C. USE OF COOKIES AND WEBE BEACONS (COOKIE POLICY)

This Cookie Policy sets out how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as ‘clear gifs’ – small single pixel image files that can be used to recognize a User’s navigation through a website) (collectively “Cookies”) when you access and use our Websites. By using our Websites, you consent to us using Cookies as described herein.

What Are Cookies?

When you visit any website, it may collect, store, or retrieve information on your browser for record keeping purposes and to make it easier for you to navigate the Website, mostly in the form of cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are sent by our Websites to the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox) on the computer or device you used to access our Websites, and that are then stored on that computer or device. Cookies collect information from that computer or device about your browsing habits that generally allow our Website to recognize the same computer or device the next time you use it to visit our Website. While the information collected usually does not directly identify you, it might be about you, your preferences, or your device and is mostly used to make the website you are on work as you expect it to. You can find more information about Cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

How Do We Use Cookies?

We use Cookies to help us better understand how our Website is being used, and provide a more user-friendly experience. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Services, pages visited, language preferences, and other traffic data. We and our third-party service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience. For example, using knowledge of your previous Website visits, we can tailor content to match your particular interests when you revisit our Website. Please note that Cookies are not used by us in a manner that identifies or reveals financial details such as credit card information. We also gather statistical information about use of the Services in order to continually improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used and assist us with resolving questions regarding them. Cookies further allow us to select which of our programs, initiatives, offerings, and services are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are on the Services. We may also use Cookies or other technologies in online advertising to track responses to our ads.

What Cookie Types Do We Use?

MUVZ uses both “session ID Cookies” and “persistent Cookies.” Persistent Cookies stay on your computer from one session to the next and enable MUVZ to recognize you when you return to the Website.

The following list describes the types of Cookies we may use by their function, and what we may use them for:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies

    These Cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting a privacy preference, logging in, or filling in a form. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Cookies, but then some parts of the Website will not work. These Cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

  • Performance Cookies

    These Cookies allow us to collect User IP addresses and basic log file information (such as browser type and language, number of clicks, domain names of websites visited, pages viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of visits and page views) to help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Without these Cookies, we would not know when you have visited our site. Also, our ability to monitor site performance would be impacted.

  • Functional Cookies

    These Cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. For example, they allow our Website to remember information from your previous visit, such as details you submitted before or your previously stated preferences. These Cookies may also be used to provide services you request such as additional information about products, etc. Such a Cookie may also be used to set the background image across the Website. This will remember which image was displayed to you the last time you visited our Website and will display the next image (in a set order) on your next visit. These Cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Without these Cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

  • Targeting Cookies

    These Cookies come from third-parties through our site by our advertising and other partners. Third-party cookies are similar to MUVZ’s own cookies, but they come from servers controlled by these third-parties and may be used by them to collect information about your use of our Websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. MUVZ does not ordinarily use or otherwise have access to the information contained in these third-party cookies.

  • Social Media Cookies

    These Cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. Without these Cookies, you would not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

You may choose not to receive Cookies, whether coming directly from MUVZ or from third-parties, by following instructions in your web browser’s “help” file, but this may make certain features of our Websites inaccessible to you.

5. OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
