At Social Explorer, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This policy provides information about how and when we use cookies for these purposes. This Cookie Policy is a supplement to our Privacy Policy, which also includes additional details about the collection and use of information at Social Explorer.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files sent by us to your computer or mobile device, which enables Social Explorer features and functionality. They are unique to your account or your browser. Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire.

To find out more about cookies, visit this site.

Does Social Explorer use cookies?

Yes. Social Explorer uses cookies. We use both session-based and persistent cookies. Social Explorer sets and accesses our own cookies on the domains operated by Social Explorer (collectively, the “Sites”). In addition, we use third party cookies, like Google Analytics.

How does Social Explorer use cookies?

Some cookies are associated with your account and personal information in order to remember that you are logged in. Other cookies are not tied to your account, but are unique and allow us to carry out analytics and customization, among other similar things.

Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit a Site or use our Services (as defined in the Privacy Policy), remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that’s consistent with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions faster and more secure. Visit our cookie tables to learn more.

Categories of Use

Authentication

If you're signed in to our Services, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.

Security

We use cookies to enable and support our security features, and to help us detect malicious activity.

Preferences, Features and Services

Cookies can tell us what your preferences are like and they can help you fill out forms on our Sites more easily. They also provide you with features, insights, and customized content.

Marketing

We may use cookies to help us deliver marketing campaigns and track their performance (e.g., a user visited our Help Center and then made a purchase).

Performance, Analytics and Research

Cookies help us learn how well our Sites and Services perform. We also use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including creating logs and recording when you access our Sites and Services from different devices, such as your work computer or your mobile device.

What third-party cookies does Social Explorer use?

You can find a list of the third-party cookies that Social Explorer uses on our Sites along with other relevant information in our cookie tables. While we do our best to keep this table updated, please note that the number and names of cookies may change from time to time.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Social Explorer does not currently use cookies for advertising purposes. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy.

What can you do if you don't want cookies to be set or want them to be removed, or if you want to opt out of interest-based targeting?

Some people prefer not to allow cookies, which is why most browsers give you the ability to manage cookies. In some browsers you can set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, giving you more fine-tuned control over your privacy. What this means is that you can disallow cookies from all Sites except those that you trust.

Browser manufacturers provide help pages relating to cookie management in their products. Please consult your browser policy for more information.

If you limit the ability of websites and applications to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience and/or lose the ability to access the Services, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings, like login information.

Does Social Explorer respond to Do Not Track Signals?

Our Sites and Services do not collect personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Therefore, “do not track” signals transmitted from web browsers do not apply to our Sites or Services, and we do not alter any of our data collection and use practices upon receipt of such a signal.
