This Cookie Policy
explains how Brightline Interactive ("Company,"
"we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar
technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at
https://www.brightlineinteractive.com
("Website"). It explains what these technologies are
and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we
may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine
it with other information.
What are
cookies?
Cookies are small
data 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 set by the
website owner (in this case, Company) 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.
Why do we use
cookies?
We use first- and third-party
cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our
Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other
cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our
Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
This is described in more detail below.
How can I control
cookies?
You have the right
to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your
preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which
categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are
strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent
Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies,
you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may
be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse
cookies.
The specific types
of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are
described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties
you visit):

How can I

through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu
for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular
browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you

What about
other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the
only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other,
similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or
"clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to
recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an
email including them. This allows us, for example,
to monitor the traffic patterns of
users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies,
to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement
displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the
success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant
on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their
functioning.
Do you use Flash
cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local
Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our
services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust
the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the
Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the
Global Storage Settings
Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that
explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the
Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being
asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by
the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that
setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in
connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted
advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve
advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested
in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They
can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and
other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest
to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name,
contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide
these.
How often will
you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update
this
Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use
or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie
Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related
technologies.
The date at the
top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
