1.2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you access the internet. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device. They are used to remember your preferences, understand how you use our website, and improve your user experience.
2. Types of cookies we use
We use different types of cookies for various purposes. These may include:

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
2.2. Performance cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
2.3. Functionality cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
3. Third-party cookies
In some special cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. Our site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.
These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content. For more information on Google Analytics cookies, see the official Google Analytics page.
We also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways. For these to work, social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, will set cookies through our site which may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies.
3.1. Google Analytics
RunConvert uses Google Analytics, an analytical service provided by Google, LLC domiciled in the United States with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043.
For the provision of these services, they use cookies that collect information, including the user's IP address, which will be transmitted, processed and stored by Google in the terms established on the website www.google.com.
