Our privacy policy describes how we collect and use information, and what choices you have. One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called “cookies.” We use cookies for all kinds of things on Frankie.
In the real world, it’s a yummy biscuit. But in technology, a cookie is something completely different. When you go online, you use a program called a “browser” (like Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari or Microsoft’s Edge). Most websites and emails store a string of information or text in the browser - and that is called a “cookie.” So cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer that are linked to your browser. Your browser provides the cookie to the website each time you re-visit it.
We use cookies for lots of essential things on Frankie - like helping you log in and tailoring your experience. Here are some specifics on how we use cookies:
- Log in
Cookies let you log in and out of Frankie.
- Preferences
We use cookies to remember your settings and preferences, like the language you prefer and your privacy settings.
- Personalization
Cookies help us remember which posts, people or websites you’ve interacted with and your favorite items so we can show you related content you might like.
We may also use cookies to help advertisers show you interesting ads. For example, if you bought a skirt from an advertiser, they could ask us to show you an ad for a matching top.
- Security
Cookies are just one way we protect you from security risks. For example, we use them to detect when someone might be trying to hack your Frankie account or spam the Frankie community.
- Analytics
We use cookies to make Frankie better. For example, these cookies tell us how many people use a certain feature and how popular it is, or whether people open an email we send.
We may also use cookies to help advertisers understand who sees and interacts with their ads, and who visits their website or purchases their products.
- Service providers
Sometimes we hire security vendors or use third-party analytics providers to help us understand how people are using Frankie. Just like we do, these providers may use cookies.
- Where we use cookies
We use cookies on our websites and in our applications, and in our products and services (like ads, emails and applications). We also use them on the websites of partners who use Frankie widgets, or ad tools like conversion tracking.
There are a few ways you can choose how cookies are used on Frankie:
- Your browser probably gives you cookie choices. For example, most browsers let you block “third party cookies,” which are cookies from sites other than the one you’re visiting. Those options vary from browser to browser, so check your browser settings for more info. If you choose not to accept cookies, you will not be able to use certain Frankie features (e.g., on of our Website).
- Some browsers also have a privacy setting called “Do Not Track,” which we currently do not support.
