Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how RaspberryPints ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, use our mobile application, or interact with our services (collectively, the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

By continuing to use our Services, you are agreeing to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

2. 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 to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RaspberryPints) 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.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services 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 Services. Third parties serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Services and the purposes they perform are described below:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Services and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Services to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Services function.

• Session Cookies: Used to operate our Services
• Authentication Cookies: To identify you when you log in to our Services
• Security Cookies: To protect our users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts

3.2 Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Services but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

• Preference Cookies: Remember settings and preferences such as language preferences
• Feature Cookies: Recognize you when you return to our Services to enhance your experience

3.3 Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Services are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Services for you. Some of these tools also record session replays — visual recordings of how visitors navigate our Services — to help us identify usability issues and improve the experience.

• Google Analytics: Used to collect information about how visitors use our Services
• Fullstory: Used to record session replays and product analytics events so we can understand how visitors interact with our Services and identify usability issues. For visitors who are not signed in, sessions are anonymous; for signed-in users, sessions are associated with the user's account so we can provide better support and troubleshooting

3.4 Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

• Behavioral Advertising Cookies: Collect information about your browsing habits to make advertising relevant to you
• Retargeting Cookies: Show you ads for products you've previously looked at on our Services
• Affiliate Tracking Cookies: Used by PromoteKit to attribute referrals from our affiliate partners

3.5 Social Networking Cookies

These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Services through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.

• Share Buttons: For services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
• Social Media Widgets: Content from social media platforms embedded in our Services

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

4.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. Generally, you can also manage similar technologies in the same way that you manage cookies – using your browser's preferences.

Please note, if you choose to block cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other features of our Services, and portions of our Services may not work properly.

4.2 Cookie Preference Tools

We provide you with a Cookie Preference Tool when you first visit our website. You can access this tool at any time by clicking on "Cookie Preferences" in the footer of our website. This tool allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some internet browsers have "Do Not Track" or "DNT" features that tell websites that users do not want their online activities tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. We adhere to the standards outlined in this Cookie Policy.

4.4 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

For cookies and similar technologies used for advertising, you can opt out of targeted advertising by using these tools:

• Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page
• Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page (for EU users)

5. Cookies We Use

6. Other Tracking Technologies

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 Services or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Services to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Services 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.

7. Mobile Applications

When you download or use our mobile applications, we may collect information about your device and visit using technologies similar to cookies. Our mobile applications may include SDKs, which are software components provided by third parties that allow us to collect information about app usage.

8. Changes to 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 re-visit 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.
