SceneScout Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how SceneScout, a location scouting service operating in Vancouver, British Columbia, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at [insert website address here]. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies enable 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 set by the website owner (in this case, SceneScout) are called "first party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies." Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
How We Use Cookies
SceneScout uses cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Website Functionality: To operate our website efficiently and provide you with the services you have requested.
- Personalization: To remember your preferences and settings, such as language and dark mode settings.
- Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are most popular and how long visitors stay on the site. This helps us improve our website and provide a better user experience.
- Marketing: To deliver targeted advertisements and marketing messages. (Note: We currently do not use cookies for targeted advertising, but may do so in the future, in which case this policy will be updated).
Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in more detail below:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. Functionality cookies can also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. (Note: We currently do not use cookies for targeted advertising, but may do so in the future, in which case this policy will be updated).
