Cookie Policy
This policy (the “Cookie Policy“) informs you of our policies regarding the deployment of cookies and similar systems when you visit moodmedia.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website“), and the choices you have associated with those technologies. The website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve the user experience and ensure that it is functioning effectively.
The website is jointly operated by Mood Media Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates around the globe (collectively, “Mood Media”; referred to also as “we” or “us”). Mood Media’s subsidiaries and affiliates are listed in the “Mood Media Entities” section of the Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.
2. How do we use cookies?
We use cookies for a range of tasks. These include allowing you to browse between pages effectively, recording and storing your preferences and generally improving your online experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you.
If you visit our website, we may deploy these technologies to provide an online service more suited to the device you visit on. When you visit our website, we collect information about your use of the site, such as information about the device or browser you use to access the site, the way you interact with it, and the IP address your device connects from. You may not be able to initiate or complete some activities within our secure online services unless these cookies or similar technologies are installed.
3. What type of cookies do we use?
3.1 First party cookies and third party cookies
First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies. Third-party services are outside of the control of Mood Media. Providers may, at any time, change their terms of service, purpose and use of cookies, etc.
3.2 Session cookies vs. persistent cookies
Some of the cookies are ‘session cookies’, which remain only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you exit your web browser. Session cookies only last as long as your online session. This means that they will disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser. They are therefore also sometimes referred to as temporary cookies. Others are ‘persistent cookies’, which remain on your device or computer for a period of time after you have exited your web browser. These cookies are sometimes called permanent cookies.
More specifically, we use the below-mentioned cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Analytical/Performance Cookies
- Functional Cookies
- Targeting/Advertisement Cookies
Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential for the running of the website. Without the use of these cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features of the website. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All the information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website.
Functional Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. Functionality cookies are used to remember user preferences so that the website can be customized for them. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting/Advertisement Cookies: Targeting or advertising cookies are used to target advertisements to the interests of users, based upon previous web browsing activity. They cannot determine who you are though, as the data collected is never linked to your profile.
