Fanno App Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2021-10-21

This Cookies Policy applies whenever you use our App. Our App uses cookies and other tracking technologies such as software development kits (SDKs) and local storage. These technologies allow us to store information or gain access to information stored on your device to enable certain features and distinguish your device from others.

Tracking technologies are used by most apps to recognise that a device is the same as one used previously and to understand some of its characteristics so that we can improve your experience with the App. This policy explains what these technologies are and how we use them.

1. What technologies are used?

Our App uses the following kinds of technologies:

Cookies: Cookies are small text files that enable us and our service providers and partners to uniquely identify your browser or device for various purposes, including those described above. Cookies normally work by assigning a unique number to your device and are stored on your browser by the websites that you visit as well as third party service providers and partners to those websites.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Session cookies cannot be used to track your browser or device from website to website.

Other cookies are "persistent cookies", meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. Most persistent cookies are set to automatically expire after a defined duration (for example, a few days, weeks or months). When you return to that website (or visit other websites that use the same cookies) the website provider or its service providers can recognise the persistent cookies they have set and recognise your browsing device.

Local storage: Local storage files are created by apps and websites to store information locally on your device. They are very similar to cookies, but can have slightly different properties (for example, local storage can be used to store more information and can be stored in a different location on your device to cookies). Local storage is normally used to speed up app and site functionality and remember your preferences.

SDKs: SDKs are pieces of code that enable data to be collected about your device, network and interaction with a website. Like cookies, they generally operate by assigning your device a unique number.

2. Categories of tracking technologies

The types of tracking technologies used by us in connection with the provision of the App can be classified into the categories set out below.

Identification and security: We recognise you when you return to our App to make sure that you are the right user and to prevent activity that violates our policies.

For example, we check what country you are using the App from to detect if someone may be trying to fraudulently access your account.

Content personalisation: We use these technologies to ensure that we can serve you with personalised content, such as recommending certain products and/or making promotional offers available to you which we think will be of interest. We do this by giving each user a unique ID number.

Remembering your preferences: We need to remember the settings you have chosen on the App so that they work how you want them to.

For example, we use these technologies in order to remember what languages you want to see content in and the privacy settings you apply to your account.

Functionality: Functionality tracking technologies help to make the App work more efficiently and to improve and optimize your experience.

For example, we determine which device you use, the software version and the screen dimensions so that we can ensure the App functions correctly.

Analytics: We use analytics tracking technologies to analyse how you use the App, including which pages you view most often, how you interact with the content, measure any errors that occur and test different design ideas. The information is used to report and evaluate your activities and patterns as a user of the App.

For example, we may test new features to help us decide which features users prefer.

3. Do other parties use these technologies on the App?

Tracking technologies can either be “first-party” or “third-party”. First-party tracking technologies refers to tracking technologies that we set and use directly. Third-party tracking technologies refer to tracking technologies set by third parties (such as analytics service providers).

We only use first-party tracking technologies on our App.

4. How can I control these technologies?

You can control the use of such technologies for personalised advertising purposes via the settings on your device. For information on controlling your mobile choices generally, please refer to: https://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choices.

Please note that we do not use cookies or similar technology for the purposes of personalised advertising.

Refusing cookies or similar technology may mean certain functionality on the App will not operate properly.
