Cookie Policy

Livingsights continually strives to strengthen the relationship we share with you and provide content that is useful to you. To do that, we use cookies on our Site. Cookies help us publishers improve your browsing experience. Having said that, stay assured that your data is well protected, secured, and in safe hands.

Please read the following carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding the use of cookies on the Livingsights Site. By using or accessing our Site, you agree to this Cookie Policy. This Policy may change from time to time and your continued use of the Site is deemed to be acceptance of such changes. 

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your browser when you visit a Site. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit our Site, your browser may receive cookies from several sources. This includes third parties that we have hired to provide services on our behalf, such as Site analytics or ad targeting.

Cookies & Other Tracking Mechanisms

At Livingsights, we use Cookies and other tracking mechanisms to ensure visitors to our Site have the best possible experience and to provide targeted advertising. We may use cookies, now or in the future, to support the functionality or track usage of our Services. This provides a better experience when you use our Services and allows us to improve our Services.

Browser Cookies

A browser cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. That cookie then communicates with servers, ours, or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us and allows recognition of your device. You may use the tools available on your computer or other devices to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you refuse or disable all browser cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Websites or use certain features or functionality of our Services.

Flash Cookies

Certain features of our Services may use local stored objects called flash cookies to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Websites. We also include cookies in our third-party hosted video players to count the number of unique viewers who see a customer’s video press release and to provide aggregate reporting. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse Flash cookies, please note that some parts of our Services may be inaccessible or may not function properly.

Web beacons

Our Services may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear GIFs, pixel tags, tracking pixels, and single-pixel GIFs) that permit us to, for example, count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other website-related statistics. Web beacons in email marketing campaigns, press releases, or other types of communications or content allow us to track your responses and your interests in our content, offerings, and web pages. We may use web beacons and/or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you interact with our Services, emails, press releases, or other types of communications or content, including information about your browsing and purchasing behavior.

Analytics services

We or our affiliates also use web analytics services, including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Adobe Analytics. Such web analytics services use cookies and similar technologies to analyze how users use the domains. The information generated about domain usage (including your shortened IP address) is transmitted to the web analytics services. This information is used to evaluate visitors’ use of the domain, compile statistical reports on domain activity, and provide other services related to the Site and Internet use. Such services may also collect information about Domain visitors’ use of other websites. For more information about Google Analytics, or to opt-out of Google Analytics, please go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Do Not Track Disclosure

Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” feature, which is intended to be a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites you visit. Our Services do not currently change the way they operate based on the detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in the Cookies & Other Tracking Mechanisms section above (e.g., by disabling cookies.)

Your Choices

  • Opting out of marketing communications. You may receive certain promotional or informational communications from us. Where required by law, promotional communications will be sent only with your consent. You can opt-out of promotional emails at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of the emails. Please note that certain emails may be necessary for the operation of our Services. You may, however, continue to receive these emails relating to your account or our Services, if appropriate, even if you unsubscribe from our optional communications.
  • Opting out of behavioral advertising. You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page at aboutads.info/choices for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page at www.networkadvertising.org/choices for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by NAI members. Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org. Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Services or any third-party services. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). If your browser is configured to reject cookies when you opt-out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt-out may not be effective. Please note that if you use multiple devices you will have to opt-out on each individual device. If you reside in the EU you may go to www.youronlinechoices.com for information about opting out of interest-based advertising.
  • Cloaking your identity. Journalists and others who use ProfNet Experts may choose not to disclose their identity when in direct communication with experts and company information officers by following the directions on that website to “cloak” their identity.

What Cookies Do We Use?

At Livingsights, we use different types of cookies to run the Site. Some or all of the cookies identified below may be stored in your browser. Below is a list of each category of cookies we use and why we use each cookie. 

Compulsory

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These Cookies are classified as cookies that must be present for the website to provide the basic functions of the website.  Without these cookies, certain features could not function. 

They are typically essential first-party session cookies, but not all first-party cookies are strictly necessary cookies. They allow for a user to navigate back and forth between pages without losing their previous actions from the same session.  Strictly necessary cookies are the only cookies that all cookie laws allow to be exempt from requiring user consent. No information about your browsing habits is gathered by these cookies. They are primarily used when saving your settings and preferences when you log in or log out of your account. 

We may use Strictly Necessary cookies to identify you as being logged into Livingsights Site, provide access to protected sections of the Site, and remember previously entered text so it is not lost if the page refreshes. 

Optional

Advertising Cookies

These Cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements to users both on and off the Service. We analyze what pages you visit on these sites, what products or services you view, and whether you view or click on ads that are shown to you. We use this information to send you interest-based ads and may also share this information with third parties. 

These cookies may be controlled by our advertising partners to show you ads that are more relevant to your interest. They usually pick information like your browsing history, browser information, device-in-use, and other indirect data. They do not store any personal information whatsoever. You may also choose whether or not to allow these cookies.

You can report ads if you don’t find it genuine. However, offer a valid reason for the same. Our authorities have all the right to approve or disapprove any ad without prior notice and reason. 

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to improve our services by collecting information about your use of the Service. We use these cookies to help improve how the website works. For example, Analytics Cookies show us statistics, which are the most frequently visited pages on the Service, help us record any difficulties you have with the Service, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not. We can’t identify you personally through the use of these cookies, but third parties who provide these cookies may be able to.

Performance Cookies

These cookies are used site-wide to observe how you choose to use our website and enable us to improve your experience over time. They are specifically designed to gather data on how you use our website. We may have partnered with other third parties to create better results. 

Targeting Cookies

These cookies help us make sure that the ads you see on our Site are relevant to you and your interests. Targeting cookies may also be placed on your device by our third-party service providers that remember you have visited the Site. This is to provide you with relevant information about announcements, ads, and new or promotional offers. We may use Targeting cookies to collect information about browser habits to target advertising and Site content. We may also use cookies to provide links to social networking sites. 

Does This Policy Change?

We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. Please take a look at the date at the top of this page to see when this Cookie Policy was last updated. Any changes in this Cookie Policy will become effective when we make the revised Cookie Policy available on the Service.
