  3. Third Parties: Such as analytics providers and marketing partners.

Non-Identifiable Data
When you interact with Cost My Event, we collect and store certain information that does not personally identify you. This information may include, but is not limited to, your geographic interests, cost estimates, and budgets. Such data is collected passively through various technologies and cannot currently be used to identify you specifically.

Cost My Event may store this information internally or in databases managed by our affiliates, agents, or service providers. We may use this data, aggregated with other information, to analyze metrics such as the total number of visitors to our site, the number of visitors to specific pages, and the domain names of visitors' internet service providers.

Additionally, we may share non-identifiable data with third parties for advertising or other purposes. It is important to note that no Personal Data is disclosed or used in this process.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We utilize cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on our platform. A "cookie" is a small data file that the server hosting our Services sends to your browser when you access the site. These technologies help us enhance user experience, analyze website performance, and deliver personalized content tailored to your preferences.

Third Party Tracking:

We may permit third-party service providers to use cookies or similar tracking technologies to gather information about your browsing activities over time and across various websites after you use our Services. These third parties may employ cookies, web beacons, or other tracking tools to collect data about user behavior on this and other websites, which can be used to deliver interest-based (behavioral) advertising. We do not have control over the tracking technologies or practices employed by these third parties. If you have questions regarding a specific advertisement, we recommend reaching out directly to the responsible advertiser.

Third Party Analytics:

We may utilize third-party analytics services, including Google Analytics, to gather insights into how our Services are used and to enhance their functionality. This data helps us identify usage trends, address any issues you may encounter with the Services, assess the effectiveness of our advertising efforts, and refine ad performance based on user responses. Google Analytics employs cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data and provide us with website performance reports. Importantly, no personal data is stored on external third-party analytics platforms during this process.

Advertising: We may use information collected from our customers or partner vendors to enable us to display advertisements from their businesses to the target audience of users. We may also use third parties (such as LinkedIn, Google AdRoll, YouTube, Instagram) to serve advertisements on other websites or to the general public. 

In-App Advertising: When using mobile applications from Cost My Event, you may receive personalized in-app advertisements. We may work with third-party service providers to deliver these ads or to conduct mobile app analytics. Each operating system—such as iOS for Apple devices, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices—offers its own guidance on how to opt out of receiving tailored in-app advertisements. As we do not control the settings provided by these platform operators, we recommend reviewing their support materials or adjusting your device settings for more information on managing or disabling personalized in-app advertisements.
