What tracking technologies does lnkbiz.com use?
lnkbiz.com commonly uses cookies and pixels. Cookies are small text files that can be saved by your web browser when you visit a website. These text files store information about your use of the lnkbiz.com Services that can be retrieved from your device. When you visit lnkbiz.com , our web server sends a cookie to your device, which enables us to recognize your device (but not the specific person using it). By associating information in cookies with your account information, for example when you log in to our Services, we know that the cookie information is related to your user account.
Cookies vary in how long they are kept on your device. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our website.
- “Session cookies” are temporary cookies that last only for a single browsing session. The information they collect is stored in temporary memory and deleted as soon as you leave our website or close your browser.
- “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device until you take steps to remove the cookies or until the expiry date of a particular cookie (usually several months after the cookie is placed on your device). Persistent cookies may record information from every visit you make to our website for as long as they remain on your device.
Pixels are snippets of code or small, invisible images embedded in emails and websites that help us learn how you interact with our content (for example, whether you clicked on a link or image).
Our mobile application uses SDKs and APIs, which may collect certain information about your use of our mobile application, such as information that helps us understand how our mobile application is performing and whether the software code contains any bugs, as well as information about the content you enjoy on the mobile application. These SDKs and APIs are typically developed by vendors we work with.
The tracking technologies we use are set by us, our trusted vendors, and some Creators, and we may link the information collected by the tracking technologies to other information collected about you.
What types of information do tracking technologies collect and store?
Tracking technologies typically store the name of the website or mobile application you visit and a unique ID associated with your browser or device. This information allows our website or mobile application to retrieve or provide the correct information. Tracking technologies are often used to collect and store your personal preferences, information needed to authenticate you as a valid visitor to the website, your IP address, your browsing history, and information about your use of a website or mobile application, such as how often you visit, how you arrived at a website or mobile application, and how you interact with our content (e.g., what you click on). Each type of tracking technology retrieves information that it stores or provides information associated with it. These technologies are not intended to read other information on your device.
Why does lnkbiz.com use tracking technologies?
Tracking technologies are primarily used to collect and analyze data about your interactions with our website, mobile application, and projects. We use this information to understand project success and user behaviors, to improve our website and mobile application, and to personalize your experience. For example, lnkbiz.com uses tracking technologies and allows Creators to use tracking technologies to help recognize you as a returning visitor and to help understand the use of our website or mobile application over time. We may use information obtained from tracking technologies to improve the quality of our Services, enhance your user experience, automatically recognize you or your preferences, and personalize your browsing by showing projects that are more likely to be relevant to you. Tracking technologies are also used to analyze trends in website traffic and to use and measure the effectiveness of marketing and advertising. We may provide information from our tracking technologies to our Creators and our vendors, including those whose technologies we use to collect information on our behalf, such as pixels associated with Meta or Tik Tok. When such information is provided to our vendors, it may be subject to their terms. For example, Google provides information you can read about how Google uses information from websites or mobile applications that use its services and how you can opt out of Google Analytics .
Some examples of the types of tracking technologies lnkbiz.com uses are below. For your convenience, we have organized them by general use. These categories are intended to provide information about how we use different types of tracking technologies. Please note that usage may vary, and some websites you visit may use and categorize tracking technologies differently than we do.
- Essential. Essential tracking technologies are necessary for our website or mobile application to function and to enable you to use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. These tracking technologies also help maintain the security of our website or mobile application by facilitating security features and allowing us to detect activities that may violate our rules and Terms of Use . Essential tracking technologies also help protect your account from unauthorized access, including by alerting you and us when your account has been accessed and by allowing us to disable active sessions (for example, when you log out or change your password).
- Functional . Functional tracking technologies help us improve the operation of our website or mobile application and personalize your experience. Functional cookies are typically set in response to actions you take to request certain services from us, such as setting your privacy preferences, choosing a language, creating an account, or filling out a form to request more information or support from our outreach team.
- Analytics . Statistics and analytics tracking technologies, sometimes known as “performance cookies,” allow us to understand how you use our Website, such as identifying unique visits, traffic sources, and pages visited, so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us understand, for example, which pages or content are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the Website or mobile application.
- Advertising and Marketing . These tracking technologies may be set by us, the Creators, or our advertising and marketing partners. They may be used, for example, to personalize the ads you see, collect details about our marketing campaigns, or limit the frequency with which you see a particular ad. They typically do not collect information that directly identifies you, but they may access information that uniquely identifies your browser or device and that may be combined with other information to identify you.
Your choices
lnkbiz.com provides several ways for you to manage our use of tracking technologies .

Consent and updating consents

Where we ask for your consent for Functional, Analytics, and Advertising & Marketing tracking technologies, you will see a pop-up banner when you first visit our website asking for your consent for non-essential tracking technologies.

Opting out of self-regulatory programs
Two major self-regulatory programs are available to help you control the use of cookies in your browsers — the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative . Both programs help regulate vendors in the digital advertising space. One function of their self-regulatory programs is to give you the ability to opt out of receiving targeted advertising, including the use of cookies, from their member companies. If you live in the United States, Canada, or the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, you can visit the relevant Digital Advertising Alliance website to find a convenient place to opt out of receiving targeted advertising for participating vendors in each region — Ad Choices (United States), Your Ad Choices (Canada), or Your Online Choices (European Economic Area and United Kingdom). The Network Advertising Initiative assists with opt-outs through its Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising webpage .
