1. INTRODUCTION

Our Cookies Policy (“Policy“) applies to all websites (“Websites“) operated by or on behalf of S2 Global, Inc. and/or its parent company and subsidiaries (hereafter “S2“, “we“, “us“, “our“).  This Policy sets out how we collect and process information about you on our Websites through the use of cookies and similar technologies. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them as well as your rights to control our use of them.

2. 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, S2) 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.

3. HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST FOR?

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’. These exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘persistent cookies’. These cookies survive after your browser is closed until a defined expiration date. They can be used by websites to recognise your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons.  The specific types of first party and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending the specific Website you visit):

5. 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”) to better tailor our Websites in order to provide a better service.  These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites.  These technologies usually work in conjunction with cookies. To disable cookies used on our Websites, and therefore any other tracking technologies that work in conjunction with these cookies, please follow the instructions below.

6. DO WE USE FLASH COOKIES OR LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS?

Our Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to collect and store information about when you visited the Websites.  They may also contain tracking and settings information.

You may learn more information about these Cookies or LCOs from Adobe’s website at http://www.adobe.com/privacy/cookies.html.

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.

7. DO WE SERVE TARGETED ADVERTISING?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to target advertising through our Websites. 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 personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.

8. HOW ELSE DO WE USE COOKIES?
