Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2022
This Cookies Policy applies whenever you visit a website on the Anyweb domain, unless expressly stated otherwise (collectively, the “Websites” and each a “Website”). AnyWeb is a platform that provides customers with the tools to build and manage websites, which we host on their behalf. When you visit a website one of our customer's websites, you should refer to that website's own cookie policy. Other than the Websites, this Cookies Policy does not apply to any of our services, applications, products and content, which are each subject to their own, separate, notices.
On the Websites, we use 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 you from other visitors. Tracking technologies are used by most website providers to let users navigate between pages efficiently, ensure web security, understand how their websites are used, remember user preferences and generally improve the user experience.
1. What technologies are used?
Cookies: Cookies are small text files that enable us and our service providers 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 to those websites.
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.
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.
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.
Local storage: Local storage files are created by 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). Local storage is normally used to speed up site functionality and remember your preferences.
