Cookies policy

This Cookie Statement explains how Glownet (Glownet DWC-LLC) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our Sites or Applications (“Online Properties”), and any other webpages, subdomains, country level domain variants that link or refer to this Cookie Statement, and in course of using any of our Services. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This Cookie policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

Glownet also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users publishing information on glownet.com. Glownet only discloses logged in user information under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that more detailed user information is visible and disclosed to the administrators of Glownet and the organizers of events for which tickets were purchased as described below.

Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This Cookie policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies, as well as the options you have to control them.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “get tickets” or “book” button on a event, for example).

Many of the cookies we use are only set if you are a registered Glownet.com user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit one of our websites, irrespective of whether you have an account.

For more information on the choices you have about the cookies we use, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.
