Last updated on March 15, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Knowledge Grover (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to identify you when you visit our website at https://www.knowledgegrover.com.

This text explains what these technologies are and why we use them.

It also outlines your rights to control how we use them. Sometimes, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or this information can become personal if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. Website owners use cookies to help their sites work better and to gather useful information about how people use their sites.

Cookies that the website owner (Knowledge Grover) sets are called “first-party cookies.”
 
Cookies set by other companies are known as “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies allow features like ads, interactive content, and analytics to work on the website.
 
These third-party companies can recognize your computer when you visit their site and when you visit other sites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.

Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager.

This tool lets you choose which types of cookies you want to accept or decline. Essential cookies are required for our services and cannot be rejected. You can find the Cookie Consent Manager in the notification banner and on our Website.

If you reject cookies, you can still use our Website, but some features and areas may be limited. You can also adjust your web browser settings to accept or refuse cookies.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”).

These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them.

This allows us, for example,

  • to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website
  • to another,
  • to deliver or communicate with cookies,
  • to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website,
  • to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns.

In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel.

You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example,

  • How to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site),
  • How to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later)
  • How to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time.

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website.

These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.

They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you.

The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
