This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies, as well as the options you have to manage them.
What are cookies and how does scrapespider use them?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (e.g., computer or smartphone) when you visit the site.
Browsers support cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) so that a website like scrapespider can remember information about your visit and use it to improve your experience and create aggregated and anonymous statistics about site usage. In this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to both cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (called "first-party cookies") or by a third party, such as those providing analytics, advertising, or interactive content services on the site ("third-party cookies").
In addition to using cookies on our websites, we may also transmit our cookies (in particular, our advertising pixel) on third-party websites operated by advertisers using scrapespider's advertising technology.
Our first-party cookies include strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies, analytics/performance cookies, and advertising-related cookies.
Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our services and cannot be disabled in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as intended.
These include:
Functional: These cookies enable scrapespider to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. If you block these cookies, some or all of these features may not work properly.
Analytics and Performance: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site.
Advertising: We use these cookies to deliver advertisements, make them more relevant and meaningful to users, and track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, both on our services and on other websites. Our third-party advertising partners may use these cookies to build a profile of your interests and deliver relevant ads on third-party sites.
Third-Party Cookies: scrapespider services also include third-party cookies from partners we work with directly or indirectly. Many of these third parties are companies that work with us or advertisers who advertise on scrapespider to target ads or measure campaign results.
Third-Party Sites: Third parties advertising on scrapespider may use our advertising technology, including our advertising pixel, on their sites. We may send advertising cookies when you visit their sites to measure the effectiveness of ads on scrapespider and to show you more relevant ads on our site. The placement of these cookies is controlled by third-party sites.
