Cookie Policy

Our cookie policy and how we use them

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how LicenseTrail.com ("LicenseTrail", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites or use our services (collectively, the "Service"). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share personal data more generally.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or operate more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and support personalization, security, and advertising. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, may also be used for similar purposes in connection with the Service.

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies in a variety of ways to provide and improve the Service, including to:

  • Authenticate you and keep you signed into your account.
  • Maintain security, detect fraud, and protect the integrity of the Service.
  • Remember your preferences and settings, such as language and display options.
  • Understand how you use the Service, which pages you visit, and which features you interact with, so we can improve performance and usability.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
  • Deliver and measure advertising and retargeting, where applicable and consistent with your consent and preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

The cookies used through the Service generally fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of the Service and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service may not function properly.
  • Performance and analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Service by collecting information such as which pages are visited and how users navigate the Service. We use this information to improve the performance and user experience of the Service.
  • Functionality cookies: These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make, such as language or region, and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
  • Advertising and targeting cookies: These cookies may be set through the Service by us or by our advertising or retargeting partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or limit how often you see an ad. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it may be less relevant to you.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set directly by LicenseTrail ("first-party" cookies). Others may be set by third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or integration partners ("third-party" cookies). Third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and services.

We do not control how third parties use their cookies or the information they collect. Their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

Your Choices About Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies:

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies entirely, some features of the Service may not work properly.
  • Cookie preferences: Where available, you may be able to manage your cookie preferences through a cookie banner or preferences center provided on the Service, which allows you to accept or reject certain categories of non-essential cookies.
  • Third-party opt-outs: Some third-party providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms for analytics or advertising cookies. You may review their privacy or cookie policies for more information about the choices they offer.

Because cookie-related choices are specific to the device and browser you use, you may need to set your preferences separately on each device and browser.

Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, and we do not guarantee that the Service will interpret or respond to such signals in a particular way. You can still use other tools and settings described in this policy to manage cookies and related tracking.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice as required by applicable law.

Contact Us

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies and similar technologies, you can contact LicenseTrail.com at its principal place of business in Houston, Texas, United States. Additional or updated contact details may be provided on the Service from time to time.
