What are Cookies?

Cookies are small, text files that a website stores on a user’s device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when they visit that site. These files contain data specific to a particular user and website and can be accessed either by the web server or the user’s client device.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on a user’s device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when they visit that site. These files contain data specific to a particular user and website and can be accessed either by the web server or the user’s client device. Cookies enable websites to recognize a user who has previously visited a site with the same cookie, and to record a user’s browsing activity. The term “cookie” is used in this Cookies Notice in the broad sense to include all similar techniques and technologies, including pixels, web beacons and log files.

Cookies can help ensure that websites operate correctly and efficiently. Beyond the essential operational uses, cookies also can be used for other purposes:

1. Functionality and Personalization: Cookies are commonly used to recall a user’s specific settings and activities, which facilitates personalization. This includes remembering language preferences, font sizes, login credentials (when permitted by the user), and items previously viewed.
2. Session Management: “Session cookies” are crucial for managing a user’s current interaction with a website. They allow the website to recognize subsequent page visits as coming from the same user within a single session, which is vital for secure operations and smooth navigation.
3. Analytics: Cookies can gather insights into how visitors utilize a website. This aggregated data is essential for website analytics, allowing site owners to identify the most popular sections, track visitor navigation patterns, and ultimately enhance the site’s performance and content.
4. Targeted Advertising: A common use, particularly for third-party cookies (set by a domain other than the one the user is currently visiting), is for advertising purposes. These cookies track a user’s activity across multiple websites to build a profile of their interests, enabling the delivery of more relevant, targeted advertisements.

Consent

If you are a resident of the EU/UK, under the EU/UK e-Privacy Directive, your consent is required for the use of all cookies other than those that are Strictly Necessary.

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the proper operation of the Website and its services, and therefore do not require consent.

Where required by law, when you access the Website, a management platform informs you about the use of these technologies and provides a mechanism to give or refuse consent for non-essential online trackers. Through this management panel, you have the option to accept or reject all non-essential cookies, or to manage your preferences in a granular manner based on the cookie’s purpose.

How Sayari Uses Cookies (Including Third-Party Cookies)

Sayari uses both first-party cookies, which we set, and third-party cookies, which are set by our partners or service providers, as described further below. 

Cookies Used on our Website

We classify the cookies we use into the following categories. If you are a resident of the EU or UK, we also provide information about our legal basis for use of each category of cookies below:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
   • Description: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site and using our product. Without these, services like secure login cannot be provided.
   • Sayari Product Cookies: The cookies we use within our product are solely for authentication purposes to ensure secure and authorized access. These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled as the product would not function without them.
   • Legal Basis: Legitimate interest. Consent is not required as these are strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service requested by the user (exempt under ePrivacy rules).
2. Performance Cookies (Analytics)
   • Description: These collect information about how visitors use the website (e.g., pages visited most often, error messages) to help us understand how users interact with our services, and improve our services and marketing.
   • Legal Basis: Consent.
3. Functionality Cookies
   • Description: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features (e.g., remembering changes to text size or fonts) to improve services.
   • Legal Basis: Consent.
4. Targeting/Advertising Cookies
   • Description: These are used to tailor and deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests across platforms, limit the number of times you see an ad, and measure campaign effectiveness. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with advertisers.
   • Legal Basis: Consent.

Approved third-party partners may place certain cookies when you use our Website. These third parties assist us by:

• Helping us analyze how visitors use our site.
• Improving our pages’ performance.
• Delivering content or advertisements that are more relevant to your interests.
• Measuring the effectiveness of our communications.

Please note that the third-party providers we utilize may change over time. While our notices describe the types of partners involved, they may not list every provider operating on our site at all times.

Your Cookie Controls and Options / How to Withdraw Consent

If you are in the EU/UK, you have the right to choose whether or not to accept non-essential cookies and to revoke your consent at any time by:

1. Using the “Cookie Settings” Link: You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the  “Cookie Settings” link, typically found in the footer of our Website. This mechanism allows you to withdraw your consent for Performance, Functionality, and Targeting/Advertising cookies.
2. Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can modify your browser to block or delete cookies entirely. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our site, and our product’s authentication features will fail.

Users in jurisdictions outside of the EU/UK can also change their preferences using the “Cookie Settings” link.

Duration of Cookies

Different cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose and the provider that sets them. 

1. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are typically used for essential functions or security.
2. Persistent cookies remain for a longer period and are removed only when they reach their programmed expiry date or when you delete them manually through your browser settings.

The retention period for each cookie varies because Sayari utilizes both first-party and third-party technologies, including tools for analytics, marketing, and optimization. The third-party providers themselves determine the duration for which their set cookies are retained.
