This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how Beyond Communications Ltd (“Beyond Communications,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognise individuals who access our website (“users” or “you”) and interact with the content and ads that are posted on same.

This Policy outlines the types of cookies and other similar technologies used on our website, why we use them and what your rights are to control their use.

For a comprehensive understanding of the types of information that we collect, how we use that information and why we collect certain types of information, please read our Privacy Policy. Capitalised terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings set forth in our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to visit our website or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and other similar technologies for the purposes described in this Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an online service.

They enable us to identify you and remember your preferences so we can enhance your experience on our website.

They also help us propose ads that are relevant to your professional interests.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of reasons. These cookies may be first party cookies (meaning they are supported by Beyond Communications) or third-party cookies (meaning they are hosted by a party other than Beyond Communications, such as Beyond Communications service providers and partners).

Cookies can be used to recognise you when you visit our website or use our services. They allow us to bring you relevant advertising both on and off our website.

We use several different types of cookies on our website, including:

• Essential cookies:Essential cookies facilitate the operation of our website. Without the use of these cookies, portions of our website would not function properly.

• Analytical performance cookies: Analytical performance cookies help us monitor the performance of our website and how users interact with it. These cookies provide us with information that allows us to improve our website and services.
• Functional cookies: Functional cookies are used to remember your preferences on our website and authenticate your identity. For example, we use functional cookies to recognise and save your name and password on our website.
• Flash cookies: When you use a portion of our website that employs macromedia flash player, a small flash cookie may be used. The purpose of using these cookies is to store your flash player preferences and enhance your browsing experience.
• Behavioural advertising cookies:  Beyond Communications and its partners use behavioural advertising cookies to provide you with advertising tailored to your interests when you visit websites on and off our network. Behavioural advertising cookies analyse information about your interests and your browsing history, and provide you with advertisements on and off our network, which matches these interests. Behavioural advertising is based upon your web browsing activity over a period of time – so it’s different than advertising you may see when you’re looking for something online using a search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing, or on the website you may be visiting at a particular time. As an example, you may be doing research on products and services related to data centre virtualisation. If a data centre virtualisation provider is conducting an advertising campaign on our network, as you browse the relevant portions of our site we may propose an advert on one of their solutions.

3. What is Do Not Track (“DNT”)

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, for the internet industry to enable internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings.

The World Wide Web consortium has been working with industry groups, internet browsers, technology companies and regulators, to develop a DNT technology standard.

To date, no standard has been adopted. As such, Beyond Communications does not generally respond to DNT signals.

4. How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Cookies and other ad technology like beacons, pixels and tags, help us propose ads that are relevant to your professional interests. They also help us to provide aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you.

Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third-party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set third-party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads proposed by Beyond Communications may also set third-party cookies.

We also use aggregate data from third parties and data from your activity on our website. Unless you clear these cookies from your browser, we may use this information to:

• provide you with services, publications and information that may be of interest to you;
• deliver or display content or interest-based advertising that matches your professional interests and responsibilities;
• offer opportunities to connect directly with your peers and providers of technologies, goods and services that may be of interest to you; or
• detect and defend against fraud and other risks to protect our members and partners.
