Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 September 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how Xazytoy ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our platform at xazytoy.com. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge and accept the practices described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, operate more efficiently, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
Cookies set by the website owner 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, such as analytics, advertising, and interactive content.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. In most cases, there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to our platform. It is recommended that you leave all cookies enabled if you are not sure whether you need them, in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as accessing your account or joining a live webinar — cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be opted out of.
2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
2.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Examples include remembering your language preference, display settings, or region selection.
2.4 Targeting and Preference Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our service partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on our platform and other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less tailored content.
3. Types of Cookies by Duration
3.1 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are typically used to maintain your login state and preferences during a single visit.
3.2 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after your browser session ends, or until you delete them manually. They are used to recognise you as a returning visitor and to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through our platform.
- Analytics providers that help us understand how our platform is being used and how we can improve the experience for all users.
- Webinar and video streaming services that enable live broadcast functionality, real-time interaction, and session recording features.
- Payment processors that handle secure transaction processing when you register for paid sessions or subscriptions.
- Customer support tools that allow us to offer live assistance and manage communications with our users.
We do not have control over the cookies placed by third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our platform.
5. Cookies We Set
The following categories of cookies are set directly by our platform:
- Account-related cookies: When you register with us or log in to your account, we use cookies to manage the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out, though in some cases they may remain to remember your preferences after logout.
- Login cookies: We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.
- Session state cookies: Our platform may offer certain features and these cookies are essential to ensure these features work correctly and consistently across your visit.
- Email newsletter cookies: If you subscribe to our newsletter or email communications, we may set cookies to remember whether you have already been shown certain notifications or messages.
6. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
6.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options", "Preferences", or "Settings" menu of your browser. You can set your browser to:
- Notify you when cookies are being set
- Accept or block all cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block third-party cookies only
Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our platform. Some features, including the ability to participate in live webinars or access your account, may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.
6.2 Opt-Out Tools
For analytics and tracking cookies, you may be able to opt out through industry-provided tools and opt-out mechanisms. These tools allow you to prevent your data from being used by participating analytics and advertising networks.
6.3 Cookie Consent
When you first visit our platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You may update your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option available on our website.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our platform does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our approach if a standard is established.
8. Data Collected Through Cookies
The data collected through cookies may include, but is not limited to:
- Your IP address and general geographic location
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URLs and navigation paths
- Session identifiers and authentication tokens
- Language and regional preferences
This data is used solely for the purposes described in this policy and is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we collect, process, and store personal information.
9. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may be associated with personal data, particularly when you are logged in to your account. In such cases, the processing of personal data through cookies is governed by our Privacy Policy. We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and improving our platform, or where required for the performance of a contract with you.
We do not sell personal data collected through cookies to third parties.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data collected through cookies from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Sensitive session cookies are transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and are marked as secure where applicable.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, legal requirements, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
If we make significant changes to this policy, we may notify you through a prominent notice on our website or by other appropriate means.
