COOKIES POLICY

GetValue.co uses cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, mobile device IDs, and similar files or technologies to collect and store the information we automatically collect about your computer, device, and use of GetValue.co (together with all of its sub-domains and any mobile versions or related applications, the “Website”) to improve your experience and to recommend content that may be of interest to you when using our site. You can find out more below about what cookies are, the cookies we use and how to switch off/turn off/disable and delete cookies if you wish to so. With GetValue.co you can indicate your acceptance of our use of cookies in accordance with this policy by following the ‘opt-out’ links provided in this cookie policy below or by changing your browser settings so that cookies from the Website cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. However, please note that if you do not follow the ‘opt-out’ links provided in this cookie policy below, and you decide to continue browsing the site, you will be deemed to have accepted our use of cookies (and what we use them for) in accordance with this policy.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a certain webpage. Cookies are then sent back to the originating webpage on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognises that cookie. Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies’, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the Website to recognise your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again. Cookies do lots of different jobs and they are widely used in order to make the Website work, or to work more efficiently by letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience, as well as to provide information to the owners of the Website. Therefore Cookies enables us to gather keywords from URLs of web-pages from which you accessed our site and operate our site more effectively in such a way it reflects your personal preferences, based on your previous browsing on GetValue.co. For example: Cookies may tell us whether you have visited the Website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help us to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.  More importantly, cookies can also allow us to do various other things, as explained below in these Cookies policy.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

  • First party cookies, these are cookies which are served directly by GetValue.co to your computer or mobile device.
  • Third Party Cookies, these are cookies that through you accessing other sites (including, for example; social networks, advertising networks, providers of external services like web traffic analysis services and content recommendation engines) than GetValue.co using any third party links available on GetValue.co, are sent to your computer or mobile devices and sent back to those third party sites. When third part cookies are sent to your mobile device and sent back to the third party sites, GetValue.co may have no control of these third party cookies. Third party cookies are more likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies which are served by a third party on our behalf.

What types of cookies do we use?

When you visit GetValue.co, the following types of cookies may be downloaded to your device. The types of cookies used by us and our partners in connection with the Website can be classified into one of five categories, namely ‘essential Website cookies’, ‘functionality cookies’, ‘analytics and performance cookies’, ‘advertising cookies’, and ‘ social media cookies’. We’ve set out some further information about each category, and the purposes of the cookies we and third parties set in the following table:

Type of cookie

What it does

Cookies necessary for essential Website purposes

These cookies are essential to provide you with the Website and any services available through this Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible.

Functionality Cookies

These are cookies that are required for the administration and operation of our site as they are necessary for our site to function properly. We may use functional cookies that allow us to remember choices you have made in relation to the site so as to provide a more personalised experience and enhanced user experience by delivering content specific to your interests. This is to say functionality cookies record information about choices you’ve made and allow us to tailor the Website to you. This also enables you to move around the site and use its features.

These cookies may also mean that when you continue to use or come back to the Website, we can provide you with our services as you have asked for them to be provided. For example, these cookies allow us to:

Save your location preference if you have set your location on your homepage, if applicable, in order to receive a local weather forecast;

Remember settings you have applied, such as layout, text size, preferences, and colors;

Show you when you are logged in; and

Store accessibility options.

Analytical and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics service providers for website traffic analysis and reporting. Analytics service providers generate statistical and other information about the use of the site by using cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how often visitors return to the site, how long they stay and how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. The information generated relating to the site may be used to create reports about the use of the site and the analytics service provider will also store this information.

We use performance/analytics cookies to analyze how the Website is accessed, used, or is performing in order to provide you with a better user experience and to maintain, operate and continually improve the Website. For example, these cookies allow us to:

Better understand our Website visitors so that we can improve how we present our content;

Test different design ideas for particular pages, such as our homepage;

Collect information about Website visitors such as where they are located and what browsers they are using;

Determine the number of unique users of the Website;

Improve the Website by measuring any errors that occur; and

Conduct research and diagnostics to improve product offerings.

Advertising, tracking and Targeting Cookies

As you use our Website, you will notice that it features advertising. We allow third party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Website. These cookies enable such companies to track your activity across various sites where they display ads and record your activities so they can show ads that they consider relevant to you as you browse the Internet. These cookies are anonymous — they store information about the content you are browsing, but not about who you are.

These cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you’ve seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it has been since you’ve last seen it. This information is used for frequency capping purposes, to help tailor the ads you see, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. Therefore; We may use these cookies on our site to help us to place relevant GetValue.co advertising on others’ sites when you visit such sites. We do this because we value your visit to our site and hope that you will be interested in other GetValue.co offerings when you visit other sites

These cookies also record your visit to our site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed to other sites. We will use this information to try and make our site and other sites that you visit more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with others, such as other Get Value, Inc companies and carefully selected third parties. For this purpose, We work with technology partners to support our website and to provide you with relevant information about the products and services of other Get Value, Inc companies on our site and on affiliated sites or sites within the advertising networks we work with. If you are not happy with this, please see the section of this policy titled “How do I turn cookies off below”.

Social Media Cookies

On some pages of our Website, third parties that provide applications through our Website may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you. For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button on our Website (e.g., Twitter or Facebook), the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.

Because GetValue.co has its presence on various social networks, we try and make it as easy as possible to share content and to see what content is popular on those networks. We add buttons to allow people to easily share to those networks. We also use Facebook plugins to power the commenting functionality on our site. When we include these social ‘plugins’, it gives those sites the flexibility to use cookies. While they can’t read any cookies we set from GetValue.co, and we can’t read any cookies they set, but it lets them do the same kind of traffic measuring that we do on the rest of GetValue.co, and it also lets them know whether you’re logged in or not. For example, if you’re logged in to Facebook, read a post by Gaston Ngailo and want to make a comment, you can do that straight away without having to log in again – we never know whether you’re logged in or not, as you communicate directly with Facebook, through their plugins on our site. Some pages of our Website may also contain embedded content, such as video content from YouTube or Vimeo, and these sites may set their own cookies.

Finally you must understand that, because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by us.
