COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated November 22, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how V Cinema ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites at https://www.vcinema.com, ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies and other tracking technologies on the Services, including but not limited to web beacons/GIFs, pixels, and SDKs (together “Cookies” unless otherwise stated), are small files or technologies that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit online site, service or app. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. They are used to recognize visitors across one or more browsing sessions and across one or more sites. Cookies help enable certain features (like remembering you so you do not have to re-log in), improve the Services, and deliver advertising. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, V Cinema) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes, and they may collect and use information as we have described in this Notice and our Privacy Policy and pursuant to their own privacy policies. This is described in more detail below. The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit).

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject first and third-party cookies. If you choose to accept the cookies, just click the ‘Ok’ option on the cookie notification banner that appears on the site. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services. If you choose to block the cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Types of Cookies

Our Services use the following types of first and third-party Cookies. To make choices about Cookies, please follow the instructions below under the section Cookie Management:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies - These cookies are strictly necessary to allow you to move around the Services and use their features, such as accessing your subscriptions. Without these Cookies, we cannot enable appropriate content based on the type of device you are using. Therefore, these Cookies cannot be disabled.


• Functional Cookies - These Cookies allow us to remember choices you make on our websites (such as your preferred language or the region you are in). If you disable functional Cookies, you may not be able to use some of our features or those features may not function properly.


• Embedded Scripts - An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device, is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.


• Analytics Cookies - We use Cookies to see how you use our Services in order to enhance their performance and develop them according to the preferences of our customers and visitors. For example, Cookies may be used to maintain a consistent look and feel across our Services, track and provide trend analysis on how our users interact with our Services, track errors, to try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones or tablets), or work with service providers that do this, in order to save your preferences across devices and analyse usage of the Services, and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.


• Third-Party Cookies - Some of our third party partners (including advertisers and marketing services companies) may set and access Cookies on your computer as well, or we may do so on their behalf. To see a list of our third party partners, please click here. We do not have control over how these third parties use such Cookies or the information derived therefrom, and other than the choices offered by V Cinema, our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that such third parties may have collected from you or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information.


• Advertising Cookies - These Cookies collect data about your browsing habits, including opening emails, as well as your preferences for products and services. This information allows V Cinema to improve the Services and serve you relevant advertisements on our Services. Certain third party partners may also combine the information they collect and/or hashed email addresses in order to identify your email address or other information about you and share that information with us. Some advertisements may also contain an icon that you may click on to find out more about how to manage your advertising preferences.


• Third-Party Functional Cookies - These Cookies are defined by third parties who support our Services and allow you to use useful services and features.


• Web Beacons - Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies may be included in our web pages and messages. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail including them. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Services, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. A clear gif may enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your Personally Identifiable Information. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. To refuse Web Beacons, please follow the instructions below under the section Cookie Management.


• Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects - Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and other site operations. If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to as "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash SOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.


• HTML - HTML, the language some websites are coded in, may be used to store information on your computer or device about your interaction with and use of the Services. This information may be retrieved by us to help us manage our Services, such as by giving us information about how our Services are being used by our visitors, how they can be improved, and to customise them for our users.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
