1. Welcome

1.1 Introduction

We're thrilled to have you use Finsweet's Products and Services. This document outlines the Cookie Policy ("Policy") that govern your use of our offerings. 

Finsweet Inc. is the company behind all the awesome Products and Services you're using. When we say "Finsweet," "we," "us," or "our" in this Policy, we’re talking about Finsweet Inc. When we say "you" or "Customer," we mean you - the individual or company using our Products and Services.

By using Finsweet's Products and Services, or accessing our content on any platform, you're agreeing to this Policy, so give them a thorough read. If you're accepting for a company or other legal entity, you're confirming you've got the authority to do so. In that case, "you" means that entity. By accepting this Policy, you're confirming that you have the right to enter into this agreement, either for yourself or on behalf of your company. If you're acting on behalf of a company, you're promising us that you have the authority to bind that company to this Policy.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in our other applicable agreements referenced herein.

1.2 Products and Services

Finsweet’s “Products and Services” include:

• Products, like Wized, Attributes, Client-First, Components, and CMS Bridge 
• Content, like SEO Guide, tutorials, documentation, educational resources, affiliate links, this website (Finsweet.com and any subdomain of Finsweet.com), and YouTube content.
• Tools, like Finsweet Extension, Support Forum, Open Source initiatives, code snippets, and repos

In our Agreement, we may say “Products” or  “Services” to represent Products and Services. We’re always innovating at Finsweet, so this list of Products and Services may change. Any future Products that we create at Finsweet will also be covered under this Policy and the Agreement.

1.3 Applicable terms

When you use Finsweet's Products and Services, you're agreeing to this Policy, as well as our Acceptable Use Policy, Intellectual Property Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other applicable agreements or policies referenced on website’s legal pages (collectively, the "Agreement"). You can find these applicable agreements and policies at Finsweet.com/legal/home. If you're using specific Finsweet Products or Services, additional terms may apply—we'll make sure to let you know about those.

Remember, this Policy apply from the moment you start using our Products and Services until you decide to stop using them or your subscription ends.

Please take the time to read through this Agreement carefully. By using Finsweet's Products and Services, you're indicating that you understand and accept this Policy. If something doesn't make sense or you don't agree with part of it, please don't use our Products and Services until we've had a chance to clarify things for you.

We know that was a lot of legal language, but it's important stuff. Here's what it means in simpler terms:

1. By using our Products and Services, you're agreeing to all our terms.
2. If you don't agree, you can't use our stuff.
3. You're promising us you have the authority to agree to this Policy.
4. If you're agreeing on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the power to do so.

2. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file stored on your computer or mobile device. It functions as a digital identifier that helps us remember your preferences and enhance your experience with Finsweet's Services and Products.

It's important to note that when we refer to "cookies," we're including similar technologies such as localStorage. localStorage is a web storage method that, like cookies, can store data in your browser, but with some additional capabilities.

Cookies and localStorage enable our web server to recognize your device and customize your experience based on your preferences. They assist in efficiently displaying the information you need to use our Services, such as Wized or Attributes, and other features we believe you'll find valuable.

By collecting and storing information about your preferences, we can provide an improved web development experience. For instance, these technologies can remember your settings in Components or maintain your login status in Wized, streamlining your interaction with Finsweet tools.

We want to assure you that neither cookies nor localStorage grant us access to your computer or to any information you haven't explicitly shared with us. At Finsweet, we prioritize both efficient functionality and user privacy.

3. The types of cookies Finsweet uses

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Think of session cookies as temporary notes that disappear when you close your browser or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, are like sticky notes that stay on your device even after you've shut everything down.

Session cookies help us identify your browser uniquely while you're logged in and using our Services. Persistent cookies make it easier for you to log in and use our Services, remembering your preferences so you don't have to set them every time.

4. Cookies on customer projects

Here's the deal: we may add cookies to the projects you create using our Services. The cookies described in this Policy only apply to Finsweet's own marketing and Product pages, not websites that are created using our tools.

You have full control over your projects. If you decide to add features that use cookies (like Google Analytics or a Facebook Like button), that's entirely up to you. We respect your creative freedom and your users' privacy.

