Peerspace Cookie Notice

Last Updated: September 17, 2024

Peerspace uses cookies, web beacons, and other technologies (collectively “Cookies”) when you use the Peerspace websites, mobile sites or mobile apps (collectively the "Services"). This Notice explains what Cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage their use.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are automatically downloaded to your computer or device when you visit an online service. Cookies send data back to the originating online service on each subsequent visit, or disclose data to other websites that recognize that cookie. 

Cookies are useful because they allow online services to recognize a user's device over time. They can be used for lots of different activities, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, personalizing your online experience, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. 

How do we use Cookies?

We use Cookies for a variety of purposes -- to remember your preferences, provide product and site functionality, analyze use of the Services, enhance and personalize your experience, and provide online advertising that is more tailored to your interests.

Types of Cookies we use

There are four different types of Cookies we (and our third-party vendors and partners) use on our Online Services: 

  • Strictly Necessary/Essential Cookies. These are Cookies that are required for the operation of our Services (e.g., to enable you to log-in to secure areas of our Services or use a shopping cart). Without these Cookies, many features of the Services cannot be provided.  We want you to understand these essential Cookies, and why we use them, but we don't need to get your consent to use them on our Services as we use these Cookies only to provide you with services that you have requested. You cannot opt out of these Cookies.

  • Functionality Cookies. These Cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make, such as: remembering your username, preferences and settings; remembering if you've filled in a survey or taken part in a poll or contest or otherwise reacted to something on or through the Services, so you're not asked to do it again; remembering if you've used any of our Services before; restricting the number of times you are shown a particular advertisement; and remembering your location. The aim of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience so that you don't have to reset your preferences each time you use our Services. As described below, you may disable these Cookies; but if you do so, then various functions of our Services may be unavailable to you or may not work the way you want them to.

  • Analytic/Performance Cookies. These Cookies collect information about how visitors use and interact with our Services, for instance which pages they go to most often. These Cookies help us improve the way our Services work, understand our user base, and provide a better, more personalized user experience.

  • Targeting Cookies. These Cookies record your visit to our online Services, the pages you have visited, and the links you have clicked. They gather information about your browsing habits and remember that you have visited our Services. We (and third-party advertising platforms or networks) may use this information to make our websites, content, and advertisements displayed on our Services and other websites more relevant to your interests (this is sometimes called "behavioral" or "targeted" advertising). These types of Cookies are also used to limit the number of times you see an online advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

How long do Cookies stay on my device?

Some Cookies operate from the time you visit our Services to the end of that particular web-browsing session. These Cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your internet browser. These Cookies are called "session" Cookies.  Other Cookies are designed to stay on your device between browsing sessions -- they do not expire when you close your browser. These Cookies are called "persistent" Cookies. The length of time a persistent cookie stays on your device varies from cookie to cookie.

How to control which Cookies are set

There are a number of ways you can manage what Cookies are set on your devices. As explained above, if you block or disable certain Cookies, the Services may not be accessible to you and/or the performance, features, or Services may not function in their intended way.
