Introduction
Empire Media Network Ltd. and its affiliated companies (“we”, “us” or “our“) welcome you to our website. When you visit or access our website or when you interact or engage with our representatives (“Services”), we will use (and authorize third parties to use) web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, tags and other technologies (“Tracking Technologies“). This is explained in this Cookies Policy which is a part of our Privacy Policy. This Cookies Policy applies to fxempire.com and all its subdomains.
Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you and your online behavior in order to enhance your navigation on our Services, improve our Services performance and customize your experience on it. We also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of our Services, perform analytics and to administer services to our users, customers, and partners.
What are cookies?
Cookies are a commonly used tracking technology, comprised of small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make our Services more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently. Cookies remember your preferences and make the interaction between you and the Services smoother and more efficient.
Our Services may use: (a) session cookies – which are temporary and expire once you close your web browser; and (b) persistent cookies – which stay on your computer or mobile device for some time after the session is ended.
Our Services use two broad categories of cookies: (a) first party cookies, served directly by us, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Services; and (b) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Services, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social media features.
Types of Tracking Technologies
There are five main types of Tracking Technologies:
- Strictly necessary Tracking TechnologiesThese Tracking Technologies are necessary for the provision of the Services and to enable you to log in, navigate around and use the features of our Services, or to provide a service requested by you (such as your username). Therefore, these Tracking Technologies are always enabled and we do not need to obtain your consent in order to use them. These Tracking Technologies can also be used for security and integrity reasons – for example, to detect violation of our policies and for support or security features.
- Functional Tracking TechnologiesThese Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged in) and support other features of our Services.
- Performance Tracking TechnologiesThese Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit to our Services), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).
- Marketing and Targeting Tracking TechnologiesThese Tracking Technologies are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests, as well as to perform email marketing campaigns. They can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by our advertisers (for example advertising networks) and provide them insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites or use their app.
- Social media Tracking TechnologiesThese Tracking Technologies include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” or “Share” buttons or third-party log-in services. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the third party providing these features.
