Cookies Policy

Note: This Cookies Policy is effective as of May 17, 2023

Our privacy policy describes how we collect and use information, and what choices you have. One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called "cookies", and similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs). We use cookies for all kinds of things on Skigit.

What's a Cookie

When you go online, you use a program called a "browser" (like Apple's Safari or Google's Chrome). Most websites store a small amount of text in the browser - and that text is called a "cookie". Other technologies function similarly to collect data about your browsing activity. Learn more about other technologies in the Help Center. This policy refers to these technologies collectively as "cookies".

How we use Cookies

There are four categories of cookies we may use:

  • Essential cookies are required so Skigit works in the way you expect. Examples of these types of cookies are login cookies which keep you logged in as you scroll through Skigit or search for Pins.
  • Analytics cookies which are used for internal analytics and include cookies from providers like Google Analytics.
  • Personalization cookies for customizing content, including ads.
  • Marketing cookies which are used for advertising Skigit to you off of Skigit.

What we do with the cookies in each category

Essential cookies

We may use essential cookies to remember your settings and preferences, like the language you prefer and your privacy settings. Essential cookies let you log in and out of Skigit. Essential cookies are just one way we protect you from security risks. For example, we use them to detect when someone might be trying to hack your Skigit account or spam the Skigit community.

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to make Skigit better. For example, these cookies tell us how many people use a certain feature and how popular it is, or whether people open an email we send. We also use cookies to help advertisers understand who sees and interacts with their ads and who visits their website or purchases their products. Sometimes we hire security vendors or use third-party analytics providers to help us understand how people are using Skigit. Just like we do, these providers may use cookies. Learn more about the third-party providers we use.

Personalization cookies

We may use cookies to help us remember your preferences, or which Pins, boards, people or websites you've interacted with so we can show you related content you might like. We may also use cookies to help an advertising service we partner with show you interesting ads. For example, if you bought a tent from an advertiser that uses a Skigit partner's service, they could ask us to show you an ad for a camping stove. If you'd like to opt-out of these services, you can do so in your settings.

Marketing cookies

Sometimes we hire advertising vendors so that we can market Skigit products on other websites and apps. These providers may use cookies to provide this service to us. If you'd like to opt-out of these services, you can do so in your settings.

Where we use cookies

We use cookies on Skigit.com, in our mobile applications, and in our products and services (like ads, emails, and applications). We also use them on the websites of partners who use Skigit's Save button, Skigit widgets, or ad tools like conversion tracking.

Your options

There are a few ways you can choose how cookies are used on Skigit:

  • If you're located in the EU or UK, you can adjust your cookie preferences at any time by visiting your Privacy settings and editing your Cookies Preferences. If you've consented to a category of non-essential cookies and later change your mind, you can immediately revoke consent by turning off that cookie category in your settings.
  • In the Personalization section of your settings, you can decide whether we use info from our partners and other services to personalize Skigit for you or whether we use information we learn about you on Skigit to market Skigit to you on other sites and apps. Learn more about your options in the Help Center.
  • There are also online tools such as Digital Advertising Alliance's Browser Check site which allow you to choose how cookies are used throughout the web based on the device and browser you are using.
  • Your browser probably gives you cookie choices. For example, most browsers let you block "third-party cookies," which are cookies from sites other than the one you're visiting. Those options vary from browser to browser, so check your browser settings for more info.
  • Some browsers also have a privacy setting called "Do Not Track," which we support. This setting is another way for you to decide whether we use info from our partners and other services to customize Skigit for you. Learn more in the Help Center.
  • Finally, your mobile device has settings that allow you to control how ad partners can use information about your use of mobile applications to show ads to you. On Android devices, this setting is called "Opt out of Ads Personalization." On Apple devices, you can adjust your choice by selecting Privacy and then Tracking. Learn more in our Helpful Stuff.
