Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how English Idiom Meanings Source (accessible at https://piiqq.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.
When you visit our website, we may collect certain information automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This helps us improve your experience, understand how our site is used, and provide content that is relevant to you.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return to the site.
Cookies can be “first-party” or “third-party.” First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by a service provider or advertising partner.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes. These include ensuring the website functions correctly, understanding how visitors interact with our content, and improving our services. We may use the following types of cookies on our site:
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your preferences (such as language or region). Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not work properly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or logging in.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and if there are any errors. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us improve the structure and content of our site, including our Examples and Common Mistakes and Social Media Context sections. We use this information to make our explanations clearer and more helpful for English learners.
Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising cookies to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies may be used to limit the number of times you see an ad, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and help prevent ad fraud. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies may support frequency capping (limiting how often you see the same ad), ad measurement, fraud prevention, and the delivery of relevant ads. We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertising networks.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages. For example, we may use embedded content from other platforms, or analytics services provided by third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have direct control over these cookies. You should check the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties for more information about how they use your data.
Web Beacons and Pixel Tags
In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs). These are small, invisible images that are placed on web pages or in emails. They help us track user engagement, such as whether an email has been opened or a page has been viewed. Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies to provide aggregated usage data. This information helps us understand which content is most useful, including our Text and Chat Usage guides.