5. Third-party cookies

Cookies set by us are called "first-party cookies," while cookies set by others are called "third-party cookies." A third-party cookie can recognize your device both when it visits our Services and when it visits certain other websites or mobile apps.

Finsweet doesn't control how third-party cookies are used, so you should check the website of a third-party cookie provider for more information about how they handle them.

We use both first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes, including analytics, marketing, and advertising. For more information about how you can control advertising or analytics cookies, please see the relevant section below.

We do not track or respond to browser "Do Not Track" requests. We're developers too, and we understand the importance of user choice in privacy matters.

6. Cookies and your Personal Information

Some cookies we use contain personal information (like your username), while others don't. We typically don't treat cookie data as personal information. However, we do treat it as personal information if:

1. Local laws require us to (for example, some places consider IP addresses personal), or
2. We combine cookie data with other personal information.

In these cases, we protect this information just like we do all personal data.

7. Why Finsweet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our Services work better for you, and to help spread the word about our awesome tools to other developers who might find them useful.

Here's a breakdown of how we use cookies:

1. Authentication: These cookies help us show you the right information by personalizing our Services to your account. We want to make sure you're getting a tailored experience.
2. Security: These cookies help us detect any suspicious activity on our Services, keeping your projects and data safe.
3. Preferences and functionality: These cookies remember your settings and preferences. For example, they might remember your preferred layout, views, or settings.
4. Advertising: These cookies allow us to show you relevant ads about Finsweet Products and Services. They help us understand if you've taken an action after seeing one of our ads.
5. Research, performance, and analytics: These cookies help us understand how well our Services are performing and how you're interacting with them. We use these insights to improve our current offerings and develop new features.

8. Managing first-party cookies with your browser settings

If you want to control the first-party cookies on our Services, you can use your browser settings to enable, disable, or delete cookies. Just follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located in the "Help," "Tools," or "Edit" settings).

Keep in mind, though, if you disable cookies, you might not be able to access secure areas of our Services, and some parts of our tools might not work properly. We want you to have the best experience possible while using our Products, and cookies help us deliver that.

Many browser manufacturers provide helpful information and resources about cookie management, including:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera

If you use a different browser, please refer to your browser's documentation. You can also find out more about changing your browser cookie settings at www.allaboutcookies.org.

9. Advertising and/or analytics cookies Finsweet uses and how to control them

We use third-party advertising and analytics tools to help us measure traffic, understand usage trends, and share information about our development tools with people who might find them useful. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect and process data.

The third-party companies we work with have their own privacy policies for handling user data. These policies typically outline how they collect, use, and protect your information. Many of these companies also provide ways for you to opt out of data collection or use for advertising purposes.

If you'd like to learn more about the specific tools we use or how to opt out of data collection, please contact us at [email protected]. We're always happy to provide more detailed information and help you navigate your privacy choices.

Remember, you can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies if you prefer.

If you'd like more information about cookies and targeted advertisements, visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org. You can also opt out of interest-based targeting provided by participating ad servers through the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

On your iPhone, iPad, or Android mobile device, you can change your device settings to control whether you see online interest-based ads.

10. Finsweet's use of log files

We may gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This includes an anonymized internet protocol address, browser type, internet Service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to analyze trends, administer and improve our Services, and track usage of various features within our Products. It helps us make our tools even better for you.

11. Finsweet's use of clear GIFs/web beacons

When you use our Services, we may employ clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) to track online usage patterns. We might also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked.

This information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of our Services. It helps us understand how you're using our tools so we can make them even more efficient and user-friendly.

12. If you don’t agree, stop using our services

Make sure sure you agree to this Policy and every policy that’s part of the Agreement. If you don’t, you should discontinue use of Finsweet’s Products and Services immediately.

If we make any significant changes, we'll notify you by email or by posting a prominent notice on our website before the changes become effective. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically for the latest information on our service policies. Your continued use of Finsweet's Services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you don't agree with the revised Policy, you should discontinue use of our Services.
