COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: 1 December 2021
This Cookie Policy explains how KIRURU SECURITY (“Kiruru”, “we”, “us”, and “ours”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at kirurusec.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites work or work more efficiently and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Kiruru) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
Why does Kiruru use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties place cookies on our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
What types of cookies does Kiruru use?
Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features. For example, they allow us to maintain secure login sessions. If you refuse these cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted.
Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use, for example, interaction with blogs, chat rooms, and forums. They also enable us to differentiate between customers and guest users for the purposes of determining the level of permitted usage of certain tools made available via the Website.
Analytics and customization cookies: These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.
Targeting/Advertising cookies: These cookies make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests and track advertising impressions. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are correctly displayed for advertisers, helping measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and, in some cases, selecting advertisements based on your interests.
An example of a Targeting/Advertising cookie that we use is the Marketo cookie, which collects information about how visitors use our Website. We link this information to personal information that you enter in our online forms and to your account details. We then use the information to understand which products and services you are interested in and to send you information about those products or services.
Social networking cookies enable you to share pages and content you find fascinating on our Website through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising and analytics purposes.
When you share an article using a social media sharing button on our Website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, or Google), the social network that created the button will record that you have done this. Because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can third parties access the data in cookies used by us.
Please see the list below for the types of first—and third-party cookies placed on our Website and how you can refuse such cookies.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These tiny graphics files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of outbound marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function correctly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Does Kiruru allow targeted advertising?
Third parties may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services you may be interested in. They may also employ technology used to measure ads’ effectiveness. This can be accomplished by third parties using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or such third parties to identify your name, contact details, or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these (except that, as outlined above, we may combine certain information about your use of the Website with personal information that you provide to us in online forms to contact you about products or services in which you may be interested).
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to refuse cookies. If you choose to refuse cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted.
You can modify your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. The means by which you can refuse cookies vary from browser to browser, so you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

How often will Kiruru update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
