Cookie and Internet Advertising Policy

To make our www.classite.com website work properly, We sometimes place small data files called cookies on Your device. In addition, We display internet-based ads to You using information You make available to Us when You visit and interact with Our site. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on Your computer or mobile device every time You visit the site. It enables the website to remember Your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so You don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever You come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies may have different lifespans:

Persistent cookies remember certain information about Your preferences for viewing the sites, and allows Us to recognise you each time you return. These are stored on your browser cache or mobile device until You choose to delete them.

Session cookies are specific to a particular visit to the site that carry information as You view different pages on Our sites so You don’t have to re-enter information.

How do we use cookies?

Your browser, according to internet standards, sends this token back to Our server each time it requests a resource from Our server, such as a new page to which You are navigating. Our servers then look up Your secure profile using this token.

• Participating in Forums
• Saving preferences

These cookies are not essential to site browsing experience other than collecting data on how We can improve the site based on anonymous browsing behaviors and for the third party advertisers to show You relevant ads.

We also partner with third-party services, who may use various tracking technologies to provide certain services or features, including targeted online marketing techniques such as attribution tracking, remarketing, and cross-device tracking.

1. Attribution tracking means identifying the advertising or marketing source a user followed to arrive at Our sites, or to determine what source should get credit for site visits.

Some of these third-party services may provide us with information about You (such as demographic information, cross-device information, or interest categories) so that we may provide You with more relevant and useful advertising, enhance Our data, improve Our Services, or for marketing purposes.

We do not allow third parties to access personally identifiable information from Us via cookies or tracking technology. However, these technologies may allow Us or a third party to recognize You, either across devices or over time. We do not have control over third-party technologies, which maintain their own privacy policies, and they are not covered by Our Privacy Policy.

Internet Advertising

On Our sites and unaffiliated sites, We display interest-based advertising using information You make available to Us when You interact with Our sites, content, or services. Interest-based ads (i.e., personalized or targeted ads) are displayed to You based on information from activities such as interacting with Our sites, use of devices, apps or software, or visiting sites that contain Our content or ads. See Our Privacy Policy for more information about the types of information that We gather and how it is used.

Like other websites, We use tracking technologies (collectively, "cookies"). Cookies enable Us to learn about what ads You see, what ads You click, and other actions You take on Our sites and other sites. This allows Us to provide You with more useful and relevant ads and avoid showing You the same ads repeatedly.  We do not associate Your interaction with unaffiliated sites with Your identity in providing You with interest-based ads.

We do not share any personal data with the advertisers and third party sites that display Our interest-based ads. However, advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalised ad or content are part of the group that the ad or content is directed towards (for example, users in a particular geographical area or users who bought or browsed for specific categories of goods). We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third party sites may use, and the data practices of these advertisers and third party websites are not covered by Our Privacy Policy or this Cookies and Internet Advertising Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.
