Cookie Policy

This “Cookie Policy” supplements the information set out in our Privacy Policy, and describes the different types of Cookies (as defined in Section 1 below) we use in connection with our Services. If you would like to learn more about our data privacy practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy. Terms that are capitalized but not defined in this Cookie Policy will have the meanings given to them in our Privacy Policy.

1. “Cookies” Explained and Why They are Used

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device that are set by us or by third parties when you visit a website or other online service. Ditto uses Cookies for purposes such as to provide content or features on our Services, to help us remember you and your preferences, and improve your user experience by making our Services more efficient and relevant to you. You can find more information about Cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.eu.

We also use a range of technologies similar in function to the traditional cookies described above, such as, such as pixel tags, also called web beacons or single-pixel tags/gifs, local or web storage, and embedded scripts. Web beacons, or “clear gifs,” and single-pixel tags/gifs, or web tags, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier placed on a website or in an email that gather information about your interaction with that website or email. Because of their small size, they are not visible. An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click. We use the term “Cookie” throughout this Cookie Policy to cover all these technologies mentioned above
