Online Tracking and Advertising
How We Use Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies and How to Disable These Technologies
We, and any third parties duly appointed / authorised by us to provide content, advertising, or functionality
or measure and analyse advertisement performance on our Website (collectively, “Authorised Third Parties”),
may use cookies, web beacons, mobile advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to facilitate
administration and navigation, to better understand and improve our Website, to determine and/or improve
the advertising shown to you here or within the online sites operated and/or managed by Bacfree, and to
provide you with a customised online experience.
Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer when you visit the Website. Cookies may
be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be
recognised as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more sites.
Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:
Cookies can remember your sign-in credentials so you do not have to enter those credentials each
time you visit a Website.
Cookies can help us and the Authorised Third Parties understand which parts of our Website are
the most popular because they help us see which pages and features users access and how much
time they spend on the pages. By studying this kind of information, we are better able to adapt our
Website and provide you with a better experience.
Cookies help us and the Authorised Third Parties understand which advertisements you have seen
so that you do not receive the same advertisement each time you visit our Website.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so or to notify the
user when a cookie is being sent. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to
learn how to disable cookies. If you disable browser cookies or flash cookies, it may interfere with
the proper functioning of our Website.
Local Storage & Other Tracking Technologies
We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects
(also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and Hypertext Mark-up Language revision 5 (HTML5) local
storage, in connection with our Website. We also may use unique identifiers associated with your
device, such as mobile advertising identifiers. These technologies are similar to the cookies
discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information
about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts
of your device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to control them using standard
browser tools and settings. For HTML5 local storage, the method for disabling HTML5 will vary
depending on your browser. For Flash cookies, information about disabling or deleting information
contained in Flash cookies can be found here.
Additional Choices with Respect to Targeted Advertising
As described above, we and the Authorised Third Parties may use cookies and other tracking
technologies to facilitate serving relevant advertisements to you. For example, these technologies
help us determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before, tailor advertisements
to you if you have visited our Website before, and avoid sending you duplicate advertisements. You
can learn more about certain types of targeted advertising by visiting our Audience Interest
Marketing (AIM) page.
Due to differences between using apps and websites on mobile devices, you may need to take
additional steps to disable tracking technologies in mobile applications. Many mobile devices allow
you to opt-out of targeted advertising for mobile applications using the settings within the mobile
application or your mobile device. For more information, please check your mobile settings. You
also may uninstall our applications using the standard uninstall process available on your mobile
device or app marketplace.

For the internet, unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely

unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
