USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Karting Coach uses cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, for performance and analytics, and to improve our Content and Services. We also use cookies and similar technologies for purposes of marketing and advertising. In those jurisdictions that require it, we allow the data subject to give explicit permission or to deny the use of certain categories of cookies.
A “cookie” is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to the server (for example, when requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie). The purpose of cookies is to remember the browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to track Personal Data previously entered by a user . Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them, and how to remove them. Cookies can remember login information, preferences, and similar information.
Cookies, as well as other tracking technologies, such as HTML5 local storage, and Local Shared Objects (such as “Flash” cookies), and similar mechanisms, may record information such as a unique identifier, information you enter in a form, IP address, and other categories of data. We may also use web beacons or “pixels,” and in certain circumstances may collect IP address, screen resolution and browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, dates and times that our Site is accessed, and other categories of data.

Please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, certain parts of the Services may not function correctly.

INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
We may disclose various types of information for purposes of interest-based advertising, including for third-party interest-based advertising. Interest-based advertising is advertising that is targeted to you based on your web browsing and app usage over time and across websites or applications. Our advertising practices may also include the use of Personal Data to create de-identified audience segments that can be used for targeted marketing and interest-based advertising on the Site as well as third party services and platforms, mobile apps, and/or websites. Prior to use, the segments are de-identified so that they will not identify You personally.
You have the option to restrict the use of information for interest-based advertising and to opt-out of receiving interest-based ads. Depending on from where you access the Services, you may also be asked to consent to our use of cookies, including advertising cookies. The opt-outs for interest-based advertising require that strictly necessary cookies are not blocked by the settings in your web browser. We support the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance in the U.S., the Canadian Digital Advertising Alliance in Canada, and the European Digital Advertising Alliance in the EU. If you live in the United States, Canada, or the European Union, you can visit Ad Choices (US), Your Ad Choices (Canada), or Your Online Choices (EU) to find a convenient place to opt-out of interest-based advertising with participating entities for each region. These websites also provide detailed information about how interest-based advertising works. Opting out does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising from us, or when you use the Internet. It just means that the data collected from our website will not be used for interest-based advertising and that the advertising you see displayed on websites will not be customized to your interests.
DO-NOT-TRACK
Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a “flag” or signal that an Internet user may activate in the user’s browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to be “tracked” by third-parties as defined by the initiative. The online community has not agreed on what actions, if any, should be taken by the websites that receive the “do not track” signal, and therefore Do-Not-Track is not yet standardized. Please note that Karting Coach does not alter its behavior or use practices when we receive a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
SOCIAL NETWORK WIDGETS
Our Platform may include social network sharing widgets that may provide information to their associated social networks or third parties about your interactions with the Services, even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-in or widget. Information may be transmitted from your browser and may include an identifier assigned by the social network or third party, information about your browser type, operating system, device type, IP address, and the URL of the web page where widget appears. If you use social network tools or visit social networking sites, we encourage you to read their privacy disclosures, to learn what information they collect, use, and share.
