The
LPHADS Privacy
Policy describes
the types of information we obtain about visitors, how we use the information, with whom we share it,
and your rights and choices concerning that information. This Cookie Policy explains more about how
LPHADS and its
affiliates (collectively “LPHADS”) uses
cookies and similar tracking technologies and the choices available to you.
The
Technologies We Use
Like
most online services, we use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:
-
Cookies: Cookies
are small data files stored on your browser or device. They may be served by the entity that
operates the website you are visiting (these are called “first-party cookies”) or by other companies
(which are called “third-party cookies”).
-
Pixels: Pixels
are small images on a web page or in an email. Pixels collect information about your browser or
device and can set cookies.
-
Local
Storage: Local
storage allows data about your browser or device to be stored locally on your browser or device and
includes HTML5 local storage and browser cache.
-
SDK: SDKs
are blocks of code, typically provided by our partners that may be installed in our applications.
SDKs may help us understand how you interact with our applications and collect certain information
about the device and network you use to access our applications, such as the advertising identifier
associated with your device or information about how you interact with our applications.
How
We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
LPHADS's
service providers working on our behalf, and businesses who collect information on our Services (as
defined in the LPHADS Privacy
Policy), may automatically receive certain information associated with you and/or your device(s) as part
of your use of the Services through browser or device-based tracking technologies such as cookies,
pixels, tags, beacons, scripts, or other technology described above. The information we collect may be
used to recognize you when you visit our Services, and to collect information such as the number of
visits, which features or pages are popular, measurements about advertising displayed, and other
information about your browsing activities. This allows us to ensure our Services are functioning
properly, improve the Services, provide and measure advertisements, and provide personalized content to
you. The purposes for which we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies generally fall into
the following three categories:
-
Strictly
Necessary: Examples
include those that are used to carry out or facilitate the transmission of communications over a
network and those that are strictly necessary to provide an online service (e.g. our website or a
service on our website).
-
Functional: Examples
include those used to help ensure our Services function properly, to remember your settings and
preferences, such as your language preferences, to help identify and prevent security risks, or to
help us understand and improve our Services.
-
Performance: Examples
include those that collect information about how you interact with our Services and personalize
content for you.
-
Targeting: Examples
include those that make advertising more relevant and meaningful to visitors to our Services. These
may also include “social cookies,” which enable you to share content with your friends on social
media platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter.
What
Information We Collect Through Cookies and Similar Technologies
-
Information
about how you access the Services: When
you use the Services, we automatically collect or receive some information about how you access the
Services, including the device type, operating system, and browser you use, and how fast or stable
your internet connection is. The information we receive depends on the device you are using and
which Services you access.
-
Information
about your activity on the Services: Information
about your interactions with audio and video content, such as the type of content viewed or listened
to (including music applications such as iTunes, Spotify and Last.fm) the content viewed, and
information about your interactions with email messages we send you, such as which links you click
on, and whether the messages were opened or forwarded.
-
Unique
identifiers: IP
addresses associated with the devices you use to access the Services, Advertising IDs, Cookie IDs,
media access control (MAC) address and other unique identifiers.
-
The
information accessed through cookies and other similar technologies is used along with the other
information we collect for the purposes outlined in the Privacy Policy.
Information
Collection on Our Child-Directed Websites
Our
child-directed Services and our advertising and analytics service providers may use cookies and similar
technologies such as web beacons, pixels, ad tags, and SDKs for a variety of purposes, including to
recognize you when you visit our child-directed Services, and to collect information such as the number
of visits, which features, pages, or content are popular, to measure your browsing activities. These
technologies allow us to support and optimize the operation of our Services, including by allowing us to
help ensure our Services are functioning properly, improve the Services, and to provide and measure
contextual advertisements.
On our
child-directed Services, we do not use, or allow our partners to use, automatically collected
information, such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and other device identifiers, other than for
purposes of supporting our internal operations, such as to provide children with access to features and
activities on those Services, to customize content and improve those Services, and to serve contextual
advertising and limit the number of times you or your child see a particular advertisement. We never
allow interest-based advertising on portions of our Services that are directed to children or where we
know that the user is a child or a teen under 16.
Your
Choices
You have
the following options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies
for advertising and analytics purposes:

most browsers and devices accept cookies by default, their settings usually allow you to clear and
to decline cookies. If you disable cookies, however, some of the features of our Services may not
function properly.

Services from operating as expected and may also prevent your preferences and choices from being
stored. That may mean that if you opt-out, then block cookies, we may not know about, or be able to
