Programa Cookie Policy

Last Updated: August 25, 2024

Information about how Programa uses Cookies

This policy describes how Programa uses cookies. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and when providing our services. The purpose of this policy is to provide you, a user of Programa's services, with clear information about the purposes for which Programa uses cookies and the choices you have when it comes to managing your cookie settings. We encourage you to read it carefully.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text which are downloaded to your device, for example, when you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow Programa and our partners to uniquely recognise your device and support the continuity of your experience, for example by helping us to understand your preferences or past actions. You can find more general information about cookies here: All About Cookies

How do we use cookies?

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your user experience. They can also help to ensure that ads you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Programa uses two main categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are set by Programa or a third party on our behalf, and are essential to enable you to use the features of our Services, such as technically delivering content or product experiences, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, making payments or filling in forms. Without these cookies, our Services cannot be provided so you cannot decline them.

Optional Cookies

Optional cookies may be 'first party cookies' or 'third party cookies'. First party cookies set directly by Programa or by a third party at our request. Third party cookies are set directly by a third party or set by Programa at the request of a third party, such as our analytics or advertising service providers.

Cookie Type	Purpose
Strictly Necessary Cookies	These cookies are essential in order to enable you to use the features of our Services, such as technically delivering content, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, making payments or filling in forms. Without these cookies, our Services cannot be provided so you cannot decline them.
Performance Cookies	Programa is dedicated to optimising your user experience and we use many tools to help us improve our website and your experience in using Programa. To this end, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how and when you use our website and platform services. These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Services. For example, these cookies allow us to count visits to our website and to understand how visitors found the website. Web analytics that use cookies to gather data to enhance the performance of a website fall into this category. For example, they may be used for testing designs and ensuring a consistent look and feel is maintained for the user. We may also obtain information from our email or other communications we send to you, including whether you opened or forwarded or clicked on any of its content. This information tells us about our communication effectiveness and helps us ensure that we're delivering information that you find interesting. This category does not include cookies used for behavioural or interest-based targeted advertising networks.
Functional Cookies	These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make such as your user name or the region you are in. They help us to provide you with enhanced or personal features and content. For example, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to parts of web pages that you can customise. These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. If you do not allow these cookies then some of the choices you have made on previous visits to our Services will not be saved.
Targeting or advertising Cookies	These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and to understand your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertisements Programa shares. These cookies log that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Additionally, Programa may share limited data with other platforms to market Programa on or via those other platforms. If you do not allow these cookies you will still experience advertising but it will be less tailored to you.

Options for managing cookies and interest-based ads

Web Browser Settings

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser. Please note that if you set your browser to refuse cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of the Programa website. This can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Mobile Identifiers

On your mobile device, your operating system may provide you with additional options to opt out of interest based advertising or to otherwise reset your mobile identifiers. For example, you may use the 'Allow Apps to Request to Track' setting (on iOS devices) or the 'Opt out of Interest-Based Ads' setting (on Android devices). These settings allow you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads tailored to your interests.

Interest-Based Advertising

If you opt-out of receiving interest-based ads, Programa will not share your information with third party advertising partners or use information received by them to show you interest-based ads. You may still receive ads when using the Services based on your Programa registration information and your real-time usage of Programa, but the ads may be less relevant to you. Certain tailored advertisements that we, or a service provider acting on our behalf, display to you may include the 'Ad Choices' icon or another mechanism to opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements. You may visit www.aboutads.info to:

learn more about the collection and use of information about your online activities for interest based advertising; or
opt out of having your data used for interest based advertising by Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) participating companies.

Updates to this Policy

We may occasionally make changes to this policy. When we make material changes to this policy, we'll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may display a prominent notice within the Programa Services or send you an email.
