How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
Last updated: July 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how 开云 China ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We'll break down what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control their use.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Websites widely use cookies to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner 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 to be provided on or through the website (like advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance your experience on our website.
The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically 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. | Temporary cookies for your current visit, and longer-lasting ones to remember you. |
| Performance Cookies | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. | Up to 2 years |
| Functional Cookies | These cookies may be set through our site by us or by third-party service providers. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. | Up to 1 year |
| Targeting Cookies | These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our site. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. | Up to 1 year |
| Social Media Cookies | These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. | We use cookies that expire when you close your browser, alongside others that stay put for a while. |
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the relevant opt-out links provided in the cookie banner, or by modifying your internet browser settings.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, but your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, and you may need to visit your browser's help menu for further information:
Various third parties offer browser plugins and applications that can help you understand and limit or block third-party cookies, web beacons, and certain JavaScript-based technologies. We cannot guarantee the effectiveness of any particular third-party product, but some popular options include:
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, to operate our website.
Web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, which may be included on our website for purposes of sending or communicating with cookies, to count visitors to our website, to understand usage and advertising campaign effectiveness, and to determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon.
We may use local storage (LS), such as HTML5 storage, to save content information and preferences. Different browsers may offer their own management tools for deleting HTML5 LS.
Within our mobile applications, we may utilize Software Development Kits (SDKs), which are pieces of code that send data about your app usage to servers for analysis.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no uniform standard for responding.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our operations. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our cookie practices. If there are significant changes, we may choose to notify users through email or website notices.
