We use cookies for different purposes:

Strictly Necessary Operations

These cookies are strictly necessary to allow us to operate YALA website, online services or interactive applications. If you do block them through your browser settings, we cannot guarantee how our website, online service or interactive applications will perform for you.

These cookies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your browsing history on other websites, services or applications.

 Functional

We use cookies and other technologies to honor choices you have made on how you would like YALA platform to function when you access them.

For example, we use functional cookies to remember personal information such as your language preference when you visit our website to make your experience more convenient and personal.

These cookies are not strictly necessary, but can enhance your experience.

Performance/Analytics

We use cookies, in an anonymous manner that does not identify you, to:

• analyse the performance of our site;
• maintain, operate, and continually improve our site;
• collect and maintain aggregate website data (such as the number of visitors to a particular site), which helps us see which areas are popular with our users and which are not. Among other things, this helps us improve and update the site, based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed.

For example, we may obtain information from communications you request, including whether you opened or forwarded an email or clicked on any of its content. This tells us about our communications’ effectiveness and helps us deliver information that you find interesting.

These cookies are not strictly necessary.

Managing your cookie settings

If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. Please note that because this is a setting on your browser, this adjustment may also block cookies for any website you visit. You can visit www.aboutcookies.org, which provides detailed information on managing cookies in popular browsers.

Blocking cookies may affect your ability to benefit from the conveniences afforded by the use of cookies, may affect your ability to use certain customization features associated with creating a user profile, and, in the case of cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to operate properly, may affect your experience of the website.

Third Party Advertising and Online Behavioural Advertising

You may be provided with advertisements for YALA and services on third-party websites and mobile services based on your online behaviour.

In addition, our advertising network partners may place and use cookies on YALA  website and on other third-party websites to collect information about your activities in order to provide you with online advertisements that are based on your interests. This is known as online behavioural advertising, or “OBA”. Our advertising network partners that engage in OBA are to identify themselves to you and let you know about how they are using your personal information, so that you can decide whether to opt out of OBA (see the “Opt Out of Online Behavioural Advertising” section below).

Opt Out of Online Behavioural Advertising

When a YALA online behavioural advertisement is delivered to you, you will see an “Ad Choices” icon. Clicking on the icon or link will take you to a website where you can manage or opt out of the use of data about your browsing history that is used for the delivery of online behavioural advertising.

On your mobile device, you may also have a “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (in iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (on Android), which allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests.

If you opt out, you may still see advertisements online, including advertisements from YALA that are based on other information (e.g., based on the content of the page being viewed rather than your prior web-browsing activity).

In some cases, data may still be collected about your browsing activity by third-party advertisers after you have opted out, but they will not use this data to deliver advertisements that are based on your past online browsing behaviour.
