We use cookies and other similar technologies to help provide, protect, and improve the Soctrip Platform. This policy explains the way and the reason we use these technologies and your choices.
Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your device (e.g. your phone or your computer and other devices). For example, a cookie may allow us to recognise your browser, while another may store your preferences. There are two types of cookies used in connection with our services: (1) “session cookies”, and (2) “persistent cookies.” Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, and can be used again the next time you access the Soctrip Platform.
We also use other technologies with similar functionality to cookies, such as web beacons, pixels, mobile identifiers, and tracking URLs, to obtain data (as described in Privacy Policy). For example, our email messages may contain web beacons and tracking URLs to determine whether you have opened a certain message or accessed a certain link. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as “cookies”.

Cookies help us provide, protect and improve the Soctrip Products, such as by personalizing content, modifying and measuring advertising, and providing a safer experience. Although the cookies we use may change from time to time as we improve and update the Soctrip Products. We use these cookies for a number of purposes, such as:

• To verify your account and determine when you log in to help you access the Soctrip Platform easier, and to show you appropriate features and experiences.
  For example, we use cookies to maintain your login status as you navigate between Soctrip sites. Cookies also help us remember your browser so that you do not have to remain logged in to Soctrip, and so you can log in to Soctrip more easily through third party applications and websites.

We may also allow certain business partners to place these technologies on the Soctrip Platform. These partners use these technologies to:

1. help us analyze how you use the Soctrip Platform, such as by recording the third party services you visit,
2. marketing and advertising the Soctrip service to you on the Soctrip Platform and third party websites,
3. help us detect or prevent fraud or conduct risk assessments or
4. collect information about your activities on the Soctrip Platform, other websites and/or the advertisements you have clicked on.

For example, to help us better understand how people use the Soctrip Platform, we work with a number of analytics partners, including Google Analytics. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analysis, you can set the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser.

Third parties may also use these tracking technologies to create advertisements they believe are most likely to be of interest to you and to measure the effectiveness of their advertising on the Soctrip Platform and on the websites, other online services. The targeting and advertising cookies we use may include Google, other carriers and advertising services that we sometimes use. For more information about targeting and advertising cookies and how you can opt-out of advertising, you can visit the advertising opt-out page. To opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising or to customize Google's display network advertising, you can visit the Google Ads Advertising Settings page. In the event that advertising technology is integrated into the Soctrip Platform and you opt-out of appropriate advertising, you may still receive advertising content. In that case, the advertising content will not be tailored to your preferences. In addition, we do not control any paths to refuse cookies and are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

The Soctrip Platform may use social plugins provided and operated by third parties, such as login with Facebook and Google.
