COOKIE
POLICY
Last
updated January 6, 2023.
This Cookie Policy explains how Watershed Web
Works ("Company", "we", "us",
and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize
you when you visit our websites at https://www.waraqata.store ("Websites").
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 (in this
case, Watershed Web Works) 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.
like 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 Websites 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 Websites for advertising, analytics and other
purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific
types of first and third party cookies
served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below
(please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the
specific Online Properties you visit):
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. 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.
In addition,
most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.
If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com or http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
The specific types of first and third party
cookies served through our Websites 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):
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 enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail 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 e-mail 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 Websites.
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. This
can be accomplished by them 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
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.
