How We Use Cookies
Last Updated: November 2024
At Admin, we are committed to transparency regarding how we collect, use, and manage data on our platforms. This document explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences.
Quick Summary
We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, analyze how you use our services, and personalize your experience. You can accept, reject, or manage these preferences at any time through our cookie banner or your browser settings.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you interact with the site, and ensure that certain features work properly. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use based on their purpose:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are directly tied to the services you request.
- Session ID: Maintains your logged-in state as you navigate our platform.
- Security Tokens: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats.
- Load Balancing: Ensures optimal server performance and routing.
2. Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous information. We use this data to improve site navigation, fix issues, and optimize content delivery. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
- Page Views & Traffic Sources: Tracks how you arrived at our site and which pages you visit.
- Error Reporting: Identifies broken links or loading issues to improve reliability.
3. Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
4. Marketing & Advertising 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 advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at any time.
Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies. These include analytics providers, payment processors, and marketing partners. While we encourage these partners to follow privacy best practices, we are not responsible for their cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services linked to or embedded within our platform.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You have several options to control how cookies are used on our platform:
- Cookie Banner: When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can select which categories of cookies you accept or decline.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menu. You can typically find these options under "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy & Security". Note that blocking cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
- Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Please note that not all websites support this feature uniformly.
Important Note on Browser Restrictions
If you choose to restrict or block cookies, certain features of our platform (such as authentication, personalized dashboards, or secure sessions) may not function correctly. We recommend allowing at least strictly necessary cookies to ensure a secure and functional experience.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our business practices. Any material changes will be communicated through our website, app notifications, or email. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate when the most recent changes were made.
