Last Updated: 22 January 2025
Introduction
This Cookie Notice explains how shuuka.com, a company based in Zürich, Switzerland ("shuuka.com", “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including SDKs (collectively, “cookies”) on our website and applications (“Platform”), or when you interact with a shuuka.com user’s profile (“User Profile”). It clarifies what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control our use of them.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. Website operators use cookies for various reasons, such as enabling websites to function correctly, providing customized content and ads, and creating analytics.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, shuuka.com) are called “first-party cookies.” Only shuuka.com can access the first-party cookies it sets. Cookies set by parties other than shuuka.com are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies allow third-party features (such as ads, interactive content, and social sharing) to be provided through a website. These third-party cookies can recognize your device across various websites that have partnered with them.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use both first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. Some cookies are technically essential for our Platform to function correctly; we refer to these as "essential" cookies. Other cookies are used for analytics, to personalize and improve your experience, and to present more relevant content and ads.
In addition to cookies used by shuuka.com, shuuka.com Users can configure their profiles to set both first and third-party cookies for their own independent purposes.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies we use on our Platform, and the purposes they fulfill are detailed in our cookie consent tool, which you can access through our cookie preference settings. This tool also describes the third-party cookies that shuuka.com users may use on their User Profiles and the purposes for their use.
Other Tracking Technologies
Besides cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) on our Platform. These are small graphic files that include unique identifiers, enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our Platform or opened an email we sent. This allows us to monitor traffic patterns, communicate with cookies, track if you came to our Platform from an online ad, improve site performance and measure the effectiveness of email marketing. These technologies often rely on cookies to function, so disabling cookies can impair their function.
How Can You Control Cookies?
In some regions, including those governed by EU or UK law, you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access by clicking "Cookie Preferences" (make sure to link this to your cookie preferences page). You can separately control whether to accept or reject cookies set by shuuka.com users on their User Profiles.
You can also manage cookies through your web browser settings. If you choose to reject cookies, you can still use our website, but access to some features or sections may be limited.
Updates to This Cookie Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice occasionally to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please review this Cookie Notice periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and similar technologies. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this notice indicates when it was last revised.
