(βScentihomeβ, βweβ, βusβ or βourβ) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the www.Scentihome.com website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the βSitesβ), along with the Scentihome mobile application and any other mobile applications that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Policy (collectively, the βAppsβ).
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.
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 business 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.

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails.

We may use third-party software development kits (βSDKsβ) in our Apps. An SDK is third-party computer code that may be used for a variety of purposes, including providing us with analytics regarding the use of our mobile applications, integrating with social media, adding features or functionality to our Apps, or facilitating online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly via our Apps.
