Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how StayIn, Inc. (“Spinach”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with our Service. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Cookie Policy, please contact us at security@spinach.io or as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy. 

What are cookies and similar technologies?

  • Cookies are text files that websites store and access on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser to allow us distinguish you from other users of our Service for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.
  • Local storage technologies, like HTML5, provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 

This Cookie Policy refers to all these technologies, and other types of tracking technologies used through our Service, collectively as “cookies.”

How do we use cookies and other similar technologies?

We use both persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted once you close your web browser. We use persistent cookies, for example, to record your choice of language and country location. The cookies placed through your use of our website are either set by us (first-party cookies) or by a third party at our request (third-party cookies).

We also allow our advertising partners to collect this information through our website.

What types of cookies and similar technologies do we use?

We use the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies: These cookies are required to enable basic website functionality. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service may not work. 

Advertising cookies. These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them with  our permission. 

Functional cookies. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a website may provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing data about your current location. 

Analytics cookies. These cookies help us understand how the Service performs, how visitors interact with the Website, and whether there may be technical issues. This storage type usually doesn’t collect information that directly identifies a visitor. 

Analytics and Advertising

We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how users access and use the Service. In addition, we work with agencies, advertisers, ad networks, and other technology services to place ads about our products and services on other websites and services. For example, we place ads through Google and Facebook that you may view on their platforms as well as on other websites and services.

As part of this process, we may incorporate tracking technologies into our own Service as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these tracking technologies on our Website and within our emails and advertisements may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you.

How can you control the use of cookies?

Depending on where you access the Service from, you may be presented with a cookie banner or other tool to provide permissions prior to non-Essential cookies being set. In this case, we only set these non-Essential cookies with your consent.

You can also limit online tracking by:

  • Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. 

Use the following links to learn more about how to control cookies and online tracking through your browser:

  • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings can provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.
  • Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers. 
  • Advertising industry opt out tools. You can also use these opt out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:
  • Platform opt-outs. Some of our advertising partners offer opt-out features that let you opt out of use of your information for interest-based advertising, including:
  • App Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via our App by uninstalling the App. For Apple iOS, we will only receive access to your device’s Ad ID (known as an IDFA) if you provide consent. You can reset your device’s Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about your device.

Please be aware that if you disable or remove tracking technologies some parts of the Service may not function correctly.

Note that because these opt out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.

Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers can be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
