COOKIES POLICY
At Giftcloud, we are deeply committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers. As part of that commitment, we believe that it is important to explain to you, as clearly as possible, how and when we use cookies and similar technologies on our website to collect and use your information.
What are Cookies? Cookies are unique identifiers, usually made up of small bits of text or code that are placed on your device. Cookies are widely used by website owners and their partners to help websites operate, work more efficiently, and personalize the experience for you. Cookies may be placed on your device by Giftcloud, which are "first party" cookies. Cookies may also be placed on your device by a party other than Giftcloud, such as our Business Partners. These are "third party" cookies. When we say "Business Partners", we mean third parties with whom we conduct business, such as our suppliers and clients who provide you with the offers through the Giftcloud services, and other companies or organizations with whom we enter into agreements to support our business and operations, including data analytics and advertising partners. Cookies endure for different periods of time, including those that only last only as long as your browser is open (referred to as 'session cookies') These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘persistent cookies', meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. For example, they recognise your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
What Cookies do we use? We use the following Cookies:
