Embedded content
If the creator of content on the Drops platform uses embedded content through URLs or similar, the URL of the embedded content may contain third party cookies that may track the users of the created content. We recommend that all creators of content avoid adding third party cookies when using embedded content, and review the URL provider’s privacy options before embedding. Some URL providers have the option of using more privacy friendly URLs without attached cookies. If you choose to add embedded content that includes cookies, you are responsible for ensuring the legality of those cookies and providing any necessary information to the users of the content about the cookies.
You have the right to decide whether to reject or accept cookies. Our use of the above mentioned cookies are only permitted if you are informed about and have consented to the use of cookies. There are different ways in which you can manage your cookies:
Website cookie preference tool: A cookie banner will appear on your screen the first time when you visit our website, or access the website with a new device, informing you of our use of cookies. The cookie banner includes a link to our cookie settings preference center.
Browser controls: You may set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies you may still use our websites. However, your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted or your user experience will be impaired. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web-browser may vary from browser to browser and you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
Do Not Track: Some browsers – like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari – include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for DNT signals have not yet been adopted our web pages do not currently process or respond to DNT. Drops does take privacy and your right to make choices seriously and we continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technologies and the implementation of a standard.
The Services and Websites include social media features, such as social media plug-ins with Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. These features may collect information about your IP-address and which page you are visiting on our Websites, and they may set a cookie to make sure the feature functions properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Websites. We also maintain presences on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Any information, communications, or materials you submit to us via a social media platform is done at your own risk without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other users of these platforms or the actions of the platforms themselves. Your interactions with those features and platforms are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide them.
