This Cookie Policy shall be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy . This Cookie Policy is applicable regardless of how you access and make use of the OpenSync Site.

What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies?

Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website. They contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive when you make use of the OpenSync Site.

The different types of cookies include:

(i) session cookies which expire at the end of your session (e.g., when closing your browser) and enable Plume to track your activities during a particular session

(ii) persistent cookies which remain stored on your device between sessions for a predetermined period of time and enable Us, for example, to track your settings or activities on the OpenSync Site

(iii) first-party cookies which are set by Plume

(iv) third-party cookies are set by a provider other than Plume

Web beacons

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are small graphic images that are used in connection with the provision of the OpenSync Site, and which typically work in conjunction with cookies to track the use of the OpenSync Site by users. For example, when Plume sends you emails, web beacons allow Plume to track if you open the email and the links you click, which helps us measure campaign performance and improve features.

Other tracking technologies

Other tracking technologies enable Plume to track user behavior, such as by local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies and other web application software methods, all of which store information in your browser or device. Additionally, other technologies that function without local storage in your device and instead make use of, inter alia, browser functions. In this context, a “fingerprint” of your system is created that serves as a unique identifier.

This aids your experience when you use the OpenSync Site and allows us to improve the functionality of the OpenSync Site.

When you use the OpenSync Site, we collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as Cookies and browser analysis tools We may use Cookies to make sign-in and usage more efficient and to tailor your browsing preferences and improve the functionality of the OpenSync Site. Cookies can be used for performance management, collecting information on how the OpenSync Site is used for analytics purposes. They can also be used for functionality management, enabling us to make the user’s visit more efficient by, for example, remembering language preferences, passwords, and log-in details.

We may also use pixel tags, click-through URLs, and web beacons on the OpenSync Site. These are tiny graphic images placed on web pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure responses to our communications and improve our web pages.

What types of Cookies do we use?

We use session Cookies to keep you logged in while you use features of the OpenSync Site; these disappear after you close your browser. We also use persistent Cookies, which stay in your browser and allow us to recognize you when you return to the OpenSync Site.

We use the following Cookies on the OpenSync Site:

● Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary). Essential cookies are required to enable basic website functionality.

● Personalization Cookies (Functional): These cookies remember choices you make to provide you with a customized experience and to remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

● Marketing Cookies. We allow third-party advertising partners to use Cookies on the OpenSync Site to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across websites. We also work with these third-party advertising partners to market OpenSync to you on other websites, apps, and online services. For example, we use advertising services provided by third-party ad partners, such as Google Ads.

They also can limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
