Introduction
CHDI Foundation, Inc. ("CHDI", "we", "our" or "us") or third parties acting on behalf of CHDI may use cookies and other technologies on www.HDinHD.org, all of its sub-domains and all of its associated offerings (collectively, the "Website").
This Cookie Policy applies to your use of the Website. We may update this policy from time to time to reflect any changes in technology or laws affecting the way in which we use cookies. Any updates will be posted to this page.
Summary of this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains why we use cookies, the types we use, and how to manage your cookie settings.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that store small blocks of data. They are stored on your device when you load the Website onto your browser. The Website uses "first-party" and "third-party" cookies that make the Website function properly, make it more secure, provide you with a better user experience, and help us understand how the Website is performing and where it needs improvement.
First-party cookies are those placed by us that are necessary for the Website to function as intended; they do not collect any data that directly identifies you.
We may incorporate the functionality of some non-CHDI (i.e., "third-party") websites or domains into the Website. Third-party cookies are those that we allow to be placed by those non-CHDI websites and domains. Third-party cookies collect similar information as first-party cookies but are primarily used for tracking how visitors interact with those outside websites and domains. Third-party cookies may collect data (e.g., your IP address, geographic location, browser version) that could under some circumstances be used to identify you.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to distinguish you from other Website users, provide a better experience when you visit the Website, and help us make improvements.
Cookies let the Website remember your interactions and preferences over time so you don't have to keep re-entering them when you revisit the Website or browse through the pages; this includes non-personal data about your device like language and font size settings and other display preferences.
Types of cookies we use
The Website uses three types of cookies:
- Necessary: cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Website. If you disable these cookies, the Website will not function properly.
- Functional: cookies that are used to recognize you when you return to the Website. We are required to obtain your prior consent to use these cookies on your device.
- Analytical: these cookies are not necessary and allow us to count visitor numbers and analyze how they use the Website. This information helps us improve the way the Website works, such as ensuring that users easily find what they are looking for. This information is gathered anonymously. We use these cookies to determine the kind of content and services our visitors most value. We are required to obtain your prior consent to use these cookies on your device.
Each of these cookie types is described in greater detail below.
