COOKIE POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains
how Intune Bytes (“Company,” “we,”
“us,” and “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when
you visit our website at
https://intunebytes.com
(“Website“). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your
rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use
cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other
information.
What are
cookies?
Cookies are small data
files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by
website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide
reporting information.
Cookies set by the website
owner (in this case, Intune Bytes ) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set
by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable
third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive
content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when
it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use
cookies?

How can I control
cookies?
You have the right to
decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in
the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you
accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with
services.
The Cookie Consent Manager
can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use
our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also
set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
The specific types of
first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the
table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary
depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:
What about other
tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only
way to
recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web
beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a
unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website
. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another,
to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an
online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the
success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to
function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared
Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared
Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud
prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the
settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in
the Website Storage Settings
Panel. You can also control Flash
Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings
Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for
example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to
prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and
later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the
time).
Please note that setting
the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of
some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or
online content.
Do you serve
targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve
advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in.
They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish
this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order
to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information
collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other
details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
How often will you
update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from
time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational,
legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about
our use of cookies and related technologies.
