Nutritionix Cookie Notice
Introduction and Scope
This Cookie Notice (the “Notice”) is designed to assist you in understanding how and why Syndigo LLC (“Syndigo”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and other tracking mechanisms (“Cookies”) to collect personal data on the Nutritionix website (https://nutritionix.com) (“Nutritionix”). We use Cookies to allow our website to operate, to increase its functionality and efficiency, and to analyze how you use our website in order to improve it.
To the extent that information collected by the Cookies constitutes personal data (on its own or if combined with other information), our Privacy Notice shall apply to the processing of such personal data, as defined in the Privacy Notice.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
A “cookie” is a small text file stored on your device that contains information about your device. Nutritionix may also employ a software technology called clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons) that helps us better manage content on our website by informing us what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, and are used to track the online movements of website visitors. We may also use local shared objects (a.k.a. “flash cookies”), pixels, local storage, or other similar technologies, as well as smart forms and logging services. In this Notice, we use the term “Cookies” to refer to all tracking technologies.
Browser Configuration
You can alter the configuration of your browser to reject certain types of Cookies. Note, if you reject certain Cookies, you may not be able to access and use all of the features on Nutritionix. You may also set your browser to send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) on your browser. For more information, please visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/ and https://allaboutdnt.com/. For more information on GPC, please visit: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#download. We are committed to user privacy by honoring DNT browser settings and responding to GPC signals.
You may also control your online behavioral advertising preferences and opt out from having your data processed by certain marketing companies by visiting http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ and http://optout.aboutads.info/. Please note that managing these preferences will not turn off internet advertisements in general. You will receive the same amount of advertisements, but they will be less reflective of your interests, as based on your web browsing habits. The opt-out preferences that you set may be nullified if you delete your Cookies.
Types of Cookies
We use both session and persistent Cookies. Session Cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent Cookies may be retained after you close your browser but have an expiration date.
Some of the Cookies placed on your device through Nutritionix are first-party Cookies, because they are placed directly by us. Other parties, such as Google, may also set their own (third-party) Cookies on our website. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties to learn more about the way in which they collect and process information about you.
