At UseVerb, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies. This cookie policy applies to any UseVerb product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference.
Yes. As described in our Privacy Policy, we use cookies and other technologies to ensure everyone who uses UseVerb has the best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy.
A cookie is a small file placed onto your device that enables UseVerb features and functionality. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device, secure your access to UseVerb and our sites generally, and even help us know if someone attempts to access your account from a different device. Cookies also enable you to easily share content on UseVerb and help us serve relevant ads to you.
We use cookies on our site UseVerb.com and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive cookies from us.
We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to UseVerb or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by UseVerb when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services (for example, our sharing or job application buttons). Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit UseVerb, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that’s in line with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions with UseVerb faster and more secure. Additionally, cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the UseVerb sites, and bring customized features to you through UseVerb plugins such as our “Share” button.

Advertising |
We may use cookies to show you relevant advertising both on and off the UseVerb site. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action (e.g. downloaded a white paper or made a purchase) on the advertiser’s site. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we’ve shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with a partner to show you an ad on or off UseVerb, such as after you’ve visited a partner’s site or application. |

DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, Internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, UseVerb does not generally respond to “do not track” signals.
Cookies and other ad technology such as beacons, pixels, and tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us provide aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers, understand and improve our service, and know when content has been shown to you. Note: Because your web browser may request advertisements and beacons directly from third party ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set third party cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. Ads served by UseVerb may also set third party cookies.
If you are logged in on UseVerb.com or another Service that references this Cookie Policy or browsing a third party partner site of UseVerb and one of our cookies on your device identifies you, your usage (such as your browsing behaviour) and log data (such as your IP address), will be associated by us with your account as noted in our Privacy Policy. We also use aggregate data from third parties and data from your profile and UseVerb activity.
If you are a UseVerb member but logged out of your account on a browser, UseVerb may still continue to log your interaction with our services on that browser for up to 30 days in order to generate usage analytics for our services, which analytics we may share in aggregate form with our advertising customers.
