Last updated: january 2023
This Cookies Policy applies always when you use or see our Platform. (“Platform”) embraces any services provided by Benchrates. Where we refer to “Benchrates”, “we” or “us” in this Cookies Policy, we mean Benchrates Limited.
Our Platform uses cookies and other tracking technologies like many websites and apps for example pixels and local storage. These technologies give us opportunities to store information or get access to information stored on your device to enable particular features and to recognize your device among others. Tracking technologies are used by most apps to recognise that a device is the same as one used previously and to understand some of its attributes so that we can show you advertising, rate the performance of ads, and to upgrade your experience. This policy describes how we use these technologies, and the choices you have to control them. Unless otherwise stated in this policy, our Privacy Policy applies to the data we collect.

What technologies we use
〉Our Platform uses the following technologies:
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that give us and our service providers and partners an opportunity to identify your browser or device for different purposes, including those described above. Cookies usually work by assigning a unique number to your device and are stored on your browser by the websites that you view and also as third party service providers and partners to those websites.
Cookies can store on your computer or mobile device for different time. Some cookies are "session cookies", it means that they store only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies cannot be used to track your browser events to other websites.
Other cookies are "persistent cookies", it means that they store after your browser is closed. Most persistent cookies are set to automatically expire after a defined duration (for example, a few days, weeks or months). When you return to that website (or visit other websites that use the same cookies) the website provider or its service providers can recognise the persistent cookies they have set and recognise your device.
Local Storage. Local storage files are created by apps and websites to store information locally on your device. They are very similar to cookies, but can have some different properties (for example, local storage can be used to store more information and can be stored in a different location on your device to cookies). Local storage is usually used to speed up apps and sites and store your preferences.
Application Programmable Interface (API). An API is a piece of software which helps two or more applications to interact. We use them to communicate between us and our service providers.
Pixels. Pixels are small 1 pixel x 1 pixel invisible image files that are embedded in some website pages. They can be used to collect information about your visit to that website page.
When you open a website page with an embedded pixel, the page will automatically run small code that downloads the 1x1 image file to your device. At the same time, the code also passes some information about your device and your events on the website. Your preferences in the website can then be saved and used for analytics or advertising purposes.
