TowUp Cookie Policy

Learn about how we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our platform.

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how TowUp ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our platform. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

This policy applies to all users within the United States. TowUp services are only available to users located within the United States.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, TowUp) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our platform to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our platform. Third parties serve cookies through our platform for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our platform and the purposes they perform are described below.

6. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by following the instructions below:

Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our platform though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

Specific Cookie Opt-Out: For performance/analytics cookies, we use providers such as Google Analytics. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Industry Opt-Out Tools: You can also opt out of some third-party cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative's Opt-Out Tool (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices Tool (https://optout.aboutads.info/).

Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers have a 'Do Not Track' feature that sends signals to websites you visit. As there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, our platform does not currently respond to such signals.

7. Data Retention for Cookies

The data collected via cookies will be retained for different periods depending on the type of cookie:

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies have expiration dates set by the cookie provider (ranging from hours to years)
  • Analytics data is retained according to our data retention policy, generally for up to 26 months

When a cookie expires, the data collected by that cookie is no longer accessible.
