Cookie Policy

Understanding Cookies

This Cookie Policy explains how RewardSift ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our services. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and use personal data.

By continuing to browse or use our website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You have the right to manage your cookie preferences, and we provide information below on how to do so.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other electronic device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the website domain, and some digits and numbers. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing history.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and services. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, authentication, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain features of our services cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes.

Examples include: session cookies for maintaining your logged-in state, security cookies for fraud prevention, and load balancing cookies for distributing traffic across our servers.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how much time users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This helps us improve the performance and design of our website.

We use analytics services to understand user behavior, track conversion rates, and measure the effectiveness of our features. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as saving your offer preferences or remembering your search filters.

The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and track advertising campaign performance. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers.

These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. They do not store directly identifiable personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by RewardSift when you visit our website. We use these cookies to provide essential functionality, remember your preferences, and analyze how you use our services to improve user experience.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than RewardSift. We work with trusted third-party service providers who may set cookies on our website to help us deliver better services. These include:

• Analytics Providers: To help us understand how users interact with our website
• Advertising Networks: To deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness
• Social Media Platforms: To enable social sharing functionality
• Payment Processors: To facilitate secure payment transactions

We carefully select our third-party partners and require them to use cookies responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your state during a browsing session, such as keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are stored until they expire or you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits and to recognize you as a returning user.

We use persistent cookies with various expiration periods, typically ranging from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose.

Other Tracking Technologies

Web Beacons and Pixels

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. They are used to track user behavior, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and gather analytics data.

Unlike cookies, which are stored on your device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails.

Local Storage

We may use local storage technologies such as HTML5 local storage and IndexedDB to store data locally on your device. This allows us to provide features such as offline functionality and faster page loading times.

Local storage data persists after you close your browser and can only be deleted manually through your browser settings.

Software Development Kits (SDKs)

In our mobile applications, we may use third-party SDKs that collect device and usage information. These SDKs function similarly to cookies in web browsers and help us provide and improve our mobile services.

Cookie Duration and Retention

Different cookies have different lifespans:

• Essential cookies: Typically expire when you close your browser or after a short period (hours to days)
• Functionality cookies: May persist for several months to remember your preferences
• Analytics cookies: Usually persist for 1-2 years to track long-term usage patterns
• Advertising cookies: Typically persist for several months to a year

We regularly review and minimize cookie retention periods to align with data protection principles.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies only
• Clear cookies when you close your browser
• Receive notifications when cookies are set

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your user experience and limit functionality of our services.

Mobile Device Identifiers

You can limit or disable mobile identifier tracking through your device settings:

• iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking (disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track")
• Android: Settings > Google > Ads (enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization")

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals. We respect your privacy choices and provide multiple ways to control cookies and tracking as described in this policy.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other operational needs. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, providing additional notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
