of users, remembering user preferences and settings, such as if the user subscribed to our newsletter, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Services.

This policy explains how we use cookies and the choices you have. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, the Mapsted privacy policy found at the following link:
www.mapsted.com/legal/privacy-policy will apply to our processing of the data we collect via cookies.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that are used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits.

We also utilize other technologies that may identify you or the devices you use, such as:

• Pixel tags. Pixel tags (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, which may include for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner.
• Sessions. A session creates a file in a temporary directory on the server where registered session variables and their values are stored. A session ends when the user closes the browser or after leaving the site, the server will terminate the session after a predetermined period of time, commonly 30 minutes duration.
• Local Storage. Local storage refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache).

For avoidance of doubt, when this policy refers to “cookies”, such is construed as referring also to sessions, local storage and other similar technologies, if applicable.

If this is the case, in order to facilitate the most relevant ads possible, Mapsted works with various service providers who assist us in delivering similar ads to end users across devices and platforms.
