This Cookies Policy describes what cookies are used on the domains operated by Viki, Inc. such as Soompi.com and other sites that link to this Cookies Policy (the “Sites“), why they are used and how you can control their use.
Please read this Cookies Policy carefully. By using Viki, you agree to this Cookies Policy, Our Privacy Policy and Our Terms of Use.
- WHAT ARE COOKIES?Cookies are small text files that websites often store on computer hard drives or mobile devices of visitors. Cookies are used to recognise visitors, enhance your user experience, personalise users’ experience if you return to the Sites, deliver and tailor marketing and advertising, and generally to improve the Sites and the services provided.
- WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DOES VIKI USE?Strictly necessary cookies:
Our website uses first party cookies (i.e. cookies set directly by us to your device) that are strictly necessary. These are essential cookies that let you move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided. You cannot object to these cookies as otherwise the service cannot be provided.
Cookies to improve your user experience:
Our Sites use first party cookies as well as cookies served by third parties on Our behalf and can be used to recognise your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies are most commonly used for website analytics or advertising purposes. Some of the cookies the Sites use only remain on your device while your browser is open (these cookies are known as ‘session cookies’), while others remain for longer periods (these are known as ‘permanent cookies’).
- HOW IS VIKI USING COOKIES?The table below describes what cookies are used for on Our Sites. The cookies that We use may change from time to time as Our Sites evolve; However, they generally fall into the below categories of use:
