Last update: November 10, 2021.

Thank you for using Spotiz! Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. The information provided to us helps us provide you with an excellent experience with Spotiz.

Spotiz uses cookies and similar technologies to power, protect and enhance the Spotiz Platform. This policy explains how and why we use these technologies and the choices available to you.

A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your device (e.g., your phone or computer). For example, one cookie may allow us to recognize your browser, while another may store your preferences.

Four types of cookies are used on the Site:

The cookies that are absolutely necessary allow you to move around the site and use its basic functionalities. They are generally installed only in response to actions on your part to access services, such as connecting to a secure area of our site. These cookies are indispensable for the use of this site.
Feature cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our site and allow us to provide you with enhanced and more personalized features, such as welcoming you by name and recording your preferences (such as your language or region). These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other sites.
Analysis and performance cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to our site and to collect information about how our site is used (e.g., which pages are most viewed by visitors, do users get error messages on some of our pages, etc.). This allows us to improve the way our website works, for example, by making sure that users can easily find what they are looking for.
Advertising or targeting cookies record your visit to our site, as well as the pages you visited and the links you followed. We will use this information to display relevant advertisements based on your interests. It is also used to limit the number of times you see the same ad and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. For example, we may also share this information with third parties (such as advertisers).

These cookies are grouped into two categories of cookies used on the Site: (1) “session cookies” and (2) “persistent cookies”. Session cookies will normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies will remain on your device once you close your browser and can be used again the next time you visit the Site.

We also use other technologies that offer similar functionality to cookies, such as web beacons, pixels, mobile device identifiers, and tracking URLs, to obtain Login Information (as described in the Privacy Policy). For example, our e-mails may contain web beacons and tracking URLs to determine whether you have opened a particular message or accessed a particular link.

We may also use these device-related techniques to associate you with various devices that you may use to access our content, including for fraud protection and better targeting of advertising.

VI – Third parties
