Last Updated: March 5, 2025

At Own. App, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This cookie policy (this “Cookie Policy”) is designed to inform you about our use of cookies, local storage objects and similar technologies. This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy, which also includes additional details about our collection and use of information. Capitalized terms used in this Cookie Policy but not defined have the same meaning as in our Privacy Policy. 

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies, are small data files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website or application. When you return to the website, or another website that recognizes that cookie, the cookie is sent to that site to enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, helping you navigate more efficiently or keeping you logged in. 

The Website may use similar technologies to cookies, including, without limitation, flash cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, server logs, third-party cookies, plug-ins, and social media connectors to understand how you are using our Website and provide adverts tailored to you and your interests. These technologies often take the form of a small, transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email.  They work with cookies and capture data like your IP address, when you viewed the page or email, what device you were using, and location information. Where we use web beacons in the emails we send to you, these are used to enable us to assess the level of engagement our emails receive by measuring information such as the delivery rates, open rates and click through rates which our emails achieve.

What types of cookies does Own. App use?

A cookie is a small text file that stores Internet settings. Almost every website uses cookie technology. The cookie is downloaded by your Internet browser the first time you visit a website. The next time you visit this Website from the same device, the cookie and the information in it are either sent back to the originating website (first-party cookies) or to another website to which it belongs (third-party cookies). By that, the website can detect that it has already been opened using this browser, and in some cases it will then vary the content it shows. 

Some cookies are extremely useful because they can improve your user experience when you return to a website you have already visited. This assumes that you are using the same device and the same browser as before; if so, cookies will remember your preferences, will know how you use the website, and will adapt the content you are shown so that it is more relevant to your personal interests and needs.

Based on what function cookies have and the purpose for which cookies are used, there are different categories of cookies we may use on the Website: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and web beacons. In addition to the cookie types mentioned above, we also use flash cookies, pixel tags, server logs, third-party cookies, and plug-ins.

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are essential to fulfil an action requested by you, such as identifying you as being logged in. If you prevent these cookies by adjusting your browser settings we cannot guarantee how our Website will perform during your visit. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Your consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies. 

Performance cookies. These are cookies used to improve our Website, for example, for analytics that let us see how a website is being used and where to make improvements, including the number of visitors, where visitors have come from to the website and the pages visited. These cookies do not save information that would allow the user to be identified. The collected information is aggregated, and therefore anonymous. These cookies are used exclusively to improve the performance of the website, and with it the user experience.

Functionality cookies. These cookies enable a website to save information which has already been entered (such as user names, languages choices, and your location), so that it can offer you improved and more personalized functions. Functional cookies are also used to enable features you request such as playing videos. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other websites.

Web Beacons. Web beacons are small, transparent graphic images that are delivered through a web browser or HTML e-mail.  Web beacons may include GIF or PNG images, pixels, javascript, or other tags, which are used to track visitor activity on a particular website, or the viewing of a particular e-mail. We may also use other tracking mechanisms such as web beacons to collect marketing statistics.
