For additional details about the collection and use of Personal Data on the Websites, please Launchmetrics Hackathon Privacy Policy which is an integral part of the present Cookies Policy.

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that a user’s device (computer, tablet or mobile) downloads when it visits a website. They allow a website to “remember” your computer (or your device), but not specifically who is using it, and improve your user experience.
Depending on the sources, cookies can be “first party”, i.e. cookies that a visitor receives from the same website that he/she is visiting, or cookies that visitor receives from other websites or web-servers provided, so called “third party” cookies.

Moreover, cookies can be “session” or “persistent” cookies. A session cookie is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes the browser, whereas a persistent cookie is a cookie that remains stored in the user’s terminal device until it reaches a predetermined expiration date.
Cookies can be also classified depending on the purposes that they fulfill. Please make reference to the following section to know more about it.

How is Launchmetrics using cookies?

The cookies we implemented on the Websites might collect Personal Data (IP address for example), but we do not combine the information collected through the cookies with other Personal Data that you might have provided us. As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Website.

Our Websites use several types of cookies (either first party, third party, session and persistent cookies) for different purposes..

In particular, the type of cookie used on our Websites can fall under one of the categories below:

Type of Cookies	Function
Strictly necessary	These cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies
Performance or Analytical	These cookies are used by us or third-party service providers to analyze how the Websites are used and how they are performing. For example, these cookies track what pages are most frequently visited, and from what locations or channels our visitors come from. If you subscribe to a newsletter or otherwise fill in a form on our Websites, these cookies may be correlated to you. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies include, for example, Google Analytics or Hubspot cookies.
Functional	These cookies are used to improve your experience using our Website. These cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the Website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. This includes recording your acceptance of our cookie banner displayed the first time you visited the Website (or each time, depending on your choice). All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Website, some of the features of the Website might not be available.
Targeting	These cookies collect information about your activities on these Websites and other sites to provide you targeted advertising and deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. We may also allow our third-party service providers to use cookies on the Websites for the same purposes identified above, including collecting information about your online activities over time and across different websites. The third-party service providers that generate these cookies, such as Adroll, Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook, have their own privacy policies, and may use their cookies to target advertising to you on other websites, based on your visit to our Websites. Launchmetrics uses the advertising program Google Adwords and the Google Remarketing technology. Both are managed by the company Google Inc. (“Google”). To measure conversions with Google Adwords a conversion tracking cookie is installed when users click on a Launchmetrics Ad shown by Google. The conversion tracking cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify users. Google uses different cookies for each client of Google Adwords and does not consolidate the cookie information with other data. When clicking on one of our ads and accessing one of our pages with the tracking code (and the cookie has not expired) the conversion is recorded. With the help of the conversion tracking cookie, Launchmetrics can get the total number of conversions and analyze the effectiveness of our ads. You can find more information about Adwords here: https://support.google.com/adwords/topic/3121763?hl=en&ref_topic=3119071 When you click on one of our ads, Google remarketing cookie is installed. This cookie helps us to show ads on other pages that belong to the Google content network. Remarketing cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to obtain personal information. For more information on remarketing, you can click here: https://www.google.com/ads/innovations/remarketing.html. These cookies are used by the various services of Google: _utma, _utmb, _utmc, _utmz, _ga.

Our display advertising partner, AdRoll, then enables us to present you with retargeting advertising on other sites based on your previous interaction with the Website. The techniques our partners employ do not collect Personal Data such as your name, email address, postal address, or telephone number. You can visit THIS PAGE to opt out of AdRoll’s and their partners’ targeted advertising.
We may also include web beacons in marketing e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and links contained within clicked on.
