COOKIE NOTICE

 

 

We and our third-party advertising and data analytics partners use “cookies” and similar web technologies, including pixel tags or web beacons (“Automated Collection Tools”), to support certain features of the TCL account, smart TV, and other websites and applications operated by us. Automated Collection Tools are pieces of code deployed on your device. The Automated Collection Tools allow the website to recognize your browser or device during your visit to the TCL websites/applications or when you return to the TCL websites/applications. We use the following types of Automated Collection Tools. For more details about the specific cookies we use, you can visit the cookie list.

 

Category 1 - strictly necessary tools:

 

We use several Automated Collection Tools that are essential to the operation of the TCL Materials and necessary for the services you have requested. These types of Automated Collection Tools allow us to:

  • Record that you are logged into your account
  • Record when you give consent to our use of Automated Collection Tools, when applicable;
  • Provide products and services requested by you and process transactions for TCL Materials, including enabling the websites or other TCL Materials to remember the goods that you add to your shopping cart or the information you provided in forms;
  • Display the product reviews that you submit;
  • Keep TCL Materials secure, for example, by monitoring website traffic flow and visits to detect potential security threats (e.g., in case of unusually high or rapid website traffic);
  • Ensure the content of the TCL Materials requested by you loads quickly.

 

Without these Automated Collection Tools, we may not be able to provide certain services requested by you.

 

We want you to understand these essential Automated Collection Tools and the purposes for which we use them, but your consent is not required as we use these Automated Collection Tools only to provide the services requested by you.

 

Category 2 - performance tools:

 

These Automated Collection Tools collect information about how you use the TCL Materials. They allow us to understand:

  • Which device and/or website you come from;
  • Which of the TCL Materials and what functions you use most often, so that we can use this information to improve their functionality;
  • Your preferences, so that we can deliver more relevant website/application content (including advertising content) to you;
  • If you encounter error messages.

 

The information gathered is only used to improve the functionality of TCL Materials.

 

In addition, these Automated Collection Tools are deleted each time after you close your browser session. These tools do not store any information about a visitor once the browser session is closed.

 

Some of these Automated Collection Tools are provided by third parties, for example:

We use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with the TCL Account or other TCL websites/applications. Google Analytics tracks your movements through our sites (i.e. the pages you have seen and the links you have clicked on) and helps us measure how you interact with the content we provide. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve the TCL Account or other TCL websites/applications. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting your use of our sites. More information on opting out of Google Analytics across all websites you visit can be found on the Google website at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

You can find more information about all of these Automated Collection Tools in the cookie list. These Automated Collection Tools expire after 13 months unless you delete them using your browser or phone settings.

 

Category 3 - targeting or advertising tools:

 

These Automated Collection Tools track your browsing habits so that we can show you advertisements that we hope are relevant to your interests. We believe it is useful to show you advertisements tailored to your interests. These Automated Collection Tools use information about your web browsing activities to group you with other users who have similar interests and show you advertisements based on those interests. Information about your browsing habits is passed by us to third-party advertisers in order to show you more tailored advertisements when you are online.

 

Additionally, we use Automated Collection Tools to enable us and third-party partners that we work with to deliver advertisements or tailor marketing messages. For example, we may use cookies to record what products and services you buy or show interest in, and use third-party services to show relevant advertisements on our and other websites/applications based on that information.

 

These types of tools are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
