This Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy (“Policy”) outlines the methods by which How Fast Is My Connection (“we,” “us,” or “our”) employs cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies on our websites, applications, advertisements, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By utilizing our Services, you consent to the use of these technologies as described herein.
2. Definition of Cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your device by a website. Your web browser or device stores these files and sends them back to the site on subsequent visits, allowing the site to recognize your device and retain certain information about your preferences or past interactions.
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are essential for a smooth, single-session user experience.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your settings and preferences over multiple sessions, providing a more personalized experience.
3. Management of Cookie Preferences
You have the right to manage your cookie preferences. Your web browser’s settings provide controls to accept, decline, or delete cookies. For guidance on managing cookies in common browsers, you may consult your browser’s help documentation. Please be advised that disabling cookies may impair the functionality of the Services and prevent certain features from operating correctly.
4. Categories and Purpose of Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies for the purposes specified:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are indispensable for the operation of the Services. They enable core functionalities, such as navigation and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly.
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Services to remember your preferences, such as your language or region, and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to parts of the site that you can customize.
Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about your use of the Services, such as which pages you visit and any errors you encounter. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, helping us to analyze and improve the performance and design of the Services.
Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing habits across different websites and may be used by our third-party advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and display targeted ads.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Certain functionalities of the Services may be provided by third parties, such as advertisers, content providers, or social media platforms. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device to facilitate their services. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third-party’s own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies to understand their data collection practices.
6. Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs or web beacons) and local storage (e.g., HTML5). These technologies serve purposes similar to cookies, such as tracking user movements, gathering demographic information, and serving interest-based advertisements.
7. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature. As there is currently no universally accepted industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time. Should a standard be established, we will review our policy and may update it accordingly.
8. Policy Revisions
We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time. Any revisions will be effective immediately upon the posting of the updated Policy. Your continued use of the Services following such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
