We use cookies or similar tools on our sites to improve their performance and your experience. This policy explains how we do this.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can save to your computer or mobile device when you visit a page or site. A cookie will help the site or other sites recognize your device the next time you visit it. Web beacons or other similar files can do the same. We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies perform many different functions. For example, they help us remember your username or preferences, analyze how well our sites are performing, or even allow us to recommend content that we think you will find interesting.

Some cookies contain personal information – for example, if you clicked “Remember Me” when you were logged in, the cookie will remember your username. Most cookies do not collect information that can identify you, but rather collect general information about how users reach and use our sites or what their location is.

What types of cookies does our site use?

Basically, cookies perform 4 different functions:

1. Essential cookies

Some cookies are essential for the functioning of our sites. They allow us to identify users who are registered, as well as those who are our paid subscribers. They ensure that these users can, for example, comment on articles, and that paid subscribers have the necessary level of access to articles and sections on the sites. If a subscribed user decides to block these cookies, they will not be able to access content that is only available to subscribers.

2. Cookies related to site performance

We use other cookies to analyze how visitors use our sites and to monitor our site performance. This allows us to provide you with a high-quality experience by personalizing the content we offer and quickly identifying and fixing problems. For example, we may use cookies to track which pages are the most popular. We may also use cookies to show you articles or services that we think you might find interesting based on how you use the site.

3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences, such as font size and other personal settings. For example, cookies save you the time and effort of entering your username each time you visit our site.

3. Functional cookies

Magniti.com and our advertisers use cookies to show you ads that we believe are relevant to your interests. For example, if you have read several articles about cars on our site or on other sites, a car manufacturer may assume that you are interested in that topic and show you their car ads. You may see these ads on magniti.com and other sites you visit. However, we do not disclose your identity to our advertisers. For behaviorally targeted advertising, we use a service provided by Google Inc. called remarketing. According to their own policy, Google does not collect personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish to be subject to remarketing, you can disable it by changing your settings at this link: http://www.google.com/settings/ads . You can also disable the use of cookies for the purposes of behaviorally targeted advertising by following the instructions on this page: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Does anyone else use cookies on our site?

Advertisers sometimes use their cookies to show you targeted ads. For example, advertisers may use a profile based on the sites you have previously visited to show you more relevant ads when you visit magniti.com. We believe it is useful for our users to see ads that are targeted to their interests.

We use or allow third parties to use cookies on our sites that fall into the four categories mentioned above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to monitor traffic to our sites. Also, when you share an article using social media buttons (e.g. Facebook) on a magniti.com site, the social network that created the button will remember your action.

We may use third-party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, functionality improvement, and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and copyright policy.
