Sidespace also uses “cookies”. A cookie is a small file that stays on your computer until, depending on whether it is a sessional or persistent cookie, you turn your computer off or it expires (typically between 30 and 90 days). Cookies may be used by Sidespace or by its service providers to provide the full range of services, remember your preferences and the sites you visit on Sidespace, measure and analyse usage, and for security. Persistent cookies may be used to identify the sites you visit and to personalise the advertising you see on future visits.

Companies operating Linked Sites may collect personal information through cookies and otherwise. Sidespace is not responsible for Linked Sites and recommends you read their privacy policies before disclosing your personal information. Sidespace's Site and Application may contain electronic images known as Web Beacons, used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics on how the Site and Application are used, and in some emails to let us know which emails and links have been opened. This helps us gauge the effectiveness of our customer communications and marketing campaigns.
