This Policy (hereinafter referred to as "Policy") refers to the use of cookies and the website operated by California Geospatial Solutions, with headquarters in _____________________________________, hereinafter referred to as "We" or "Shop California Geospatial Solutions".
1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small text file, typically composed of identifiers, website names, letters, and numbers. When users browse a webpage using a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.), they may choose to allow or disallow the storage of this file on their computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment. The cookie file itself is "passive," meaning it does not contain any software, viruses, spyware, and cannot access information stored on the user's hard disk.
The original cookies are set by the website you are visiting and can only be read by that website. Additionally, websites sometimes use external services that place their own cookies—these are known as third-party cookies.
Persistent cookies are stored on your computer and, unlike session cookies, are not automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Each time you visit our website, you will be asked to accept or decline cookies.
2. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?
We use two types of cookies:
• session - temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the browsing session is closed or the application (web browser) is closed
• persistent - files that remain on the user's terminal for a period defined by the parameters of that cookie or until manually deleted by the user.
Some of our pages may display content from external providers, e.g. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
To view third-party content, you must first agree to their specific terms and conditions - including their cookie policies, which we cannot control.
But if you don't view that content, you won't be set any third-party cookies.
3. WHAT DATA DO COOKIES CONTAIN?
In most cases, cookies do not directly identify Internet users but rather the device from which they accessed certain web pages. This data is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access by third parties.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user via an account):
• content and services tailored to user preferences - news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, fun websites and travel services;
• offers tailored to users' interests - password retention, language preferences (e.g. displaying search results in English)
• retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
• measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as: confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Website owners run these analytics to improve their websites for the benefit of users.
4. RETENTION AND DELETION OF COOKIES
Typically, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be stored on the user's device by default. However, users can change these settings to block automatic cookie handling by the web browser or to be notified each time cookies are sent to their device.
5. MODIFICATION OF THIS POLICY
Where necessary, we may modify this policy to reflect applicable legal requirements and processes carried out by us on the website operator's site in relation to the use of cookies.
6. HOW CAN YOU MANAGE COOKIES?
Deleting cookies on your device:
You can delete any cookies that are already on your device by clearing your browser's browsing history. This will delete all cookies from all the websites you have visited. This means, however, that you may lose some saved information (e.g. website preferences).
Managing site-specific cookies:
For more detailed control over website-specific cookies, check the privacy settings and cookie settings in your favorite browser.
Blocking cookies:
On most modern browsers, you can prevent all cookies from being placed on your device. However, this may mean that you have to manually set certain preferences each time you visit a website/page. Some services and features may not work correctly.
