This Cookie Notice explains how BISU (referred to as "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including SDKs (collectively referred to as "cookies") on our website at bisu.me or when you visit a BISU member's profile ("User Profile"). This notice explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your rights to control their use.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device. Website owners, such as BISU, use cookies for multiple reasons, including:
- Enabling the website to function efficiently
- Providing personalized content and advertising
- Generating analytics for website improvements
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, BISU) are known as "first-party cookies". Only BISU has access to the first-party cookies it sets.
Cookies set by other entities are called "third-party cookies." These cookies facilitate features or functionalities like advertising, interactive content, and social sharing. Third-party cookies help the parties that set them recognize your device when visiting our platform as well as other partnered websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
BISU uses both first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary to provide our core services and ensure the platform functions as intended.
- Analytics & Personalization: Cookies help us perform analytics, personalize content, and improve your overall experience.
- Advertising: Cookies help deliver more relevant ads tailored to your interests.
Additionally, BISU members can adjust their settings to configure cookies on their User Profiles for their own purposes, including personalization and analytics.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies we use on our platform, along with their purposes, can be reviewed in our cookie consent tool, accessible through your cookie preferences.
Other Tracking Technologies (e.g., Web BISU)
Cookies aren't the only way to track website visits. From time to time, BISU may use similar technologies, such as web bisu.me (also called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphic files containing unique identifiers that help us understand:
- Whether users have visited specific pages on our platform
- How users navigate from one page to another
- If visitors arrived via an online advertisement
- The success of email campaigns
Web bisu work closely with cookies, so rejecting cookies may affect their performance.
How Can You Control Cookies?
Depending on your location, you may have the right to choose whether to accept or reject cookies. You can adjust your preferences at any time using our cookie consent tool, accessible by clicking Cookie Preferences on our platform. You can also control cookies set by BISU members independently on their User Profiles.
For further customization, you can modify your web browser settings to accept or refuse cookies. However, please note that refusing cookies may restrict your access to some features or areas of the website.
How Often Will We Update This Cookie Notice?
We may revise this Cookie Notice periodically to reflect changes to our cookie usage or for legal and regulatory purposes. To stay informed, please revisit this notice regularly. The date at the top indicates the latest update.
