Cookies Policy

Last updated: April 22, 2024

We, at WhiteHaven1, understand the significance of your privacy. In line with our commitment to ensure it, we have adopted this Cookies Policy (the “Policy”) to provide clear insights into the use of cookies on our websites or any of our apps (collectively referred to as “sites” throughout this text). Our goal is to assist you in making informed decisions about the information you choose to share during your visit to our sites. This Policy aims to empower you with options for cookie management. At any time, you can change your preferences and refuse our cookies. By offering transparency and customization, we strive to enhance your control over your personal information and foster a secure online experience.

The Policy is an integral part of our Privacy Policy and therefore should be read together for a full understanding of our practices and your rights with respect to the protection of personal information. By using our services and browsing our sites, you accept our Privacy Policy and our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

IMPORTANT: This Policy is sometimes updated based on changes in our practices or in technology. The changes come into effect on the date of the update indicated. We’ll inform you of any important changes. We recommend you consult this Policy regularly to make sure you’re aware of the most recent version.

What are cookies?

Cookies are tiny electronic files that your web browser stores on your device, whether it’s a computer or a mobile device, when you visit a website. If you allow them, they retain information (as described below) to which we will have access during your subsequent visits. This enables a convenient and a personalized user experience tailored to interactions with our site and your preferences. These cookies can be temporary or persistent. Temporary cookies are deleted after your browsing session, while persistent cookies remain until they are deleted or expired.

Please note that the use of the term “cookies” in this Policy refers to connection cookies as well as similar technology utilized by us or our partners to analyze browsing habits and device data.

Who places cookies on your device?

We create and generate certain cookies while others are managed by third parties, such as service providers outside of WhiteHaven. “Third-party cookies” also allow them to access the information they contain (e.g., your browsing statistics) and they handle it in accordance with their privacy and cookie policies.

Below you will find lists of third parties for each type of cookie indicated. (See section: What types of cookies do we use and for what purpose?)

The lists may be updated from time to time to add or remove third parties, since our products and services are always evolving. We recommend you consult this Policy regularly to make sure you’re aware of our current third parties.

What types of information can be stored in a cookie?

With your approval (except where a cookie is necessary), cookies collect a range of information that may be linked to your use of our sites, your preferences, or your device.

This information generally cannot identify you directly, but it may include personal information if you provide such information while interacting with our sites.

All personal information collected is governed by our Privacy Policy.

For example, cookies may collect and store the following information:

Date and Time of Visits: Timestamps indicating when a visitor accessed the website.
Pages visited: Information about which pages on the website the visitor accessed during their session.

Access or Interaction methods: Information about how the visitor accessed the website (e.g., direct URL entry, referral from another site, search engine referral) and how they interacted with the site (e.g., clicks, form submissions, duration of visits).

What types of cookies do we use and for what purpose?

For the purposes mentioned below, we use 3 types of cookies that fall under 2 main categories: essential and optional cookies.

Essential cookies which cannot be disabled because they are required by our sites to operate normally and securely.
Optional cookies which are disabled unless you authorize them. If you refuse them, you will still be able to access our sites, but certain content or functionality may not be accessible. The optional cookies are separated in 2 types depending on their function.
Performance cookies: Measuring, analyzing, and improving the experience
Personalization & Targeted advertising cookies: Marketing, enhanced offers and services
