Cookies and similar technologies

Below is information about how TIMU, LLC (“we”, “us”, “our” , "TIMU Spaces" or “TIMU”) uses cookies and other similar technology on our online workplace collaboration services, websites, and client software (“Services”). If you continue using the Services without updating your Cookie Settings, we will continue to place cookies on your device. See our Privacy Policy for more details in addition to this Cookie Policy.

We may place cookies and other similar technology on your device (including mobile device) when you access the Services. We may also collect the following information from your device through those cookies or similar technology: your unique device identifier, IP address, information about your device’s operating system, mobile carrier and your location information (to the extent permissible under applicable law). You have the option to control the use of cookies through your browser and through the “Cookie Settings” presented as part of the cookie notice.

What are cookies and why do we use them?
‍Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies do a lot of different jobs, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can also help to ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Most web browsers are built to automatically accept cookies, but also provide a method to control their use – such as blocking or deleting cookies.

Do we use third party cookies and analytics?

Some cookies we use are provided by third parties, such as Google to provide us with web analytics and intelligence about our Services. These third parties use programming code to collect information about your interaction with our Services, such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and how long you use our Services. This code is only active while you are on a TIMU webpage. Google Analytics, for example, uses cookies to track your interactions with our Services. Google collects information and reports it to us, without identifying individual users. This information helps us improve our Services so that we can better serve users. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

‍What non-cookie tracking technologies do we use?
We also use pixels. A pixel is a small piece of code that can be embedded on webpages and emails. We use pixels or other similar technologies to learn how you interact with our webpages and emails. Pixels do not place information on your device, but they may work in conjunction with cookies to monitor website activity. The information provided below about cookies also applies to pixels and similar technologies.

‍What cookies do we use?
The cookies used on TIMU sites have been categorized on the basis of the categories found in the ICC UK Cookie guide issued in April 2012. Within these categories, cookies are classified as either session or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and once you close the browser window, they are deleted from your device. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period and are used by the Services to recognize your device when you return. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org. Regarding the cookies that we use, it is important to note that some cookies may not be used in all jurisdictions where we maintain a website. A list of the four categories of cookies that we use, along with some examples of each are provided below.‍‍

Four categories of cookies used by TIMU

Strictly Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Services and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of the Services. Without these cookies, the Services you have asked for cannot be provided.

The following is an example of a Strictly Necessary cookie: Session Management cookie – this is a general purpose platform cookie used to maintain an anonymized user session by the server that expires when you leave the Services.

‍Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Services, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from webpages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is anonymous and used only to improve how the Services work. If you do not allow the use of these cookies, we will not be able to monitor and optimize the performance of the Services.

The following is an example of a Performance cookie: Web Traffic cookie – this cookie is included on each page of our Services and is used to calculate visitor, session and campaign data for analytics reports.

‍Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide more enhanced, personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local information or news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other customizable parts of webpages. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. We may use information collected from these cookies to identify user behavior and to serve content and offers based on your profile. In some cases, we pass this information on to others within our organization for marketing or analysis purposes. In most cases we will not be able to track individuals by name; only if a user is a known user will we associate the cookie information with a named individual. If you do not allow the use of these cookies, personalization or customization features driven by your preferences, choices or interests will be impacted.

These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. They don’t gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remembering where you’ve been on the Internet outside our Services.

The following is an example of a Functionality cookie: Known Visitor cookie – this cookie is a unique identifier given to each known user to our Services, used to serve the user content and offers based on his or her profile. This cookie is also used for analysis and marketing purposes

‍Targeting cookies
These cookies are used to (1) deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests; (2) limit the number of times you see an advertisement; (3) help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign; and (4) understand people’s behavior after they view an advertisement. They are usually placed on behalf of advertising networks with the site operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a site and quite often they will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. If you do not permit the use of these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising from TIMU.

At TIMU, we do not have third-party advertising on our Services, so we do not use Targeting cookies for advertising, but we may use them for gathering analytics and intelligence about the Services. Targeting cookies may also be used on third party websites and third parties may use them on our Services as follows:

Social media sites – Third-party social media sites may log information about you. This may include activities such as when you click an ‘Add This’ or ‘Like’ button for a social media site while on our Services. We do not control such sites or their activities. You may be able to find information about social media sites on the sites themselves. We recommend you read the terms of use and privacy policy of such sites before using them.

TIMU advertisements on non-TIMU sites – Cookies may be placed on non-TIMU sites so that when you click on a TIMU advertisement located on these sites, TIMU is provided with this information to enable us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

Non-cookie technologies – As discussed above, we also employ technologies that perform similar functions to cookies, but may not respond to browser settings intended for use with cookies. These include web beacons and other similar technologies. We may use reputable third parties to gather and provide us with information about our Services and advertising audiences and to deliver targeted advertisements on third party sites. These third parties will only use anonymous identifiers and have no way of associating these identifiers with identifiable users.

Targeted email
We send emails to individuals with whom we want to develop or maintain a relationship. Our targeted email messages typically include web beacons, cookies, and similar technologies that allow us to know whether you open, read, or delete the message, and links you may click. When you click a link to our website in an email you receive from TIMU, we will also use a cookie to log what pages you view and what content you download from our website, even if you are not registered at or signed into our website.

Combining and analyzing personal data

We may combine data obtained from publicly available sources with data that we have gathered through email, website, and personal interactions with you. We combine this data to better assess your experience with the TIMU Services and to perform the other activities described throughout our Privacy Policy.
