What it does

Cookies necessary for essential Website purposes

These cookies are essential to provide you with the Website and any services available through this Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible.

Functionality Cookies

These are cookies that are required for the administration and operation of our site as they are necessary for our site to function properly. We may use functional cookies that allow us to remember choices you have made in relation to the site so as to provide a more personalised experience and enhanced user experience by delivering content specific to your interests. This is to say functionality cookies record information about choices you’ve made and allow us to tailor the Website to you. This also enables you to move around the site and use its features.

These cookies may also mean that when you continue to use or come back to the Website, we can provide you with our services as you have asked for them to be provided. For example, these cookies allow us to:

Save your location preference if you have set your location on your homepage, if applicable, in order to receive a local weather forecast;

Remember settings you have applied, such as layout, text size, preferences, and colors;

Show you when you are logged in; and

Store accessibility options.

Analytical and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics service providers for website traffic analysis and reporting. Analytics service providers generate statistical and other information about the use of the site by using cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how often visitors return to the site, how long they stay and how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. The information generated relating to the site may be used to create reports about the use of the site and the analytics service provider will also store this information.

We use performance/analytics cookies to analyze how the Website is accessed, used, or is performing in order to provide you with a better user experience and to maintain, operate and continually improve the Website. For example, these cookies allow us to:

Better understand our Website visitors so that we can improve how we present our content;

Test different design ideas for particular pages, such as our homepage;

Collect information about Website visitors such as where they are located and what browsers they are using;

Determine the number of unique users of the Website;

Improve the Website by measuring any errors that occur; and

Conduct research and diagnostics to improve product offerings.

Advertising, tracking and Targeting Cookies

As you use our Website, you will notice that it features advertising. We allow third party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Website. These cookies enable such companies to track your activity across various sites where they display ads and record your activities so they can show ads that they consider relevant to you as you browse the Internet. These cookies are anonymous — they store information about the content you are browsing, but not about who you are.

These cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you’ve seen an ad or a type of ad, and how long it has been since you’ve last seen it. This information is used for frequency capping purposes, to help tailor the ads you see, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. Therefore; We may use these cookies on our site to help us to place relevant GetValue.co advertising on others’ sites when you visit such sites. We do this because we value your visit to our site and hope that you will be interested in other GetValue.co offerings when you visit other sites

These cookies also record your visit to our site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed to other sites. We will use this information to try and make our site and other sites that you visit more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with others, such as other Get Value, Inc companies and carefully selected third parties. For this purpose, We work with technology partners to support our website and to provide you with relevant information about the products and services of other Get Value, Inc companies on our site and on affiliated sites or sites within the advertising networks we work with. If you are not happy with this, please see the section of this policy titled “How do I turn cookies off below”.

Social Media Cookies

On some pages of our Website, third parties that provide applications through our Website may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you. For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button on our Website (e.g., Twitter or Facebook), the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.

Because GetValue.co has its presence on various social networks, we try and make it as easy as possible to share content and to see what content is popular on those networks. We add buttons to allow people to easily share to those networks. We also use Facebook plugins to power the commenting functionality on our site. When we include these social ‘plugins’, it gives those sites the flexibility to use cookies. While they can’t read any cookies we set from GetValue.co, and we can’t read any cookies they set, but it lets them do the same kind of traffic measuring that we do on the rest of GetValue.co, and it also lets them know whether you’re logged in or not. For example, if you’re logged in to Facebook, read a post by Gaston Ngailo and want to make a comment, you can do that straight away without having to log in again – we never know whether you’re logged in or not, as you communicate directly with Facebook, through their plugins on our site. Some pages of our Website may also contain embedded content, such as video content from YouTube or Vimeo, and these sites may set their own cookies.

Finally you must understand that, because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by us.
