Please read this cookie policy carefully as it contains information that will help you better understand the communication between the byoben.to app and your device.
1. Introduction
1.1 We use cookies to help improve your experience of our app. This cookie policy is part of the privacy policy for byoben.to, and covers the use of cookies between your device and our platform. We also provide basic information on third-party services we may use, who may also use cookies as part of their service, though they are not covered by our policy.
1.2 If you don't wish to accept cookies from us, you should instruct your browser to refuse cookies from byoben.to, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired content and services.
2. What is a cookie?
2.1 A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or app stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the service itself, a unique identifier that allows the service to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
2.2 Cookies are used to enable certain features (eg. logging in), to track usage (eg. analytics), to store your user settings (eg. timezone), and to personalise your content (eg. advertising, language).
2.3 Cookies set by the service you are using are normally referred to as "first-party cookies", and typically only track your activity on that particular service. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) are called "third-party cookies", and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
3. Types of cookies and how we use them
3.1 Essential cookies
3.1.1 Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of an app, enabling core features like user logins, account management, bookings and payment processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our platform.
3.2 Performance cookies
3.2.1 Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use an app during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all users, to help us understand usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors our users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving the overall experience. These cookies may be set by us (first-party) or by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our platform.
3.3 Functionality cookies
3.3.1 Functionality cookies are used in collecting information about your device and any settings you may configure on the app you're using (like language and timezone settings). With this information, we can provide you with customised, enhanced or optimised content and services. These cookies may be set by us (first-party) or by third-party services. We use functionality cookies for selected features on our platform.
3.4 Targeting/advertising cookies
3.4.1 Targeting/advertising cookies are used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps improve the effectiveness of campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by us (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our platform.
4. Third-party cookies on our platform
4.1 General
4.1.1 We may employ third-party companies and individuals to support byoben.to - for example, analytics providers, payment processors and content partners. We grant these third parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. As we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by this cookie policy.
4.2 Our third-party privacy promise
4.2.1 We will do our best to review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours. We will never knowingly include third-party services that compromise or violate the privacy of our users.
