Introduction
This In-Product Cookie Policy ("Policy") provides information on how and when SundaySky uses cookies within the SundaySky platform. For the purposes of this Policy, the term "Services" shall be defined as in the Terms of Service.
If you are seeking information regarding the cookies used on www.sundaysky.com and other SundaySky websites, refer to the SundaySky Cookies Policy.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows the Company or a third party to recognize you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes:
- to enable certain functions
- to provide analytics
- to store your preferences
- to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires or until you delete your cookies. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some cookies may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years. Cookies placed by the website you are visiting are sometimes called "first party cookies" while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called "third party cookies."
Does SundaySky Use Cookies Within Its Services?
Yes. The SundaySky Group, affiliates, and service providers use cookies to ensure that SundaySky users can securely, quickly, and reliably use the Services.
Why Does SundaySky Use Cookies?
When users engage with the Services, we may place a number of cookies in the user's browser. For example: we use cookies within the Services to enable platform user and end-user activity; to improve user experience; and to allow our customers to track and analyze usage (navigational and other statistical information) in order to continuously improve our Service.
When we collect this information, SundaySky only uses this data to provide the Services or in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify a subscriber's end users personally.
Users can control the use of cookies on the individual browser level. If a user elects not to activate a given cookie or disables certain cookies, users may still interact with the relevant Services but their ability to use some features or areas of the Services may be limited.
How to Disable Cookies
Users can generally activate or later deactivate the use of cookies through functionality built into their web browser, or by means of cookie consent mechanisms. To learn more about how to control cookie settings in a browser:

Many jurisdictions require or recommend that website operators inform users and visitors as to the nature of the cookies that they utilize.

Options for enabling consent mechanisms for the SundaySky end-user cookies are discussed further below.
SundaySky's in-product cookies all fall within one of the following three categories:
Category | Description |
Essential Cookies | Essential cookies are sometimes referred to as "strictly necessary" as without them, we cannot provide the functionality required to use the Services. For example: essential cookies may support authentication or other features, bolster security, or help with load balancing as users navigate through the Services. |
Analytics Cookies | Analytics cookies track information regarding visits to the Services so that we or our customers can make improvements and report on performance. For example: some cookies help analyze end-user behavior in order to provide additional functionality or suggest certain activities. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Services, which site or page the user came from, the number of each user's visits, and how long a user stays in the Services. We might also use analytics cookies to test new features in order to see how users react to them. |
Functionality or Preference Cookies | During a user's interaction with the Services, cookies are used to remember the information that users entered or the choices they made. They also store user preferences when personalizing the Services to optimize the use of SundaySky (e.g. preferred language). These preferences are remembered through the use of persistent cookies; when a user engages with the Services at a subsequent time, they will not have to set the cookies again. |
End-User Cookies
If you are a SundaySky customer and user SundaySky products to engage with your customers (we refer to our customer's customers as "End-Users"), depending on the products and features that you use and how you have configured them, SundaySky may place cookies on End-User browsers during such interactions.
