USE OF COOKIES
Cookies
In cyberspace, cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
Cookies make web surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases and preferences while you’re online. The use of cookies is an industry standard. You’ll find them at most major websites.
We use cookies to help us see which areas are popular and which are not. This helps us to improve and update Programmatic Connect based on such data as total number of users and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.
A cookie allows us to store the personal preferences that you set during each visit to the service, which in turn allows us to speed up your future activities at Programmatic Connect. Similarly, the stores hosted by Programmatic Connect usually use cookies to track which products, services or virtual gifts you’ve chosen to purchase while shopping, if any. Letting cookies do the record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again. If you have registered to access the subscriber-only portion of Programmatic Connect, an identifying cookie will be placed on your computer. During future visits to Programmatic Connect, we will only read and retrieve information that we set in a cookie during an earlier visit to Programmatic Connect.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of Programmatic Connect will not function properly if you do so.
Device ID
A Device ID is a string of numbers and letters that identifies every individual smartphone or tablet in the world. The ID number itself is stored on the mobile device and it can be retrieved by any app that is downloaded and installed. Apps typically retrieve the ID to use it for identification when talking to servers. In the context of mobile advertising, a device ID will be one of two things depending on your operating system. Either is used as the identity which advertisers, marketers and other services will track when looking for a particular type of device: On iOS, a device ID is called the ‘Identity For Advertisers’ (IDFA, or IFA for short). On Android, the device ID is the GPS ADID (or Google Play Services ID for Android). A user is able to access their GPS ADID within the settings menu under ‘Google – Ads,’ as well as reset the ID, and opt-out of ad personalization too.
We use device id to identify mobile users to reveal certain user behavior (which can be aggregated to identify trends) but it also allows us to put users into cohorts based on understood identifiers such as geographic region, or device. We track a user’s Device ID to create a much clearer picture of who they are, and how they behave over time. Can easy to see whether that user looks at your ad, installs your app and then how they use the app. This is because you can track their ID through the process. Testing users for better understanding of a cohort (such as for creative, or ad optimization) also improves due to usage of unique user IDs.
We use device id to help us see which areas are popular and which are not. This helps us to improve and update Programmatic Connect based on such data as total number of users and pages viewed.
