Cookies Policy Statement
Here at MyTruDate, one of our top priorities is to protect your personal data to the fullest extent possible. We strive to make our User's experience as robust as possible. In furtherance of both goals, we publish this Cookies Policy in a spirit of transparency so all Users can understand how we collect information about their use of our Platform.

By continuing to use our App and/or Website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies, which may include data exchange and/or disclosure with third parties.
What are “Cookies” and why do we use them?
Unlike desserts we all love, "cookies" are small text files containing unique identifiers that are used to store small pieces of information on your computer or mobile device. We use cookies and similar technologies when you use the MyTruDate mobile application (including the desktop version) ("App") or the MyTruDate website, www.mytrudate.com ("Website").
We may also use other technologies such as web beacons (also called pixels), tracking URLs and software development kits (SDKs) for similar purposes as cookies. Web beacons are files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has accessed content on our Platform. Tracking URLs are unique links that help us understand where visitors to our Platform are coming from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in applications, which function like cookies and web beacons. For the purposes of this Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as "Cookies".
They allow us to recognize you and your preferences each time you visit the MyTruDate Platform. Some cookies ensure the functioning of the MyTruDate App and Website which in turn allows us to provide the services that our Users request and to improve your user experience.

Third Party Service Providers
We work with third-party products and/or services (“Service Providers”) to offer and present our App and/or Site to you. These Service Providers help us track and analyze our user activity, measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts, and support the optimization of our digital marketing campaigns and carry out targeted advertising campaigns.
Our Service Providers may get more information about your activity, including pages you visit, access times, visit duration, how you arrived at our App and/or Site and your IP address. An IP address is a number that identifies a device connected to the internet. For most devices, the IP address changes on at least a weekly basis. Our Service Providers may also get device identifiers and specific information about the browser you use. In some cases, this information may be unique to you. We may share and/or sell your information collected from you on the App and/or Site with third party vendors, advertising companies, or analytics providers. The App and/or Site also participates in targeted advertising wherein it contracts with Service Providers to collect certain information when you visit the App and/or Site to provide measurement services and target ads to users. These companies use information collected from the App and/or Site (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, hardware or software information, cookie and session ID) and personal information (e.g., IP address) during your visits to the App and/or Site and other websites in order to tailor advertisements about goods and services to you. These Service Providers typically use a cookie, third party web beacon, or other similar tracking technologies to collect this information. The App and Site also work with third parties that collect information across various channels including, but not limited to, computers, mobile devices, and other connected devices, over time, for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. Your data may be transferred outside the country from which it was originally collected. Our Site provides you with the option to opt out of targeted advertising via its cookie preferences.

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
Our Site may also use pixels which are HTML code snippets that are loaded when a user visits a website or opens an email. It is useful for tracking user behavior and activity. With a tracking pixel, advertisers can get data for online marketing, web analysis or email marketing. If such data is analyzed in a particular way, the data collected through these pixels can be used for other purposes as well, for example retargeting/behavioral advertising.
If you’d like to disable these tracking pixels, there are a number of ways in which you can prevent your data from being collected by tracking pixels:
Set browser and email settings to be as restrictive as possible such that external graphics are only supported after permission, and HTML emails are not supported. Appropriate firewall settings can also do this.
Some browser extensions can be used to make tracking pixels visible (e.g., PixelBlock, uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, etc.).
