Cookie Policy
How does IgniteSMS use cookies?
At IgniteSMS, we want to be transparent about the user information we collect and how we use it. We use cookies across our domain, to support the functionality of our portal, to understand how our customers use our service and to track how the public is engaging with our public content.
We collect anonymized tracking information to understand in general how users interact with our domain, and when users opt in to our service or our marketing programs, the personal data they provide may be associated with that previously anonymized tracking data. This information helps us understand our performance, streamline workflows and place the most relevant information in front of site visitors.
All personal information is maintained internally, and no information is shared with outside parties for commercial purposes unrelated to IgniteSMS's business without your express permission. For more information, visit our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that allows web services to recognize you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes: (1) to enable certain functions, (2) to provide analytics, (3) to store your preferences and (4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising.
You can manage how your system manages cookies in the user preferences of your preferred browser, and most browsers include a private browsing mode that does not retain cookies.
Many jurisdictions require or recommend that website operators inform users/visitors as to the nature of cookies they utilize and, in certain circumstances, obtain the consent of their users to the placement of certain cookies. Information about what any individual cookie is used for can be found in the list below.
Types of cookies
A cookie may last only one session, known as a session cookie, or it may last beyond a single session, referred to as a persistent cookie. Session cookies link user actions together in one browser session, while persistent cookies are activated each time a user visits a domain for long-term behavior tracking and saved preferences.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (First Party Cookies) are sometimes called “strictly necessary,” as without them, we cannot provide many services that you need on our site. For example, essential cookies help remember your preferences as you move around the website.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies track information about visits to our site so that we can make improvements and report our performance. For example: analyze visitor and user behavior so as to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. They collect information about how visitors use our site, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the site. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages or features to see how users react to them.

These preferences are remembered, through the use of persistent cookies, and the next time you visit the site, you will not have to set them again.

These Third Party Cookies are placed by third party advertising platforms or networks in order to deliver ads and track ad performance, enable advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities (this is sometimes called “behavioral,” “tracking” or “targeted” advertising) on the site. They may subsequently use information about your visit to target you with advertising that you may be interested in, on our site or other websites. For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited the site.
IgniteSMS Cookie List
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Sale of Personal Data
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. These cookies collect information for analytics and to personalize your experience with targeted ads. You may exercise your right to opt out of the sale of personal information by using this toggle switch. If you opt out we will not be able to offer you personalised ads and will not hand over your personal information to any third parties. Additionally, you may contact our legal department for further clarification about your rights as a California consumer by using this Exercise My Rights link.
If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we have to take that as a valid request to opt-out. Therefore we would not be able to track your activity through the web. This may affect our ability to personalize ads according to your preferences.
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
