This policy explains how BetaTesting and our third party service providers and partners use cookies and related technologies like web beacons to collect and store information. This cookie policy applies to all BetaTesting services.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file sent from a website and stored on a user's computer by the web browser. Cookies were created as a reliable way for websites to remember the state of a user’s browsing session and used to store small pieces of additional data. For example, cookies allow websites to track whether or not a user is logged in and to identify that user across the various pages of the website as they browse.
What types of cookies and similar technologies does BetaTesting use?
We use persistent and session-based cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. We use persistent cookies to help recognize you when you return as an existing user and to allow you to use our services without logging in again. We store a persistent cookie on your browser when you use and log into our service. Then when you return to our service, we read the data within the cookie file to remember who you are. Session cookies only last as long as your session (e.g until you close your browser window, or expire automatically after a set amount of time) and are typically used to store basic data during your browsing experience (e.g. the project ID you are viewing). We use web beacons (tracking pixels) and similar technologies to learn if an email has been opened and we may use them to present you with advertising relevant to your interests.
