Offhoo uses cookies and similar technologies on its website and in the Offhoo app. This page explains what these technologies are, why they are used, and what your options are regarding them.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
When you visit our website or use the Offhoo app, information may be stored on or accessed from your device using cookies or similar tracking technologies. These are small files or technical tools that allow a website or app to recognize your device and retain certain information over time.
On websites, cookies are typically text files stored by the browser. They contain a unique identifier assigned to your device. This identifier allows the browser to be recognized after a visit, in subsequent or future visits.
Similar technologies, such as Software Development Kits (SDKs), device identifiers, pixels, and local storage, are also used in apps. They function analogously, allowing the app to store and/or retrieve information when you reopen the app or switch screens.
Cookies and similar technologies do not contain software and cannot access files stored on your device. They only store or read small amounts of information so that our digital services can recognize your device over time.
2. What types of cookies and similar technologies exist?
Cookies and similar technologies can be classified according to who places them and their purpose.
-
By owner:
-
First-party cookies: These are placed directly by Offhoo. They are generally used to support basic functions of our website or app, or to remember your selections.
-
Third-party cookies: These are placed by other organizations with whom we collaborate, such as analytics providers or advertising partners. They can recognize your device when you visit other websites or apps that use the same technologies.
-
-
By purpose:
-
Strictly necessary (technical): These technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the website or app. They enable secure login, page navigation, fraud prevention, and remembering your preferences. As they are vital for the service, they do not require consent and cannot be disabled from our settings.
-
Preferences: These technologies remember information that affects the appearance or behavior of the website or app for the user. For example, they may remember your region, preferred language, or if you have dismissed a pop-up or survey. This prevents you from having to enter the same information every time you visit us and allows content to be presented in the most appropriate way for your needs.
-
Analytics: These technologies help us understand how visitors use our website and app so we can improve them. For example, they help us count the number of visits, see which pages are used most or least, and determine if users find what they are looking for. They also help us check if features are working correctly, if users encounter errors, and resolve issues to improve speed, usability, and design. The information we obtain is aggregated to improve overall performance and user experience.
-
Marketing and advertising: These technologies help us show you more relevant offers, communications, and advertisements. They support our advertising campaigns by helping us and our partners know which ads or content you have seen, prevent you from being shown the same ad repeatedly, measure the effectiveness of ads or your interest in them, and personalize the content or ads you see based on your potential interests.
-
3. What data do we process?
-
Device and browser information (e.g., device type, operating system, screen resolution, browser type, and connection data).
-
Network information and connection data (e.g., IP address and internet service provider).
-
Technical identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, app instance ID, and SDK identifiers).
-
Information about how you interact with our website or app (e.g., pages or screens visited, number of clicks, search queries, navigation paths, time spent, and feature usage).
-
Information about the content you view (e.g., products or categories consulted, items added to lists, and search behavior).
Only technologies that go beyond what is strictly necessary collect and use information for analytics, advertising, or personalization purposes with your prior consent.
4. With whom do we share your data?
If you allow the use of non-strictly necessary technologies, information about your device and usage may be shared with third parties who support these services. This includes analytics partners who help us measure and understand website and app usage, as well as advertising and marketing partners who help us display ads, measure their effectiveness, and prevent you from seeing the same information repeatedly.
These partners may combine the information they receive with information they have already obtained from other websites or apps. We will only share data with these partners with your express consent through our settings.
