Cookies Policy
Last modified: November 20, 2022
This Cookie Statement explains how we use cookies and similar technologies in the course
of our business. It explains what these
technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights
to control our use of them.
This Cookie Statement is and will be treated as part of our
Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and is automatically incorporated therein.
1. 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 online service providers in order to make their websites
or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide
reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, Ipforensics)
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 or service
you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics).
The third parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your
computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also
when it visits certain other websites or services.
Why do we use Cookies and similar technologies?
The Cookies and similar technologies we use (collectively referred to as "Cookies") , including beacons, browser cookies, pixels, tags and and scripts all share one goal: to offer, measure and improve all aspects of our service continuously and in various ways. We differentiate between those Cookies, which are strictly necessary for access and navigation, others that track usage (performance Cookies), remember your choices (functionality Cookies), and Cookies that provide you with targeted content or advertising.
We use Cookies for the following purposes :
1. Access and security (strictly necessary Cookies)
- To recognize your computer when you visit our website and to facilitate logging in
- To protect your security and fight spam and abuse of our website and service (Flutterwave, reCAPTCHA)
- To prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing your account.
2. Settings (functionality Cookies)
- To remember details about your browser, site settings and preferences you have specified related to the use of our website and services (e.g. last sign-in time, time zone).
3. Analytics and research (performance Cookies)
- In an effort to properly understand the way people use our website and service, we have implemented a number of analytics, including Google Analytics. These analytics use Cookies in order to gather information and analyze site navigation and how and from which websites users reached our website and service;
4. Advertising and marketing (other Cookies)
- To personalize the website and service for you (e.g. landing page content);
- To include advertisements (e.g. on our blog pages).
What can I do to control how Cookies are used?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Browser Controls
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Ipforensics Sites though your access to some functionality and areas of our Ipforensics Sites may be restricted. 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.
Mobile Advertising
You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest Based Advertising, including those performed by us, by accessing the settings in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published instructions. If you opt out, we will remove all data about you and no further data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID we (or our third-party partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes be a new end user to our system.
Do Not Track
Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" or "DNT" signals. Since uniform standards for "DNT" signals have not been adopted, our Ipforensics Sites, Connected Sites, Landing Pages, and Websites do not currently process or respond to "DNT" signals. Ipforensics takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about "DNT", please visit All About Do Not Track.
How often will you update this Cookie Statement?
We may update this Cookie Statement 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 page regularly to stay
informed about our use of Cookies and related technologies. We'll notify
you if we make a significant change and, where required, seek your consent.
The date at the top of this statement indicates when it was last updated.
