HYLA® Mobile Analytics Portal Cookie Policy

This HYLA® Mobile Analytics Portal Cookie Policy forms part of the HYLA® Mobile Analytics Portal Privacy Policy. It explains what cookies are used in the HYLA® Mobile Analytics Portal (the “HYLA Portal”) that are operated by Hyla, Inc., (“Hyla”), and how you can control their use.

1.      What is a cookie?
A cookie is small file that a website can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system or your mobile device. 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 (in this case, Hyla) 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. website analytics services). 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.

2.      How long do cookies last?
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies,’ meaning that they exist only while your website browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies,’ meaning that they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you later re-open your browser and browse the internet again. The duration of the cookies used on the HYLA Portal is explained in more detail in the table below.

3.     How do we use cookies?
We use first party cookies to allow us to understand what areas of HYLA Portal are of interest to you so we can better serve and provide you with tailored information from HYLA Portal. We use first party cookies to collect data such as information about your web browser and operating system, the frequency of your visits, what you do on the HYLA Portal. We may allow our third party web analytics provider =to collect and analyze the data we obtain from our cookies to tell us how you use the HYLA Portal.

4.      Other technologies we may use
The HYLA Portal may also use “Web beacon” technologies. When you access pages with a Web beacon, an anonymous notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our analytics vendors. If used, Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies to let us know what portions of the HYLA Portal are of interest to our users and to help us provide you with tailored information from the HYL Portal. If you choose not to accept cookies, Web beacon technologies will still detect anonymous visits, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other information and are disregarded.  From this we may be able to identify the approximate geographic location of the computer from which you are visiting the HYLA Portal and the domain that it is using to access the Internet.

5.      Your rights to control cookies
You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies! You can block cookies by changing your browser settings so that cookies from this website cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. The “help” portion of the toolbar on most Internet browsers will tell you how to change your browser cookie settings, including how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that if you choose not to accept cookies you may not have access to certain features that make your experience of Hyla Portal more efficient and some of the features on Hyla Portal may not function properly.
