Thank you for visiting VA Smart Lab (“Service”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the “Service”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
To learn more about how we process Personal Information please refer to our Privacy Policy.
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 website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, VA Smart Lab) 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 (e.g. like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.Why do we use cookies?
We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties may serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below. The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Service and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit) :Essential website cookies:
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. ■ How to refuse: Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Service to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, however, as described below under the heading “How I can control cookies?”Performance and functionality cookies:
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Service but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.Analytics and customization cookies:
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Service is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Service for you.Advertising cookies:
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.Social networking cookies:
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Service through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too. ■ It is your right to refuse any cookies that are non-essential. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading “How I can control cookies?”What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Service from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects
Our Service may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.Third-party’s targeted advertising
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.How can I control cookies?
