This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains how Your Cyber Tips (“us” or “we”), uses cookies, similar tracking technology and your related choices in our Services (as defined below). For more information on other ways we collect and use information from you and your use of our website at https://yourcybertips.com/ (the “Site”) please see our Privacy Policy https://yourcybertips.com/privacy-policy/ (“Privacy Policy”). In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to any applicable tracking technologies described herein.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
- Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, stored on your device to help websites and mobile apps remember things about you. Cookies can then be sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire. To learn more about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Site before or whether you are a new visitor.
- Pixel Tags (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) are transparent images, iFrames, or JavaScript placed on a website or in marketing emails that are used in order to understand how you interact with such websites or emails.
- Social Media Features, such as the Facebook “like” button, may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on a website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the relevant Social Media Features.
- Single Sign-on allows you to log in to certain websites or mobile applications using sign-in services provided by third parties, such as Facebook or Google. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us such as your name and email address to pre-populate our sign-up form.
- Ad ID is a unique number issued to you by an entity that received your permission to serve you with advertisements. The Ad ID allows persons or entities with whom you interact to gather and store information they learn about you in connection with your Ad ID. Most entities that have assigned you with an Ad ID allow you to delete or change such Ad ID and thereby prevent third parties from collecting information concerning your behavior across multiple sessions.
