Cookie policy

Updated 24 May 2018

This policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies. This cookie policy applies to any Gogodutch product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.

Does Gogodutch use cookies?

Yes. As described in our privacy policy, we use cookies and other technologies to ensure everyone who uses Gogodutch has the best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables Gogodutch features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to Gogodutch and our sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on Gogodutch and help us serve relevant ads to you.

When does Gogodutch place cookies?

We use cookies on our site gogodutch.com and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us. We also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Gogodutch sites that host our plugins (for example, Gogodutch’s “Share” button) or tags.

What types of cookies does Gogodutch use?

We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to Gogodutch or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by Gogodutch when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services (for example, our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

What are cookies used for?

Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit Gogodutch, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that’s in line with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions with Gogodutch faster and more secure. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Gogodutch sites, and bring customized features to you through Gogodutch plugins such as our “Share” button.

Categories of Use	Description
Authentication	If you’re signed in to Gogodutch, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.
Advertising	We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off the Gogodutch site. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action (e.g. downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on the advertiser’s site. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we’ve shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with a partner to show you an ad on or off Gogodutch, such as after you’ve visited a partner’s site or application.
Performance, Analytics and Research	Cookies help us learn how well our site and plugins perform in different locations. We also use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including when you access Gogodutch from other websites, applications, or devices such as your work computer or your mobile device.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by Gogodutch may also set third party cookies.

If you are logged in on Gogodutch.com, SlideShare.net, or another Service that references this Cookie Policy or browsing a third party partner site of Gogodutch and one of our cookies on your device identifies you, your usage (such as your browsing behavior) and log data (such as your IP address), will be associated by us with your account as noted in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of our Privacy Policy. We also use aggregate data from third parties and data from your profile and Gogodutch activity.

If you are a Gogodutch member but logged out of your account on a browser, Gogodutch may still continue to log your interaction with our services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our services, which analytics we may share in aggregate form with our advertising customers.

Unless you clear these cookies from your browser, we may use this information to:

provide more relevant, interest-based advertising
provide aggregate reports of ads activity to advertisers and websites hosting the ads
help website and app owners understand how visitors engage with their sites or apps
detect and defend against fraud and other risks to protect users and partners
improve our products

Controlling cookies

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set or want them to be removed?

If you do not want to receive cookies, you can also change your browser settings on your computer or other device you’re using to access our services. If you use Gogodutch without changing your browser settings, we’ll assume that you’re happy to receive all cookies on the Gogodutch website. Most browsers also provide functionality that lets you review and erase cookies, including Gogodutch cookies. Please note that the Gogodutch site will not work properly without cookies.
