This Cookie
Policy explains how TerraWhisper uses cookies and
similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at
https://terrawhisper.com
. It explains what these
technologies
are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of
them.
In some
cases
we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if
we
combine it with other information.
What
are
cookies?
Cookies are
small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work
more
efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set
by
the website owner are called
"first-party
cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party
cookies."
Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or
through
the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set
these
third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
and
also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do
we
use cookies?
We use
first-
and third-
party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order
for
our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary"
cookies.
Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve
cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail
below.
How can I
control cookies?
You have
the
right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by
setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows
you to
select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be
rejected as
they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie
Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to
reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and
areas
of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to
accept
or refuse cookies.
The
specific
types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they
perform
are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online
Properties you visit):

How
can I
control cookies on my browser?
As the means by which you can refuse
cookies
through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help
menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most
popular

What
about
other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are
not
the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use
other,
similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking
pixels"
or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that
enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website
or opened an email including them.
This
allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic
patterns of users from one page within a
website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand
whether
you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a
third-party
website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email
marketing
campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to
function
properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use
Flash cookies or Local Shared
Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as
Local
Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use
of
our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can
adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools
contained in
the Website Storage Settings
Panel. You can
also
control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings
Panel and following
the
instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete
existing
Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs
from
being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later)
how
to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on
at
the time).
Please note
that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or
impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash
applications
used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted
advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device
to
serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to
this
and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you
may
be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of
advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information
about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about
goods
and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does
not
enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly
identify
you unless you choose to provide these.
How
often
will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may
update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect,
for
example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory
reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about
our
use of cookies and related technologies.
The
date at
the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last
updated.
