Last Revised: September 6, 2024
Midasboard uses cookies and other commonly used technologies such as web beacons, device identifiers, and tracer tags to collect automated information when you visit our website (“Site”).
This policy complements our Privacy Policy and they should therefore be read together for a full understanding of our practices and your rights with respect to the protection of personal information.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text containing a unique identifier that is sent to your browser by a website you visit. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, and allow the site to remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you. This information may include, for example, your username, operating system, IP address, language settings.
Midasboard also uses similar technologies such as “tracer tags” or “web beacons”, which provide information to us or our partners about your interactions with our Site, such as the pages you visit, the features you use, and the length of your visit. In this policy, the term “cookies” also refers to these types of technology.
Cookies can either be temporary or persistent: temporary means they are deleted from your device after your browsing session and browser are closed, and persistent means they are stored on your device until their deletion.
