Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables BharatScanner features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Amigos sites that display ads, host our plugins or tags.

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

Pixels

A pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

Local Storage

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the Amigos experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.

Other Similar Technologies

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy include pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

Purpose

Description

Authentication

We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you're logged in so we can make it easier for you to access the BharatScanner Products and show you the appropriate experience and features.

For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between BharatScanner Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you do not have to keep logging in to BharatScanner and so you can more easily log in to BharatScanner via third-party apps and websites.

Security

We use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure.

For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.

We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the BharatScanner Products.

For example: Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake BharatScanner accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm. Cookies also help us prevent underage people from registering for BharatScanner accounts.

Advertising, recommendations, insights and measurement

We use cookies and similar technologies to customize your experience on our Services.

For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search

We use cookies to help us show ads and to make recommendations for businesses and other organisations to people who may be interested in the products, services or causes they promote.

For example: Cookies allow us to help deliver ads to people who have previously visited a business's website, purchased its products or used its apps and to recommend products and services based on that activity. Cookies also allow us to limit the number of times that you see an ad so you don't see the same ad over and over again.

We also use cookies to help measure the performance of ad campaigns for businesses that use BharatScanner Products.

For example: We use cookies to count the number of times that an ad is shown and to calculate the cost of those ads. We also use cookies to measure how often people do things such as click on or view ads.

Cookies help us serve and measure ads across different browsers and devices used by the same person.

For example: We can use cookies to prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again across the different devices that you use.

Cookies also allow us to provide insights about the people who use the BharatScanner Products, as well as the people who interact with the ads, websites and apps of our advertisers and the businesses that use the BharatScanner Products.

For example: We use cookies to help businesses understand the kinds of people who like their BharatScanner Page or use their apps so they can provide more relevant content and develop features that are likely to be interesting to their customers.

We also use cookies to help you opt out of seeing ads from BharatScanner based on your activity on third-party websites. Learn more about the information we receive, how we decide which ads to show you on and off the BharatScanner Products and the controls that are available to you.

Plug ins and Off BharatScanner

We use cookies and similar technologies to enable BharatScanner plugins both on and off the BharatScanner sites.

For example, our plugins, including the “Share” button may be found on BharatScanner or third-party sites, such as the sites of our customers and partners. Our plugins use cookies and other technologies to provide analytics and recognize you on BharatScanner and third-party sites. If you interact with a plugin (for instance, by clicking “Apply”), the plugin will use cookies to identify you and initiate your request to apply.

Site features and services

We use cookies to enable the functionality that helps us provide the BharatScanner Products.

For example: Cookies help us store preferences, know when you've seen or interacted with BharatScanner Products' content and provide you with customised content and experiences. For instance, cookies allow us to make suggestions to you and others, and to customise content on third-party sites that integrate our social plugins. If you are a page administrator, cookies allow you to switch between posting from your personal BharatScanner account and the Page.

We also use cookies to help provide you with content relevant to your locale.

For example: We store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so that you will see the site in your preferred language.

Performance

We use cookies to provide you with the best experience possible.

For example: Cookies help us route traffic between servers and understand how quickly BharatScanner Products load for different people. Cookies also help us record the ratio and dimensions of your screen and windows and know whether you've enabled high-contrast mode, so that we can render our sites and apps correctly.

Cookies and similar technologies help us learn more about how well our Services and plugins perform in different locations.

We or our service providers use these technologies to understand, improve, and research products, features and services, including as you navigate through our sites or when you access BharatScanner from other sites, applications or devices.

Analytics and research

We, or our service providers, use these technologies to determine and measure the performance of ads or posts on and off BharatScanner and to learn whether you have interacted with our websites, content or emails and provide analytics based on those interactions.

We also use these technologies to provide aggregated information to our customers and partners as part of our Services.

If you are an BharatScanner member but logged out of your account on a browser, BharatScanner 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. We may share these analytics in aggregate form with our customers.

We use cookies to better understand how people use the BharatScanner Products so that we can improve them.

For example: Cookies can help us understand how people use the BharatScanner service, analyse which parts of the BharatScanner Products people find most useful and engaging, and identify features that could be improved.
