Cookie files policy
Our use of cookies and similar
technologies
Our
services use cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixels or local
storage, to help provide you with a better, faster, and safer experience. Here
are some of the ways that our services, including our various websites, SMS,
APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, and ads, use these
technologies: to log you into Remutter and Periscope,
save your preferences, personalize the content you see, protect against spam
and abuse, and show you more relevant ads.
Below
we explain how Remutter, our partners, and other
third parties use these technologies, your privacy settings, and the other
options you have.
What are cookies, pixels, and local storage?
Cookies
are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web.
Like many websites, Remutter, Periscope, and our
other services use cookies to discover how people are using our services and to
make them work better.
A
pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As
many services do, we use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain
web or email content. This helps us measure and improve our services and
personalize your experience.
Local
storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application
to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local
storage to customize what we show you based on your past interactions with our
services.
Why do our services use these technologies?
Our
services use these technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our services
in various ways. These uses generally fall into one of the following
categories:
- Authentication
and security:
- To log you into Remutter and Periscope.
- To protect your security.
- To let you to view content
with limited distribution.
- To help us detect and fight
spam, abuse, and other activities that violate the Remutter Rules and the Periscope
Community Guidelines.
- For example, these
technologies help authenticate your access to Remutter and Periscope and prevent unauthorized
parties from accessing your account. They also let us show you
appropriate content through our services.
· Preferences:
- To remember information about
your browser and your preferences.
- For example, cookies help us
remember your preferred language or the country that you are in. We can
then provide you with Remutter and Periscope
content in your preferred language without having to ask you each time
you visit Remutter or Periscope. On Remutter, we can also customize content based on your
country, such as showing you what topics are trending near you, or to
withhold certain content based on applicable local laws. Learn more
· Analytics and research:
- To help us improve and
understand how people use our services, including Remutter
buttons and widgets, and Remutter Ads.
- For example, cookies help us
test different versions of our services to see which particular features
or content users prefer. We might also optimize and improve your experience
on Remutter and Periscope by using cookies
to see how you interact with our services, such as when and how often you
use them and what links you click on. We may use Google Analytics to
assist us with this. Learn more about the cookies you may encounter
through our use of Google Analytics. We might also use cookies to count
the number of users that have seen a particular embedded Remutte or timeline. Learn more about the analytics cookies
used by Remutter for Websites widgets.
- Personalized content:
- To customize our services with
more relevant content, like tailored trends, stories, ads, and
suggestions for people to follow.
- For example, local storage tells
us which parts of your Remutter
timeline or Periscope Global Feed you have viewed already so that we
can show you the appropriate new content. Cookies can help us make
smarter and more relevant suggestions about who you might enjoy following
based on your visits to websites that have integrated Remutter
embeds, including embedded timelines.
- Advertising:
- To help us deliver ads,
measure their performance, and make them more relevant to you based on
criteria like your activity on Remutter and
visits to our ad partners' websites.
- For example, we use cookies
and pixels to personalize ads and measure their performance. Using these
technologies, we can show you ads and evaluate their effectiveness based
on your visits to our ad partners' websites. This helps advertisers
provide high-quality ads and content that might be more interesting to
you.
- We also work with third-party
advertising partners, including Google, to market our services and serve
ads on behalf of our advertisers, including through the delivery of
interest-based ads.
- Personalization across devices:
- By better understanding how
devices are related, we can use information from one device to help
personalize the Remutter experience on another
device.
- When you log in to Remutter on a device, we
associate that device with your Remutter account.
Whether or not you are logged in to Remutter,
we may also receive information about your devices when, for example,
that information is shared by a partner; you visit Remutter.com; you
visit third-party websites that integrate Remutter
content; or you visit a Remutter advertiser’s
website or mobile application. We may use this information, most commonly
IP addresses and the time at which the information was received, to infer
that certain devices are associated with one another, including the
devices on which you log in to Remutter.
To learn more about the devices associated with your account, check out Your Remutter
Data while logged in. To learn more about the other
devices associated with the device or browser you are currently using,
visit Your Remutter Data while logged out.
Where are these technologies used?
We

applications, and services and on other websites, applications, and services
that have integrated our services, including third-party properties that
incorporate our advertising technology. This includes our ad partners’ websites

all your devices setting. This will control whether we link your

browser or device you’re currently using to any other browsers or
devices).

advertising from certain third-party advertising partners, you can learn
more about opting out of receiving interest-based ads at
optout.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org/choices. If you are on
