Cookie Policy
Last updated September 20, 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how we uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.meteorops.com. 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 are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. 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.
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 (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 website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our online properties. Third parties also serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes, which are described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of the website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our website, and the purposes they perform, are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific online properties you visit):

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear GIFs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email. This allows us, for example, to monitor user traffic patterns, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you arrived at the website from an online advertisement, improve site performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies may impair their functionality.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services, for 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 available in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by visiting the Global Storage Settings Panel, which includes instructions on how to delete existing Flash Cookies, prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your permission, and block Flash Cookies that are not delivered by the page's operator.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit Flash Cookies may reduce the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to display advertising through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services you may be interested in. They may also employ technology to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be done by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites to deliver 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 directly identifying information unless you provide these voluntarily.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
