This Cookie Policy explains how InternetTwist (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on internettwist.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle your personal information more broadly.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site’s owners. Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage perform comparable functions, and where we refer to “cookies” in this policy we include these technologies too.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep the Site secure and functioning, to remember your preferences, to understand how the Site is used so we can improve it, and to support the Site financially through advertising. Some cookies are strictly necessary, while others are optional and used only where permitted.
Types of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Enable core functions such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas. The Site cannot work properly without them, and they do not require consent. | Session to 1 year |
| Analytics / Performance | Help us understand how visitors use the Site, which pages are popular, and where we can improve, usually through aggregated, anonymized data. | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising | Used by us and our partners to deliver and measure advertising, including interest-based ads, and to limit how often you see the same ad. | Up to 1 year |
| Preference / Functional | Remember choices you make, such as your region or display settings, to give you a more personalized experience. | Session to 1 year |
Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
InternetTwist uses advertising to support its work, including services provided by Google such as Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on the Site. Google’s use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to InternetTwist and other sites on the internet. These advertising cookies may collect information such as your approximate location, the pages you view, and your interactions with ads, in order to make advertising more relevant and to measure its performance.
You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. To learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising, see Google’s advertising technologies page. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, and Your Online Choices in Europe.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to Google, we may use other reputable third-party services for analytics, embedded media such as videos, and social sharing. These providers may set their own cookies, which are controlled by them and governed by their own policies. We do not have access to or control over cookies set by third parties, so we encourage you to review their privacy and cookie policies for details on how they use them.
How to Control Cookies in Your Browser
You are in control of the cookies stored on your device. Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how the Site and other websites function. Here is where to find cookie controls in major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. See Chrome’s cookie help page.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. See Firefox support.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. See Safari support.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions. See Edge support.
On mobile devices, you can usually manage cookies and advertising identifiers through your browser or device privacy settings.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies set directly by InternetTwist are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain, such as an advertising network, an analytics provider, or an embedded video, are called third-party cookies. Both types can be either session cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you remove them. The Typical Duration column in the table above gives a general sense of how long our cookies last, though exact lifespans vary by provider.
Web Beacons and Pixels
In addition to cookies, some pages and any emails we send may contain small electronic files known as web beacons, clear GIFs, or pixel tags. These allow us and our partners to count visitors, understand which content is engaging, and measure the performance of advertising and email campaigns. Web beacons are typically used alongside cookies, so disabling cookies will usually reduce their effectiveness as well.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites you visit. Because there is currently no agreed industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, InternetTwist does not change its behavior in response to them. You can, however, control tracking using the browser settings and advertising opt-out tools described above, which give you practical control over analytics and advertising cookies.
Your Consent
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using your browser controls or any cookie preference tools we provide on the Site. Essential cookies do not require consent because the Site cannot function without them.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
