Cookie Policy for PeerPanda

Last updated Apr 16, 2025

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how PeerPanda (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at https://getpeerpanda.com (“Websites”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and forms part of it. By using our Websites, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PeerPanda) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How long do cookies last?

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are 'session cookies', which exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are 'persistent cookies', which survive after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you re-open your browser later. The expiry date of each cookie is included in our detailed cookie list below.

How can I control cookies?

Initial Cookie Consent: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time.

Cookie Preference Center: You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

Browser Controls: You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies via your browser, you may still use our Services though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

What about other tracking technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

Data transfers outside the EEA

Some of our cookie providers may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that such data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws. The mechanisms we use to protect data when it is transferred outside the EEA include contractual commitments imposed on the recipients of such data. These commitments are in line with standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. To learn more about how we protect data transferred outside the EEA, you can contact us as described below.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
