What Are Cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies managed directly by Facthory are called “first-party cookies”, whereas cookies set by third parties are called “third-party cookies”, as further explained below.
Why Do We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies and similar technologies perform a range of functions, including:
- Ensuring core functionality: Enabling you to navigate between pages efficiently and use essential features of the website.
- Remembering your preferences: For example, your language settings or choices you have made so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
- Improving user experience: Helping us understand how visitors use our website so that we can optimize content and layout.
- Supporting analytics: Allowing us to analyze usage of our websites and online content (analytics cookies), such as which pages are visited and how users interact with our services.
- Enabling social media features: Facilitating interaction with social media platforms (e.g. links to social media sites, “like” buttons, sharing tools, and similar features).
- Supporting targeted advertising: Helping ensure that the advertising you see online is more relevant to you and your interests, where legally permissible.
Does Facthory Use Cookies for Marketing and Analytics?
Yes. Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, we may use information collected through cookies and similar technologies to:
- Identify user behavior on our websites and services.
- Personalize and serve content, recommendations, and offers based on your profile or inferred interests.
- Perform analytics and measure the performance of our websites and marketing campaigns.
- Carry out the other purposes described in this policy and our general privacy notices, to the extent legally permissible in the relevant jurisdiction.
In certain cases, we may be able to associate cookie-derived information (including information from cookies placed via our advertisements on third-party sites) with an identifiable individual. For example:
- If we send you a targeted email that includes web beacons, cookies, or similar technologies, we can determine whether you open, read, or delete the message.
- When you click a link in a marketing email you receive from Facthory, we may use a cookie to log which pages you view and which content you download from our websites, even if you are not registered or signed in to our site.
- Combining and analyzing personal data– As described above, we may combine data from publicly available sources with data from our different email, website, and in-person interactions with you. This can include information collected across our different websites (such as careers and corporate sites) and information collected when you sign up or log in to our sites, or when you connect to our sites using your social media credentials (such as LinkedIn). We combine this data to better understand your experience with Facthory and to perform the other activities described throughout our privacy and cookie notices, always in accordance with applicable law.
Do You Use Any Cookies from Third-Party Companies?
Yes. Some cookies, web beacons, and other tracking and storage technologies that we use originate from third-party companies (“third-party cookies”). These include, for example, providers such as Facebook, Microsoft Clarity, Twitter/X, Instagram, and LinkedIn Analytics, which provide us with web analytics and intelligence about our websites and may also provide measurement services and support targeted advertising.
These third parties use programming code to collect information about your interaction with our websites, such as:
- The pages you visit.
- The links you click.
- The time you spend on our websites.
- How you navigate between pages.
This code is only active while you are on a Facthory website.
For more information about how these companies collect and use information on our behalf, please refer to their respective privacy policies:
- Facebook: Facebook Data Policy
- Microsoft: Microsoft Privacy Statement
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn Privacy Policy
- Twitter/X: Twitter Privacy Policy
- Instagram: Instagram Data Policy
We also partner specifically with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay, in order to improve and market our products and services. Website usage data is captured using first- and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to assess the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud and security purposes, and advertising. For more details on how Microsoft collects and uses your data, please visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Does Facthory Use Any Tracking Technologies Similar to Cookies?
Yes. In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (including conversion pixels) and other similar technologies for the purposes described above. We may include these technologies on our websites, in marketing email messages, or in our newsletters to determine whether messages have been opened and whether links have been clicked.
Web beacons themselves do not place information on your device, but they may operate in conjunction with cookies to monitor website activity. The information described in this policy with respect to cookies also applies to web beacons and similar technologies.
Conversion pixels are small pieces of code placed on specific web pages that are triggered when someone visits that page, resulting in an increase in a conversion count. This helps us measure the effectiveness of certain campaigns and user journeys.
