1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Vosk Softwares ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our SaaS custom software development application (the "Application"). We believe in transparency and want you to understand how we use these technologies to enhance your experience and provide our services.
2. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies serve various functions, such as remembering your preferences, analyzing your website usage, and delivering personalized advertisements. They are essential for the smooth operation of many websites and contribute to a more user-friendly browsing experience.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:
Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the Application to function properly. They enable you to navigate the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, some services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Examples: Session management cookies, security cookies, and load balancing cookies.
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Application, such as which pages they visit most often and if they get error messages from web pages. This information is used to improve how the Application works and to understand user behavior. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Examples: Analytics cookies, which measure website traffic and usage patterns, and performance monitoring cookies, which track website performance and identify areas for improvement.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Application to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Examples: User preference cookies, which store your preferences for website settings, and personalization cookies, which tailor the website content to your interests.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.
Examples: Retargeting cookies, which track your browsing activity across different websites to show you relevant ads, and behavioral advertising cookies, which track your interests and preferences to deliver personalized ads.
4. Types of Cookies
In addition to categorizing cookies by their purpose, we can also classify them based on their origin and duration:
First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by the website you are visiting. They are typically used for essential functions, performance tracking, and functionality.
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a different domain than the website you are visiting. They are often used for advertising and social media integration.
Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are typically used to manage your session on the website.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and track your activity over time.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing your cookie preferences:
Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our Application, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to choose which types of cookies you want to allow. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.
Browser Settings: You can usually modify your browser settings to block all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you block all cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our Application. Each browser has its own way of managing cookies. You can find instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser's help section.
Third-Party Tools: You can also opt out of targeted advertising by using tools provided by third parties, such as the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out tool. These tools allow you to opt out of receiving personalized ads from participating advertising networks.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. While we strive to offer you choices regarding the information we collect, the Application currently does not respond to DNT signals.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies.
