This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains that we believe in being open and clear about how we use your information. In the spirit of transparency, this Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website. This cookie policy applies to any schooped.com product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.
SchooPed uses cookies, tags and other technologies when you use the SchooPed website or mobile site (collectively "the services"). Cookies are used to ensure everyone has their best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy. If you prefer not to receive cookies or web beacons, then you should stop using our site, or consult your browsing and third-party cookie settings as described below.
Cookies are small pieces of text stored by a website you visit in your browser and subsequently sent by your web browser in every request to the website. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Site or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Site more useful to you. Essentially, cookies are a user’s identification card for the SchooPed servers. Cookies allow SchooPed to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience on our site. Web beacons, tags and scripts may be used in the Websites or in emails to help us to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. We may analyze or perform analysis based on the use of these technologies and generate reports on an individual and aggregated basis.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to SchooPed or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by SchooPed when you return to our site or a partner site that uses our services. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
When you visit our Website, we may place a number of cookies in your browser. These are known as First Party Cookies and are required to hold session information as you navigate from page to page within the website. For example, we use cookies on our Website to understand visitor and user preferences, improve their experience, and track and analyze usage, navigational and other statistical information. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring customized features to you. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you elect not to activate the cookie or to later disable cookies, you may still visit our Website, but your ability to use some features or areas of the Website may be limited. We may use any of the following categories of cookies on the Website as detailed below. Each cookie falls within one of the four following categories:

Essential Cookies |
Essential cookies (First Party Cookies) are sometimes called "strictly necessary" as without them we cannot provide many services that you need on the Website. For example, essential cookies help remember your preferences as you move around the Website. Essential cookies also keep you logged in into a website. Without them the login functionality would not work. |

Preference & Functionality Cookies |
During your visit to the Website, cookies are used to remember information you have entered or choices you make (such as your username) on the Website. They also store your preferences when personalizing the Website to optimize your use of SchooPed. These preferences are remembered, through the use of the persistent cookies, and the next time you visit the Websites you will not have to set them again.

Analytics & Customization Cookies |
These cookies track information about visits to the SchooPed website so that we can make improvements and report our performance. For example: analyze visitor and user behavior so as to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. They collect information about how visitors use the Website, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long a user stays on the Website. We might also use analytics cookies to test new ads, pages, or features to see how users react to them. |
We use cookies on our website and mobile site. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us which helps us identify you more quickly when you return. Cookies help us to determine which pages or information you find most useful or interesting on our own websites.
SchooPed may also have some cookies for its own analytics i.e., analytics not part of Google Analytics. Such cookies help generate statistics and reports about visitors and their activities on the website.
There are a number of ways you can manage what cookies are set on your devices. Essential cookies, however, cannot be disabled. If you do not allow certain cookies to be installed, the website may not be accessible to you and/or the performance, features, or services of the website may be compromised.
You can also manage this type of cookie in the privacy settings on the web browser you are using. Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies you may not be able to access parts of our or others' website.
Hopefully that has clarified things and if there is something that you aren’t sure whether you need or not it’s usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on our website. However, if you are still looking for more information, then you can contact us.
