“Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognise your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people.
You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.
Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your browser or device, when you click on ads that appear on our Services. Also, if you click on a link to a third party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we shall not be responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services, and those third parties may not honor “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device and we shall not be responsible/liable if that is the case.
We may use this data to customise content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns.

Where you have given you permission to share your personal data, we may do so on a one-off basis or continuously on a need to basis until you revoke our rights to do so.
When you revoke our rights to transmit your Personal Data to third Parties, we will do so in the briefest delay possible.
Tikado acts as Data Controller for all Personal Data we collect from or provided by you. However, When you agree to send your Personal Data to Third Parties, we are neither responsible nor liable for their use of your Personal Data. The third party’s Privacy Policy and other related terms will apply.
We however will continue to act as Data Controller for all your Personal Data still stored, controlled and managed by us.

These analytics Services may collect and retain some information about you. For instance, Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you use the Services, but not your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your Personal Data.
