1. Introduction
Our website https://pillar.vc/playlist, and other Pillar websites (collectively “the website”) uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged. In the document below we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.
2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or another device. A cookie itself does not contain or collect information. However, when it is read by a server via a web browser it can help a website deliver a more user-friendly service by, for example, remembering previous account details.
3. Consent
Depending upon where you are accessing our website from, we may show you a pop-up with an explanation about cookies when you access our website for the first time. For cookies that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of our website, we may ask for your consent when you first visit our website. By clicking “Accept”, you consent to us using the categories of cookies and plug-ins you selected in the pop-up, as described in this cookie statement. You can disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly.
4. Types of Cookies
The following is a list of the types of cookies we or our third party service providers might collect.
Technical or functional cookies
Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, the products or services you are interested in. (We may place these cookies without your consent.)
Analytical cookies
We use analytical cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. With these analytical cookies we get insights in the usage of our website. We ask your permission to place analytical cookies.
Advertising cookies
We do not use advertising cookies. Some of our service providers may place cookies. See Placed Cookies below for more information about cookies placed by our service providers.
Social media buttons
On our website we have included buttons for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote webpages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These buttons work using pieces of code coming from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn themselves. This code places cookies. These social media buttons also can store and process certain information, so a personalized advertisement can be shown to you.
Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved is anonymized as much as possible. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are located in the United States.
