This Cookie Policy explains how Penleus ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.penleus.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information.
By continuing to browse or use our Site, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies in this way, you should set your browser settings accordingly or not use the Site.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie will remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, and will be activated each time you visit the Site. A session cookie is temporary and allows the website to link your actions during a browser session, and will be automatically deleted when you close your browser.
2. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our Site, including:
- Web Beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs): Tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements of website users and to access cookies. Unlike cookies, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
- Local Storage Objects: Similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. These include HTML5 local storage and caching.
- Tracking URLs: These are used to understand from which website the user has come to our Site.
Throughout this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as "cookies."
