      Information You provide to third-party sites/websites through the Service are not within the control of Bookingbird™ and You provide such information at Your own risk. The terms and conditions of use and the privacy policies of those websites that You provide information to through the Service will govern their use of such information. Any information You share with a third-party site through the Service will be collected by Bookingbird™. Bookingbird™ will use such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

    4. Information Collected Automatically

      Use of Cookies. The Site may send a cookie to Your computer. Cookies allow us to recognize You as a user when You return to the Bookingbird™ website using the same computer and web browser and to monitor how you use the Site. We use cookies to identify which areas of Our site You have visited, so the next time You visit the site, those pages may be readily accessible. We also may use this information to better personalize the content that You see on the Site. We also use cookies to automatically capture activity on the Site, such as where You click, how You scroll through the Site, or what fields you enter text into (without seeing the actual text you enter). Most browser software can be set to reject Cookies. However, if You reject Our Cookies, certain functionality on the Site may not work correctly or at all.

      We may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on Your browser. Bookingbird™ does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.

      If You send us notice that you object to our use of cookies, a “disagree” cookie will be stored in your browser and Bookingbird™ will not collect any session data. You can object to the collection and analysis of this anonymous data by emailing Your request to opt out to privacy@sproutsocial.com.

    5. Web Beacons

      Bookingbird™ also may use web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to collect information about Your use of the Site and the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers, and to collect data related to Your use of special promotions or newsletters. The information collected by Web Beacons also allows us to statistically monitor how many people open Our emails and for what purposes these actions are being taken. Our Web Beacons are not used to track Your activity outside of the Site or the websites of Our sponsors. However, because Your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if You had requested a web page from their site. If You are a non-registered Visitor to the Site, the only information We collect will be Non-Personal Information through the use of cookies or web beacons.
