Cookie Policy

Technologies like cookies, pixel tags (“pixels”), device or other identifiers and local storage (collectively, “Cookies and similar technologies”) are used to deliver, secure, and understand products, services, and ads, on and off the Look@ Services.

We offer a range of products and features that involve the use of these technologies to reach you based on your activity on and off our Services. As described in more detail below, we also use these technologies in other ways, like for security purposes, to deliver and enable products and services, as well as to understand and measure products, services and advertisements. Third parties that you interact with as you use the Look@ Services may also use these technologies for a variety of purposes.

Check back here from time to time to get the latest information about these technologies and how they are used.

Your browser or device may offer settings related to these technologies. For more information about whether these settings are available, what they do, and how they work, visit your browser or device’s help material. We may not recognize or respond to browser or device signals around tracking, and some settings may interfere with your use of features we offer. Additionally, the settings offered by a browser or device often only apply to that particular browser or device.

What are some of these technologies?

Cookies are small files that are placed on your browser or device by the website or app you’re using or ad you’re viewing. Pixel tags (also called clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixels) are small blocks of code on a webpage or app that allow them to do things like read and place cookies and transmit information to us or our partners. The resulting connection can include information such as a device’s IP address, the time a person viewed the pixel, an identifier associated with the browser or device and the type of browser being used. Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or app to store and retrieve data on a person’s computer, mobile phone or other device. Some examples include device or HTML5 local storage and caching.

Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?

We use these technologies for a variety of reasons, such as allowing us to show you content and advertising that’s most relevant to you; improving our products and services; and helping to keep our Services secure. While specific names of the Cookies and similar technologies that we use may change from time to time as we improve and update our Services, they generally fall into the below categories of use:

You can also take a look at the cookies section of our publicly available audit, carried out by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Ireland, which explains more about the cookies we use.

How do we use cookies, local storage or similar technologies when you use a mobile device?

Many mobile devices act just like computers, such as smart phones that support full-featured browsers. For those devices, we and our partners use Cookies and similar technologies in ways that are similar to when you are accessing the web from a computer. Other devices use different technologies such as local storage on a device, Software Development Kits (SDKs) or Advanced Programming Interfaces (APIs) to facilitate the same types of processes we use Cookies for, as described above.

We may obtain or receive information about your use of your device, our apps, or other apps. As on the web, we also may use these technologies to store an identifier or other information on your device. We describe how we use these technologies and the information we received through their use above. For example, if we learn that you’re already using an app, when you click on a link in News Feed from that app, we can send you directly to that app. If you don’t have the app, we would instead send you to an app store so you could download the app.

How do we use cookies for security purposes?

We use tools like cookies to help keep Look@ Services safe, secure and easy to use. Cookies support or enable security features. For example, with login approvals if someone logs into your account from a browser you’ve never used before, we may block them and ask for more information. They also help us implement login notifications, so you can be alerted when your account is accessed under suspicious circumstances and disable any active Look@ sessions.

Besides helping to keep unauthorized people from logging into your account, we also use cookies to help make sure the people or machines that access our Services don’t violate our policies. For example, certain information on our Services is public and therefore can be accessed by anyone on the Internet. These cookies help us understanding the volume and frequency of requests so we can detect and stop people or machines from “scraping” information from our site.

We also use these tools to make our Services easier to use, like when you mistype one character of your username or password. For example, if you’ve already logged into Look@ from the same browser, we’ll give you easier options to correct your typo since we know you’ve successfully logged into Look@ before.

When might we use cookies, device identifiers, local storage or similar technologies?

We may place or use these technologies when you interact with our Services, our related companies, or with an advertiser or partner (whether or not you are logged in to the particular Service) using a browser or device that permits the placement or use of the relevant technology. For example, when you visit our site or use our app, we may place or read cookies or receive information from your devices. We may also place cookies through a pixel on an advertiser’s or partner’s site.

When might we read the cookies on your computer or device?

Web browsers send any cookies for a particular web domain (ex: Look@.co) to the website each time a machine with those cookies accesses content served from that domain. This means that any Look@ .co cookies will be sent to Look@ when any page is accessed at Look@ .co by that machine. It also means that these cookies are sent to Look@ when someone accesses a third-party website or application that integrates or uses our Services, like one of our plugins.

Sometimes we work with websites, apps and their partners so that we can place or read Look@ cookies on your browsers or devices when you visit third-party services. This allows us to do things like read and reference cookies from more than one device or browser that you use, on and off of our Services, so we can provide you Look@ Services across all of your devices and improve and understand the products, ads and services we offer to you and others across the Internet.

How do third parties use cookies, pixel tags (“pixels”) and other similar technologies on our Services?

We sometimes use service providers to help us provide certain products and services. For example, we use service providers to help you buy things using Look@ on your mobile phone. As part of those services, a provider may use a pixel to collect information about your phone so that, if you choose, it can help us conveniently bill you through your regular phone bill.

When you view, click or otherwise interact with an ad or app on or off Look@ , our partners also use cookies, pixels or similar technologies (like local storage or information from your device), to help provide you with relevant services and ads. For example, a platform partner may use cookies, software developer kits (SDKs) or similar technologies to customize your experience while you’re using their app. Or, an advertising partner may use a cookie to decide whether they want us to show you one of their ads or to measure the performance of the ads you see. Our partners also may use these technologies to help share information with our Services, like how you use their website or app.

We or others (like your friends in their posts or the Pages or apps you visit or use) may integrate third party features like maps or videos to provide you with better services. The providers of those integrations may collect information when you view or use them, including information about you and your device or browser. They may do this using Cookies or similar technologies. To learn more about the information they collect or receive, review their privacy policies.

How do we use Cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads?

We use Cookies and similar technologies to show you ads on and off Look@ Services. Learn more about how Look@ decides which ads to show you and the controls available to you. You can adjust your ad preferences if you want to control and manage your ad experience on Look@.

The advertising companies we work with generally use cookies and similar technologies as part of their services. When they do so, they often adhere to industry-standard controls that you can use or they may offer other choices as well.

We work with advertising companies to help advertisers show people ads based on other websites or apps those people have visited, among other factors. This helps us show you more useful and relevant ads. For example, if an advertiser is promoting an airline sale to Hawaii, they might want to show their ad to people who recently visited websites related to traveling to Hawaii. We work with an advertising company to help that advertiser show the airline sale ad those people.

We also authorize certain companies that provide service to advertisers to measure the impact of the advertiser’s ads on Look@ Services but only where they agree to restrictions on how they can use the info they collect.

Do we use cookies if you don’t have an account or have logged out of your account?

We still use cookies if you don’t have an account or have logged out of your account. For example, if you have logged out of your account we use cookies to help:

• Identify and disable the accounts of spammers
• Recover your account if you ever lose access to it
• Provide extra security features like login notifications and login approvals
• Prevent people who are underage from signing up with a false birth date
• Enable us to deliver, select, evaluate, measure and understand the ads we serve on and off Look@ (this includes ads served by or on behalf of our affiliates or partners)
• Identify public computers so that we can discourage people from using Keep me logged in and putting their account at risk
• Generate insights about the people who interact with our Services and the websites of our advertisers and partners

We also set cookies if you don’t have a Look@ account, but have visited Look@.co, to help us protect Look@ Services and the people who use it from malicious activity. For example, these cookies help us detect and prevent denial-of-service attacks and the mass creation of fake accounts.

If you have cookies on your browser or device, we read that cookie when you visit a site with a social plugin.
