This policy describes how “MyNewEarth” uses cookies and other similar technology on this website.
What is a Cookie?
For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – which are small text files – on its users’ computers. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated websites to recognise these users for a particular purpose. Information collected by cookies is now classed as personal data. Cookies set by MyNewEarth as the website owner are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by third parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies.”
Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the internet much smoother and more interactive.
How do we use cookies?
We do our utmost to respect users’ privacy. We use cookies to monitor and improve our services.
Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies do a lot of different jobs, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Assisting you in navigation;
- Assisting in registration to our events, login, and your ability to provide feedback;
- Analysing your use of our services or applications;
- Assisting with our promotional and marketing efforts.
We classify cookies we use in the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to enable you to move about the MyNewEarth website. Without them, you would not be able to use basic services. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you’ve been on the internet. There is no need for consent for the use of such cookies.
Preferences cookies
These cookies ensure that the website stores your choices (e.g. your user name, language and location) and offers enhanced and customised functions. Data stored by these cookies may be anonymised and these cookies cannot keep track of your browser activities on other websites.
Statistics cookies
These cookies gather information on how you use the website. For example, it records which part of the sites you visit most frequently and whether you are receiving error messages from them. These cookies do not compile information that would identify you. All data compiled by these cookies are aggregated and are therefore anonymous. These data are used only to enhance the site’s functionality.
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to (1) deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests; (2) limit the number of times you see an advertisement; (3) help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign; and (4) understand people’s behavior after they view an advertisement. They are usually placed on behalf of advertising networks with the site operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a site and quite often they will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.
Within these four categories, cookies are classified as either ‘Session’ or ‘Persistent’ cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary. They allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
- Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
