Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Darim Online and our subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Darim”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the www.DarimOnline.org> and www.JewishClimateFest.org websites and any other website that we own or control or licence and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Sites”), along with the Darim application and any other mobile applications that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the “Apps”).

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience.

Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers or partners on our Sites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising and social media features.

What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does Darim use on the Sites?
On the Sites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described below.

Advertising
These cookies are used by advertising companies to collect information about how you use our Sites and other websites over time. These companies use this information to show you ads they believe will be relevant to you within our Service and elsewhere, and to measure how the ads perform. Who serves the cookies:Facebook and Twitter

See ‘your choices’ below with regard to how to control these cookies.

Analytics
These cookies help us understand how our Service is performing and being used. These cookies may work with web beacons included in emails we send to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. Who serves the cookies: Google Analytics and LuckyOrange

Other technologies
In addition to cookies, our Sites may use other technologies, such as Flash technology and pixel tags to collect information automatically.

Web Beacons

A SDK is third-party computer code that may be used for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our mobile applications, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our app, or to facilitate online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly via our App.

Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly.
