This Cookies Policy explains how Ritbiz and our partners use cookies and similar technologies. It applies to Ritbiz apps, websites, software and related services (together, the “Platform”). It also covers your choices to control them. Unless otherwise stated in this Cookies Policy, our Privacy Policy applies to the data we collect through cookies and similar technologies. How do cookies work? Cookies are small text files that let websites and apps identify your browser or device. Cookies and similar technologies let websites and apps store or access info on your device. They turn on certain features and distinguish you from other visitors. Most website and app providers use these technologies for various purposes. These purposes include efficient page navigation, web security and usage tracking. These technologies also remember user preferences and customise the user experience, especially in relation to ads. Like many websites and apps, Ritbiz uses cookies and similar technologies, such as software development kits (“SDKs”), pixels, APIs, mobile ad IDs, tags and local storage. We call them all “cookies” in this Cookies Policy. Most of the cookies on our platform are set on browsers or devices and used directly by us. These are referred to as “first-party” cookies. Other businesses (“Partners”) also set and use cookies on the Platform. They help us keep it safe and secure and promote our services on other apps and websites. These cookies also enable us, our advertisers and measurement partners to measure ad campaign effectiveness and show you personalised ads. In this Cookies Policy, we refer to cookies set by Partners on the Platform as “third-party cookies”. You can find more information about the partners that use cookies on the platform and links to their own privacy policies here. Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “session cookies.” They exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically shortly after you close your browser. Other cookies are “persistent cookies.” They stay after you close your browser or app. Persistent cookies expire automatically after a set time, like a few days or weeks. When you return to the Platform, a third-party site or other sites that use the same cookies, persistent cookies on your device can be recognised. What are cookies used for? Cookies enable us to provide and secure, as well as analyse and customise, the Platform. This includes providing a safer, personalised experience to users of the platform. For example, we will verify logged-in users to give them an appropriate experience. Cookies let us, our advertisers and measurement partners measure ad campaign effectiveness. They also allow us to show you ads based on your browsing and profile. We have provided more information below about the purpose of cookies. Essential and optional cookies Some cookies are essential to provide you with the platform and features you have requested. You cannot decline or turn them off afterwards. Other optional, non-essential cookies will be used based on your usage and the sites you visit. We outline a summary of the types of cookies we use in Section 2.2 below. Types of cookies The Platform uses cookies for the following purposes: Functionality and customisation Some cookies help the platform work better. They also let us customise the platform to your preferences. For example, we can display it in your preferred language. We also use cookies to verify your account when logged in. This helps us provide you with an appropriate experience on the Platform and its features. Below, we provide examples of the cookies we use for functionality and customisation. Some cookies allow for the proper functioning of the platform and our services. These cookies remember your login details and status while you browse the Platform, for example, “sid_tt” cookies (retained for 4 months). Some cookies record your preferred language, like “default_lang” cookies (retained for 1 year). Other cookies, like “locale” cookies (retained for 1 year), record the country from which you visit the platform. Other cookies record your consent to remember your choice of optional cookies. Safety and security We use some cookies to keep you and the platform safe and secure. For example, these types of cookies enable us to: prevent fraudulent attacks on our platform. Detect non-human traffic (bots). Detect suspicious activity. Check if an account was suspended for violating our Community Guidelines. This will let us take appropriate action. Schedule traffic and distribute it properly across networks. The cookies used for these purposes include “ttwid” cookies (retained for 1 year) and “security verification_ticket” cookies (retained for 1 month). Analytics and research Some cookies help us understand your use of the Platform and its features. They show which pages you view and how you interact. This information lets us measure and quickly fix any errors on the platform to improve your experience. We also use the information obtained through these cookies to test design ideas. It helps us understand user activity and patterns. This, in turn, improves the platform and its features. Below are examples of the analytics cookies we use, their purposes and their retention periods. The “ttwid” first-party cookie is for analytics and web optimisation. It lasts for a maximum of 13 months. We also use Google Analytics to analyse platform usage. This includes the number of page views and unique visitors. Google Analytics has a retention period of 24 months.
