Cookie Policy

This cookie policy is effective on and from May 25, 2018.

StudyBass ('the website') uses cookies and similar technologies to help provide many features and services to users of the website.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) then sends these cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognize you and remember things like personalized details or user preferences.

What are “similar technologies”? Technologies like “Local Storage” function similarly to cookies. Local Storage can store larger amounts of data, for instance an mp3 audio file, which saves bandwidth for both users and websites by not needing to download the same data again.

The use of the term “cookie” herein refers to cookies as well as these similar technologies.

FIRST-PARTY COOKIES

StudyBass sets cookies of its own in order to function properly.

Some examples of StudyBass features requiring cookies include keeping a user logged in from one page to the next or timing a user's answers to an educational quiz. The information in these cookies is minimal, safe and is not shared with third parties.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

StudyBass tries to rely on direct user support and tries to keep use of third-party services to a minimum. This is difficult and StudyBass uses some services which may set their own cookies in your browser.

Examples of third-party services include:

• Advertisers – Google Adsense, Amazon CPM Ads. These popular ad services serve ads across the web. StudyBass is experimenting with dropping these services, but they may be reinstated at any time.
• Affiliate marketing links – Commission Junction, Amazon Associates. These are links to products for which StudyBass receives a small commission at no extra cost to you. These services require setting a cookie to track your purchase and credit StudyBass.
• Analytics software – Matamo. Analytics software helps websites understand how its users use and navigate the website. It tracks things such as pages visited, length of time spent on a page, what type of device was used, screen size and similar data. StudyBass uses its own private analytics software.Your specific IP address is anonymized and not tracked. Analytics data is not shared with third-parties.
