This Cookie Policy is effective on December 01, 2024.

This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on our website and apps (together, “Thermal Works™” or our “Services”). By accessing or using Thermal Works™, you consent to the use of these technologies as described in this policy. Please do not use Thermal Works™ if you are not comfortable with the ways in which we and the third parties described below use cookies and related technologies.

What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file containing a unique identifier that is placed in the web browser of your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. Cookies and similar technologies (which include pixels, tags, web beacons and software development kits (“SDKs”)) (together “cookies”) enable site operators to recognize your device and collect information from it when you interact with a site. They use this information to understand how the site is being used, remember user preferences and improve users’ browsing experience. Cookies are also used to make the advertising you see online more relevant to your interests.

Who Places Cookies on my Device
Cookies set by the site you visit are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by other parties are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality within the site, such as site analytics, advertising and social media features. The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the site in question and also when it visits certain other sites and/or apps. We do not control how these third parties use your information, which is subject to their own privacy policies. See below for details of the use of third party cookies and similar technologies on Thermal Works™.

What Cookies Does Thermal Works™ Use, and Why?
Thermal Works™ uses both session cookies and persistent cookies:

• ○ We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to Thermal Works™. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser or app after using Thermal Works™.
• ○ We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a long period of time. (For example, if you asked us to keep you signed in, we would use a persistent cookie for that purpose.) Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie.

We use both first and third party cookies to operate, understand and improve Thermal Works™, specifically:

• ○ To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to monitor login, session and status data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in.
• ○ To reUser your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognize your browser and reUser your preferences. For example, we use cookies to reUser your language preferences.
• ○ To carry out analytics and research: We use cookies to understand your use of Thermal Works™ and how we can improve our offerings. For example, we use cookies to track whether you open emails we send you.
• ○ To personalize your experience: We use cookies to personalize your use of Thermal Works™, including to serve you personalized advertising that may better suit your needs.
• ○ To detect fraud, trust and safety, and investigations: We use cookies to keep the Services safe, including to detect and prevent fraud and conduct investigations.

What Third-Party Cookies are Used on Thermal Works™?
A number of third party cookies are set on Thermal Works™, some of which depend on how you use our Services. These cookies, the third parties that set them, the purposes of such cookies and the means by which you can opt out, are listed in the table further below. In general, the following types of third party cookies may be set when you use Thermal Works™:

• ○ Facebook: If you register or sign in using Facebook, a Facebook cookie is set to help track your log-in.
• ○ Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, including Google Analytics cookies, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how Users and visitors access and use Thermal Works™, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage. Learn about how Google uses data from Google Analytics and how to opt out from Google Analytics by following the links in the table below.
• ○ Advertising Cookies: The Services allow third party advertising companies that we work with to use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how you use Thermal Works™ and other sites and services over time. These companies use the information they collect to show you ads they believe will be relevant to you on Thermal Works™ and elsewhere, and to measure how the ads perform.
• ○ Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Users/Collectors: Thermal Works™ Users/Collectors may share content on Thermal Works™ that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content. For example, if a User posts a video from YouTube on Thermal Works™, YouTube may set a cookie when you click to watch the video.
• ○ Pixels: Our advertising partners may use pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user/collector, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our Users interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our Users found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by determining whether the sponsored post prompted Users to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our Users and successful for the advertiser.
• ○ SDKs: We and our partners and service providers include SDKs in the Thermal Works™ apps. SDKs operate like cookies and allow us to understand how our app is used and what actions occur in relation to the app, including when a User signs up or logs in. SDKs are also used for advertising purposes including for measurement, personalization and to create similar audiences to advertise to.
