They enable core  website functions, such as authentication, security, network management  and accessibility. You may be able to disable these by changing your  browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.
• Performance and operation cookies and tags are used by us and our service providers to manage our websites. These activities may include collecting analytics about visitors to our website and collecting information about website usage. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the website. These cookies help us gather data to optimize our website’s performance.

• Marketing and personalization cookies are used to enable social sharing and to deliver interest-based ads to you online.  

• Social media cookies and tags used by us and social media platforms to enable users of the platforms to share content across our sites. We also work with social media platforms to deliver ads to you when you use these platforms. This targeting is done by the platform under its own terms of use.
• Advertising cookies and tags used by us, our service providers and third parties to personalize the ads delivered to you on our site and on other sites. These cookies collect data about your online activity and allow ads to be displayed that may be of relevant interest to you. These cookies also record which ads you have seen and whether you engaged with the ad. These cookies help make sure that the ads you see are valuable to you and not repetitive.

While we do not give any personally identifiable information to the third-party advertising companies, we may place third parties’ cookies and tags when you visit a Stockbacking website. 

This practice allows these third parties to collect information from you using these technologies on our websites. The information they collect is subject to their own privacy policies.

Uses of cookies can vary by country or state. More information is provided in the supplemental privacy notices posted in the Privacy Center or in the relevant website or app.

Social media and platforms

Our websites may enable you to interact with us and others via social media platforms. This functionality is enabled using social media cookies and tags. For example, some Stockbacking websites allow you to sign in using social media platform credentials. Please read the privacy statements provided by your social media platforms to understand how they use your information and to manage your choices.

We may display interest-based ads to you when you are using social media platforms. These platforms allow us to personalize the ads that we display to you. To enable delivery of these ads, we convert your email address into a unique number. The platforms also convert their user emails into unique numbers using the same process. This allows the records to be matched without any exchange of data elements that can identify you on their own. The platforms perform the matching as a service provider to Stockbacking, and they do not retain or use the file that we send them for their own purposes. This process allows the platform to deliver our ads to our customers on the platform. The platforms may gain insights about individuals who respond to the ads we serve.

We may also use device-related information to associate you with different devices that you may use, including for fraud-protection purposes and to better target advertising. In many cases, you can reset your device’s advertising ID. Both Android and iOS devices enable you to reset your device identifier under the “settings” menu.
