What cookies are

A cookie is a small software file stored temporarily on your computer’s hard drive. The main purpose of cookies is to allow a web server to identify a user’s computer and web browser and tailor web pages or login information to a user’s preferences. Cookies help us promptly display the information needed to use the capabilities of the Service and other information which we consider to be of interest to visitors to the Website and users of the Service. Cookies do not give us access to your computer.

Cookies and your personal data

Some cookies are associated with your account and personal data, while others are not. We generally treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal data. However, to the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal data by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal data.

Types of cookies we use

Cindicator uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enable functionality of its Services, and to assist with marketing its products and services to interested individuals. The following chart explains how we generally use cookies:

  1. Authentication. These cookies help us show you the right information by personalizing the Services to your account;
  2. Security. These cookies help us detect suspicious or malicious activity on our Services and support other security features;
  3. Preferences and functionality. These cookies allow our Services to recognize you and your preferences. For example, they can auto-fill a form for you, provide you with customized content, remember your application settings, and more;

Both first-party and thirdparty cookies can serve many functions, including analytics, marketing, and advertising. We use third-party advertising and analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service and to share offers with individuals who may be interested in our Services.

Retention of Data

We retain personal data where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, we'll take into account the following criteria to determine a retention period:

• Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;

• Whether the data is necessary to provide the Services;

• Whether our customers have the ability to access and delete the data within their Cindicator accounts;

• Whether our customers would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their Cindicator accounts are closed or terminated.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
