What are cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie is a little data file that is transferred by a web server to your computer, mobile phone, or tablet device (referred to as a “device” in this policy) so that the website can remember information about your browsing activity on the website. The cookie will collect information about your use of our Services, as well as information about your device, such as its IP address and browser type, broad location, and, if you came to our site via a link from another site, the URL of that site. It may also collect your name and email address if you have registered for any Services or are a subscriber, which may be sent to data processors for registered user or subscriber verification reasons.

As an alternative to cookies, we may employ “local storage” technologies in our Services. This is a type of technology that works in a similar way to cookies, such as caching data to help us improve our Services, allowing you to register for our Services, tracking activity to help us and our advertisers advertise to you in accordance with this policy, and counting the number of people who view advertisements on our Services.As an alternative to cookies, we may employ “local storage” technologies in our Services.

• Persistent cookies are saved on your device after the browser has closed for a certain length of time and are used when we (or a third party) need to identify you for a future browsing session.
• The website you’re visiting sets first-party cookies.
• Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by other companies and are utilized in our services. These include cookies from third-party analytics services that help us better understand how our sites are used, as well as cookies set by advertisers to track the effectiveness of their ads.

What is the purpose of cookies?

What’s New Dawg, in collaboration with our trusted partners, uses cookies in conjunction with other data we collect for a variety of purposes, including:

Technical Data Storage

• ‘Strictly Necessary’ or ‘Essential’ Cookies

These cookies are required for the proper operation of our Services. Parts of our websites would not work without certain cookies. These cookies do not track your online activity, do not remember your preferences beyond your current session, and do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. These are often session cookies, which expire when you close your browser window.

• Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are required for the proper operation of our Services. They’re used to remember your preferences on our websites and to give you more personalized services. We can’t identify you because the information collected by these cookies is normally anonymized. Functional cookies do not track your online activity or collect information that could be used to sell advertising, but they do aid in the delivery of advertisements. They could be set by us or by third-party companies whose services we’ve included on our page.

• Measurement and Analytical Performance Cookies

Analytical performance cookies are used to track how well our Services are doing, such as determining how many pageviews and unique users a website receives. Third-party web analytics services are possible. These cookies supply us with information that allows us to analyze user behavior patterns and improve user experience or indicate portions of the website that may require maintenance.

The information is anonymous (i.e. it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address) and it is only used for statistical purposes.

• Targeting or ‘Behavioral Advertising’ Cookies

These cookies, which may be placed on your device by us or our trusted third-party service providers, remember that you have visited a website and use that information to provide you with content or advertising which is tailored to your interests. This is known as online behavioural advertising (OBA), and it works by grouping together people with similar interests based on their web surfing habits. Your web surfing history can be used to infer information about you (e.g., your age, gender, and so on), and this information can also be used to tailor advertisements on websites to you. The content and adverts you see may be less relevant to you and your interests if these cookies are disabled. Please check How can users control or opt-out of cookies for more information about OBA, including how to opt-out of these cookies.

• Manage eCommerce activity through affiliate links and revenue-sharing agreements;
• Track general user behavior across our and third-party sites in order to create a profile based on users’ browsing tendencies so that we and third-parties can serve ads to users that are more relevant to their interests. This implies that if users visit a website with a review about a certain camera, the cookie will gather that information and we may target ads for that camera to those users, as well as third-party sites that are part of the same advertising network.

Third-party ad servers, ad agencies, technology vendors, providers of advertisement content, research firms, and other companies that help us provide more effective advertising and offer you a more personalized experience are among the trusted partners we work with in relation to targeting and behavioral advertising. These companies can collect information such as your IP address, page header information, browser or device information as your browser, app, or device communicates with the third party’s servers, just as if you had requested their web page or used their apps directly.

The social network will keep track of your actions and may use information about your visit to target ads to you in the future. We also use cookies to help us sell our own products and services on social media. For example, we use a pixel on our sites to allow Facebook to set cookies on visitors’ computers.

When a Facebook user visits our site and then returns to Facebook, Facebook can recognise them as part of a group of our site visitors and send them marketing messages on our behalf.

This information may also be used for purposes such as analyzing which of our emails are more attractive to users and personalizing email campaigns.

The AdChoices programme of the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) allows you to opt out of having your information used for interest-based advertising. Visit https://youradchoices.ca/ for additional information on this programme.

The DAAC has a tool that generates a list of third-party advertising organizations that are actively collecting data from your browser for the purposes of targeted advertising and are members of the DAAC’s Self-Regulatory Program for Online Interest-Based Advertising. You can use the tool to unsubscribe from interest-based ads.

It’s important to note that opting out through these channels does not guarantee that you won’t encounter adverts in the future. These companies will continue to send you other types of adverts, as well as any type of ad from non-participating companies. Your information may still be collected by the websites you visit for other purposes.

Please keep in mind that these are third-party websites, and What’s New Dawg has no responsibility for the information provided there.

We’ll still know how many of our emails are opened, and we’ll get your IP address, which is a unique identifier for your device or other access device, but we won’t be able to identify you.
