Last updated: 08 November 2021

Thank you for visiting a Bold LLC and Auxiliant SARL (‘Provider’, ‘we’ or ‘us’) offering. To help inform you, we provide this notice (‘Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy’) on our family of websites, as well as our other related mobile websites, mobile Provider applications (‘mobile apps’), services, tools and other applications that link to this notice (collectively, the ‘Site’). This Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy governs your consent to our, as well as third-party partners’ and vendors’, use of a variety of cookies and tracking technology. You can find out more about these types of technology and how to control them in the information below. This Cookie and Tracking Technology Policy forms part of the Provider’s Privacy Policy, available at Privacy Policy

1. What are cookies and other tracking technology, and how do we use them?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device by a website that you have visited. Cookies may be placed by the Site (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies) to monitor the use of a website. Cookies will be identified depending on their purpose and functionality. Some types of cookie include, but are not limited to:

Necessary: These cookies are essential for the Site’s performance and enable you to use its features. Necessary cookies will always be dropped because these are required in order for the Site to function properly. For example, essential cookies include, but are not limited to: cookies dropped to provide the service, maintain your account, provide builder access, payment pages, create IDs for your documents and to store your consent. These cookies record the performance of the Site according to your interaction with it. We may use cookies/tracking technology required for systems administration, to prevent fraudulent activity, improve security or allow you to make use of shopping-basket functionality.

Analytics: These cookies analyse visitors’ use of our Site, as well offering you a better experience. Analytics-related cookies used on our Site do not identify you or allow us to send you targeted advertising. For example, we may use cookies/tracking technology for analytics-related purposes to: (a) determine the number of visitors to our Site, identify how visitors move around the Site and, in particular, which pages they visit. This allows us to improve our Site and our services; and (b) determine, if data is available, from which part of the world our Site is being visited so that we can ensure sufficient coverage. More specifically, and as an example, the Provider uses Google Analytics session cookies to provide meaningful reports about Site visitors. Google Analytics cookies do not collect personal data about Site visitors. We have also engaged other third-party providers to analyse the activities of visitors to this Site, and its authorised use of cookies and other tracking technology enable it to have access to information about visitors to this Site, including your personal information, to determine your user traits and preferences to better understand user conversion rates.

Performance and personalisation: These cookies make it possible for us to give you access to a customised experience. Personalisation cookies are used to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your interests on our Site and third-party sites based on how you interact with the different elements on our Site, as well as to track the content that you access (including viewing videos). We may also collect computer and/or connection information to tailor your experience to fit your requirements. During some visits, we may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, session information and page interaction information.

Advertising: These cookies are placed by third-party companies to deliver targeted content based on relevant topics that interest you (for example, providing you with Facebook ads that would interest you), and allow you to better interact with social media platforms such as Facebook. We may use advertising tracking technology to deliver content, including ads, relevant to your interests on our Site and third-party sites based on how you interact with our advertisements or content, as well as to track the content that you access (including viewing videos).

Our goal is to collect and use only information that we think is required for our legitimate business interests in order to better understand your interests and improve your experience of using the Site. Cookies set via our Site include those listed below in Section 2.

2. Controlling and deleting cookies and tracking technology

When you access this Site for the first time, or if you have not set your cookie preferences yet, depending on your location, you may be prompted to accept or decline the use of cookies, other than those that are essential. The Help function within your browser will also be available to guide you when setting your cookie preferences. If cookie preference settings are available in your country, you can change them at any time by accessing your account and clicking My settings – Privacy settings. If you have not created an account with us you can manage your cookie preferences by clicking here or through the Settings page of your browser. Please also note that in some cases, restricting, removing or refusing to accept cookies may reduce or prevent the functionality of the Site.

The following is a list of cookies dropped on the Site. When you accept cookies, you also allow the collection and sharing of your personal data with third-party vendors. Even though we are not responsible for third-party policies or practices, we do our utmost to ensure that these third-party vendors have privacy policies in place that comply with applicable privacy laws. We try to keep this information current, and will add to and subtract from the chart below from time to time, but it is provided as a courtesy and may not be accurate or up to date. Please contact the applicable third parties regarding their privacy and data security policies and practices. You can also find out more information about their policies by accessing their web pages.

3. Additional information

Here are a few additional important things that you should know about our use of cookies/tracking technology on our Site:

  • We offer certain features that are available only through the use of tracking technology.
  • We use both session and persistent tracking technology. Tracking technology (e.g. cookies) can either be persistent (i.e. they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e. they last only until you close your browser).
  • You are always free to decline tracking technology via your browser, although doing so may interfere with your use of the Site. You may be able to set your cookie preferences in your account profile by accessing My Account – Settings – Privacy settings, or refer to the Help section of your browser, browser extensions or installed applications for instructions on blocking, deleting or disabling tracking technology such as cookies.
  • We encode and protect the types of tracking technology that the Provider sets so that only we can interpret the information stored in them.
  • You may encounter tracking technology/cookies from our third-party service providers that we have allowed on our Site, such as Google Analytics. They assist us with various aspects of our operations and services.
  • You also may encounter tracking technology from third parties on certain pages of the Site that we do not control and have not authorised. (For example, if you view a web page created by another user, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.)
