COOKIE POLICY

Cambridge Mobile Telematics Inc. (“CMT”) uses cookies when you use the CMT app (the “App”) or the services via CMT’s website at www.cmtelematics.com (“Services”).

By using this website, the App or the Services you consent to the use of cookies. This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the website, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

  1. Use of Cookies

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website for security and authentication purposes and also to track activity, such as page views and downloads. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and use our App or Services. This also allows us to improve the website, App and Services and to enable third parties to provide you with advertisements about other goods and services that you may be interested in.

  1. What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies.

We use persistent cookies and session cookies.

  1. Persistent Cookies

A persistent cookie is stored on a user’s device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of a user across our website (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered and remains on your device after you close your browser or turn off your device. We use persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins.

  1. Session Cookies

A session cookie exists only during a single session and disappears from your device when you close your browser or turn off your device. A session cookie allows us to link your actions during a browser session. We use session cookies to enable certain features of our website, App or Services, to better understand how you interact with our website, App or Services and to monitor aggregate usage by users and web traffic routing on our website. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off and then close your browser.
