Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables bettercabs features and functionality. Any browser visiting our sites may receive cookies from us or cookies from third parties such as our customers, partners or service providers. We or third parties may also place cookies in your browser when you visit non-Amigos sites that display ads, host our plugins or tags.

We use two types of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie may help us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to bettercabs or interact with our Services without signing in again. A persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by bettercabs when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our Services (for example, sites that use our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies last only as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).

Pixels

A pixel is a tiny image that may be found within web pages and emails, requiring a call (which provides device and visit information) to our servers in order for the pixel to be rendered in those web pages and emails. We use pixels to learn more about your interactions with email content or web content, such as whether you interacted with ads or posts. Pixels can also enable us and third parties to place cookies on your browser.

Local Storage

Local storage enables a website or application to store information locally on your device(s). Local storage may be used to improve the Amigos experience, for example, by enabling features, remembering your preferences and speeding up site functionality.

Other Similar Technologies

We also use other tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising IDs and tags for similar purposes as described in this Cookie Policy. References to similar technologies in this policy include pixels, local storage, and other tracking technologies.

Purpose

Authentication

We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you're logged in so we can make it easier for you to access the bettercabs Products and show you the appropriate experience and features.

For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between bettercabs Pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you do not have to keep logging in to bettercabs and so you can more easily log in to bettercabs via third-party apps and websites.

Security

We use cookies and similar technologies to make your interactions with our Services faster and more secure.

For example, we use cookies to enable and support our security features, keep your account safe and to help us detect malicious activity and violations of our User Agreement.

We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the bettercabs Products.

For example: Cookies help us fight spam and phishing attacks by enabling us to identify computers that are used to create large numbers of fake bettercabs accounts. We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malware and to take steps to prevent them from causing further harm. Cookies also help us prevent underage people from registering for bettercabs accounts.

Advertising, recommendations, insights and measurement

For example, we may use cookies to remember previous searches so that when you return to our services, we can offer additional information that relates to your previous search

We use cookies to help us show ads and to make recommendations for businesses and other organisations to people who may be interested in the products, services or causes they promote.

For example: Cookies allow us to help deliver ads to people who have previously visited a business's website, purchased its products or used its apps and to recommend products and services based on that activity. Cookies also allow us to limit the number of times that you see an ad so you don't see the same ad over and over again.

We also use cookies to help measure the performance of ad campaigns for businesses that use bettercabs Products.

For example: We use cookies to count the number of times that an ad is shown and to calculate the cost of those ads. We also use cookies to measure how often people do things such as click on or view ads.

Cookies help us serve and measure ads across different browsers and devices used by the same person.

For example: We can use cookies to prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again across the different devices that you use.

Cookies also allow us to provide insights about the people who use the bettercabs Products, as well as the people who interact with the ads, websites and apps of our advertisers and the businesses that use the bettercabs Products.

For example: We use cookies to help businesses understand the kinds of people who like their bettercabs Page or use their apps so they can provide more relevant content and develop features that are likely to be interesting to their customers.

We also use cookies to help you opt out of seeing ads from bettercabs based on your activity on third-party websites. Learn more about the information we receive, how we decide which ads to show you on and off the bettercabs Products and the controls that are available to you.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enable bettercabs plugins both on and off the bettercabs sites.

For example, our plugins, including the “Share” button may be found on bettercabs or third-party sites, such as the sites of our customers and partners. Our plugins use cookies and other technologies to provide analytics and recognize you on bettercabs and third-party sites. If you interact with a plugin (for instance, by clicking “Apply”), the plugin will use cookies to identify you and initiate your request to apply.

Cookies and similar technologies help us learn more about how well our Services and plugins perform in different locations.
