The Prototype Cookies Policy (the “Policy”).

It describes the information that we collect by automated means through the use of automated information gathering tools, such as cookies and web beacons, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information or text that are issued to your computer when you visit a website and are used to store or track information about your use of the site. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to facilitate and help to make the interaction between users and websites, mobile apps and online platforms faster and easier, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website itself (in this case, Prototype) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by 3rd party websites are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Our use of cookies

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track users who signed up through our referral program or other campaigns managed by Prototype.

Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website and/or mobile app and/or platform. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our Websites and/or App and/or platform. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Our Websites do not use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or LSO).

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Websites though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit: Your AdChoices or Your Online Choices.
