Our Stance Against Most Cookies - An Island Away From The Distraction Economy
We refuse to be another cog in the machine that swings human minds away from their dreams and right into the claws of drifting and distraction. We won't serve you ads for high-end sunglasses between paragraphs about inner peace and personal freedom.
Our commitment to user privacy includes refraining from cross-site tracking and targeted advertising practices.
This approach isn't the easy road, but it aligns with our mission: to empower you without falling prey to the addictive infrastructure of the smartphone ecosystem.
Here's our approach to privacy:
We use only essential cookies — the bare minimum for our platform to function. These cookies are small pieces of encrypted data that enable basic features like keeping you logged in or remembering your location, currency and language preferences.
NO marketing or tracking cookies — we reject the common practice of plugging into the vast data-spying network of ad services, search engines and social media platforms. We avoid all such cookies with UNWAVERING CONVICTION.
1. Introduction
This document informs Users about the technologies that help the TELEDIPITY APP achieve the purposes described below (the Teledipity application and website - https://www.teledipity.com - both operate under the name TELEDIPITY APP).
Such technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User's device as they interact with the TELEDIPITY APP.
For simplicity, all such technologies are defined as "Trackers" within this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate. For example, while Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile apps.
For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is only used where it is specifically meant to indicate that particular type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Whenever consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.
The Teledipity APP uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers). The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifetime specification as well as any other relevant information — such as the presence of other Trackers — in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.
2. Activities Strictly Necessary for the Operation of the TELEDIPITY APP and Delivery of the Service
The TELEDIPITY APP uses so-called “technical” Cookies and other similar Trackers to carry out activities that are strictly necessary for the operation or delivery of the Service.
These trackers are:
- Functional: They help our app work better for you.
- Secure: All information in the cookie is encrypted for your protection.
- Private: We do not share any information from this cookie with third parties.
These trackers remember important information to make your use of the app smoother and more personalized. They store:
- Your login information, so you don't have to sign in every time you visit.
- Your preferences for how content is displayed in the app.
- Your language and currency choices.
These trackers do not:
- Track your activities on other websites.
- Share your information with other companies.
- Store sensitive personal information.
3. Other Activities Involving the Use of Trackers
Use of Local Storage for Cookie Notice PreferencesOur website uses local storage, a web storage technology, to remember whether you have viewed our cookie notice. This is done to improve your user experience by avoiding repeated displays of the notice on subsequent visits.
What is Local Storage?
Local storage is a feature in browsers that allows websites to store small amounts of data directly in your browser. Unlike cookies, data in local storage is not sent to the server with each request.
How We Use Local Storage
We use local storage for the following specific purpose:
Cookie Notice Preference: When you acknowledge our cookie notice by clicking the "I Value My Digital Freedom" button, we store a simple flag in your browser's local storage. This flag tells us not to display the notice again on your future visits.
Data Stored
The only information we store in local storage related to the cookie notice is a boolean value (true/false) indicating whether you have viewed and acknowledged the notice.
Duration of Storage
The local storage data remains in your browser until you clear your browser data or use private/incognito browsing mode. It does not expire automatically.
No Personal Information
We do not store any personal information or tracking data in local storage. The cookie notice preference is not linked to any identifier or other data about you.
Your Control
You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings. This will cause the cookie notice to reappear on your next visit.
Not Essential for Functionality
This use of local storage is not essential for the core functionality of our website. If local storage is not available or is cleared, the only impact will be that you might see the cookie notice more than once.
No Data Sharing
The information stored in local storage is only used on our website and is not shared with or accessible to any third parties.
For more information about our data practices, please refer to our full Privacy Policy.
Measurement
The TELEDIPITY APP does not use browser cookies to measure traffic and analyze User behaviour to improve the Service. More information about services that enable the Owner to monitor and analyze web traffic and keep track of User behavior is available in our Privacy Notice.
Advertising and Third-Party Tracking
The TELEDIPITY APP does not currently engage third-party service providers to display advertisements or track user behavior across different websites through the use of cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies. Our commitment to user privacy includes refraining from cross-site tracking and targeted advertising practices.
Future Changes: If our practices regarding advertising or user tracking change in the future, we commit to:
- Providing advance notice to all users through email and in-app notifications.
- Updating our privacy policy to reflect these changes in detail.
- Obtaining necessary consents in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
We believe in maintaining transparent communication about our data practices. Users can always refer to our current privacy policy for the most up-to-date information on how we handle personal data and respect user privacy.
4. How to Manage Preferences and Provide or Withdraw Consent on This Website
Whenever the use of Trackers is based on consent, users can provide or withdraw such consent by setting or updating their preferences via the relevant privacy choices panel available on this Website.
5. How to Control or Delete Cookies and Similar Technologies via Your Device Settings
Users may use their own browser settings to control or delete the use of trackers. The browser settings, however, do not allow granular control of consent by category.
Users can, for example, find information about how to manage Cookies in the most commonly used browsers at the following addresses:
Teledipity stands strong against targeting cookies and pixels for third party interest-based advertisement. These cookies are not part of the Teledipity infrastructure or experience.
6. Consequences of Denying the Use of Trackers
Users are free to decide whether or not to allow the use of Trackers. However, please note that Trackers help this Website to provide a better experience and advanced functionalities to Users (in line with the purposes outlined in this document). Therefore, if the User chooses to block the use of Trackers, the Owner may be unable to provide related features.
