Cookies
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at https://xlork.com (the "Websites"). 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 information that becomes personal if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work (or work more efficiently) and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner 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 on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, analytics). The parties that set these cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and 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 Websites to operate, and we refer to these as essential or strictly necessary cookies. Other cookies help us understand user interests and improve the experience across our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes (described in more detail below).
The specific types of first‑ and third‑party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on which of our online properties you visit):
Essential website cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use some of their features, such as access to secure areas.
Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | xlork.com | Essential performance/security | First‑party, HTTP | 30 minutes |
_ga | Google Analytics | Analytics and usage statistics | Third‑party, HTTP | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguish users for analytics | Third‑party, HTTP | 24 hours |
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in our Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and within our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website; however, some functionality and areas of the site may be restricted. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. Because the means by which you can do this vary from browser to browser, please visit your browser's help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. For more information, please visit aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
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 (also called tracking pixels or clear GIFs). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to monitor user traffic patterns between pages, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you arrived from an online advertisement displayed on a third‑party website, improve site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functioning.
Do you 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 your use of our services, for fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, adjust your Flash Player settings to block Flash Cookies using the tools in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies via the Global Storage Settings Panel and follow the instructions provided there (including how to delete existing Flash Cookies, prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and—on Flash Player 8 and later—how to block Flash Cookies that are not delivered by the operator of the page you are on). Please note that restricting or limiting acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to deliver 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 may interest you. They may also use technology to measure the effectiveness of ads. This can be accomplished by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other information that directly identifies you unless you choose to provide these details.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
