What is Our Cookie Policy?
Cookies are small files that a web server sends to Your computer or device when You visit a web application that uses cookies to keep track of Your activity on that site. Cookies also exist within applications when a browser is needed to view certain content or display certain content within the application. Cookies hold a small amount of data specific to a web application, which can later be used to help remember information You enter into the application (like Your email or username), preferences selected, and movement within the application. If You return to a previously visited web application (and Your browser has cookies enabled), the web browser sends the small file to the web server, which tells it what activity You engaged in the last time You used the web application, and the server can use the cookie to do things like expedite logging in and retrieving user data and keeping Your browser session secure.
We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve You with more tailored information, to facilitate efficient and secure access to the Services, and to track the performance of Our marketing efforts. We may also collect information using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs or other similar technologies. These may be used in connection with some web site pages and HTML formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of users and email recipients, and compile statistics about usage and response rates.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Some web browsers may transmit do not track (“DNT”) signals to websites with which the user communicates. To date, there is no industry standard for DNT and users cannot know how a given company responds to a DNT signal they receive from browsers. Waverider is committed to remaining apprised of DNT standards. However, Waverider does not support DNT browser settings and does not currently participate in any DNT frameworks that would allow Waverider to respond to signals or other mechanisms regarding the collection of Your Personal Data.
How Can You Opt-Out of Cookies?
You must enable Essential Cookies to use the Services. Essential Cookies are automatically placed on Your personal devices to facilitate the functionality of the Platform and the Services. You can usually choose to set Your browser to remove and reject non-essential cookies. If You enable a do not track signal or otherwise configure Your browser to prevent Us from collecting cookies, You may be unable to take advantage of some of the Services.
What Happens to Personal Data Submitted by Minors?
Waverider does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. Additionally, Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We request that these individuals not provide Personal Data to Us. If We learn that Personal Data from Users less than 18 years of age have been collected, We will deactivate the User Account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from Our records.
