Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Giantreferrals.com LLC, doing business through OpenInvite2 (“OpenInvite2,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use OpenInvite2.com, the OpenInvite2 platform, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
OpenInvite2 believes in being clear about how cookies are used. OpenInvite2 uses only cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation, security, and functionality of the Services.
We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, marketing, cross-site tracking, or analytics.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with the OpenInvite2 Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may place on or access from your browser or device when you visit or use a website.
Cookies may contain information such as a randomly generated identifier, session information, authentication information, security information, or settings necessary for a website to function properly.
Cookies may be temporary session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted.
OpenInvite2 uses cookies only when they are reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure, or maintain the Services.
2. Cookies Used by OpenInvite2
OpenInvite2 uses strictly necessary cookies only.
Strictly necessary cookies are cookies required for the website and Services to operate properly and securely. Because these cookies are necessary to provide functionality requested by the user or to maintain the security and integrity of the Services, they cannot generally be disabled through an OpenInvite2 cookie-preference tool.
Depending upon the functionality being used, strictly necessary cookies may support functions such as:
- maintaining a user’s session;
- enabling account creation and account login;
- authenticating registered users;
- maintaining secure access to an account;
- remembering information necessary to complete a transaction or requested action;
- maintaining booking, reservation, or purchase functionality;
- supporting communications and member functionality;
- maintaining security controls;
- detecting or preventing fraudulent, malicious, unauthorized, or suspicious activity;
- protecting accounts and the OpenInvite2 platform;
- preventing unauthorized access;
- protecting against certain automated attacks or misuse;
- maintaining website stability and functionality;
- load balancing and maintaining reliable website operation;
- remembering essential settings or preferences necessary for the Services to function; and
- complying with applicable legal, security, or operational requirements.
OpenInvite2 seeks to limit the information collected through strictly necessary cookies to information reasonably required for these purposes.
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
OpenInvite2 does not use cookies for purposes unrelated to providing or securing the Services.
In particular, OpenInvite2 does not use:
Analytics Cookies
We do not use cookies to track users for website analytics, audience measurement, behavioral analysis, or similar analytics purposes.
Advertising or Marketing Cookies
We do not use cookies to deliver targeted advertisements, measure advertising campaigns, build advertising profiles, or determine which advertisements should be shown to you.
Behavioral Profiling Cookies
We do not use cookies to create profiles of users based on their browsing behavior for advertising or marketing purposes.
Social Networking Cookies
We do not use social-media cookies to track your activity across websites or to build advertising or behavioral profiles.
Cross-Site Tracking Cookies
We do not use cookies for the purpose of tracking your browsing activity across unaffiliated websites or online services.
4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may include first-party cookies, meaning cookies placed directly by OpenInvite2.
Certain service providers that are necessary to operate particular portions of the Services may also use technologies necessary to provide their services.
For example, OpenInvite2 may use service providers in connection with infrastructure, hosting, security, fraud prevention, authentication, communications, payment processing, or other essential platform functionality.
Any cookie or similar technology permitted in connection with such services must be used for a purpose necessary to provide, secure, or operate the applicable functionality and not by OpenInvite2 for behavioral advertising or marketing.
The use of third-party websites or services may also be governed by those third parties’ own privacy and cookie policies.
5. Payments and Transactions
OpenInvite2 may use third-party payment processors or other service providers to facilitate purchases, bookings, payments, payouts, refunds, or related transactions.
These providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to authenticate transactions, prevent fraud, maintain transaction security, or provide payment functionality.
Such technologies may be governed by the applicable service provider’s privacy or cookie policies.
OpenInvite2 does not use payment-related cookies for behavioral advertising or targeted marketing.
6. Why OpenInvite2 Uses Strictly Necessary Cookies
The OpenInvite2 platform allows eligible users to browse, list, communicate about, reserve, purchase, provide, and participate in experiences and related marketplace activities.
Certain basic technologies are necessary for an interactive online marketplace to operate securely.
For example, after a registered user logs into an account, a strictly necessary cookie may allow the platform to recognize that the user has already been authenticated as the user moves between different pages.
Without such technology, a user might otherwise be required to log in again each time the user moves to another secured portion of the platform.
Security cookies may similarly help OpenInvite2 identify suspicious requests, protect accounts, prevent fraud, and maintain the integrity of the Services.
7. Cookie Consent
Because OpenInvite2 uses only strictly necessary cookies, OpenInvite2 does not use a cookie-consent mechanism to obtain consent for advertising, analytics, marketing, social-media, or other optional cookies that OpenInvite2 does not use.
Strictly necessary cookies are used because they are required to provide, operate, or secure the Services or functionality requested by the user.
If OpenInvite2 introduces non-essential cookies in the future, we will update our practices and this Cookie Policy as appropriate and implement any consent or preference mechanisms required by applicable law before using such cookies where consent is legally required.
8. How You Can Control Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings.
Depending upon your browser, you may be able to:
- view cookies stored on your device;
- delete existing cookies;
- block cookies;
- block cookies from particular websites;
- configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being placed; or
- automatically delete cookies when you close your browser.
The specific procedures differ among browsers and devices. You should consult your browser’s or device’s help or settings menu for instructions.
Important: Because OpenInvite2 uses only strictly necessary cookies, blocking or deleting these cookies may prevent some or all portions of OpenInvite2 from functioning correctly.
For example, disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging into your account, maintaining a secure session, completing a transaction, accessing certain member functionality, or using other portions of the Services.
9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or settings designed to communicate a user’s preferences concerning tracking or the sale or sharing of personal information.
OpenInvite2 does not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.
Because OpenInvite2 uses only strictly necessary cookies, such signals generally do not affect the operation of cookies that are required to provide or secure the Services.
OpenInvite2 will evaluate legally recognized browser-based privacy signals and other privacy-control mechanisms in accordance with applicable law and the OpenInvite2 Privacy Policy.
10. Personal Information and Cookies
Some information associated with strictly necessary cookies may constitute personal information under applicable privacy laws.
Information associated with these cookies may include, depending upon the functionality involved:
- session identifiers;
- authentication identifiers;
- security tokens;
- device or browser information necessary for security;
- IP-address-related security information;
- fraud-prevention information;
- transaction-session information; and
- essential user settings or preferences.
OpenInvite2 uses such information only as reasonably necessary for legitimate operational, security, transaction, legal, or service-delivery purposes, as further described in the OpenInvite2 Privacy Policy.
11. Cookie Retention
The length of time a strictly necessary cookie remains on your device depends upon its purpose.
Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser or when your session ends.
Other strictly necessary cookies may remain for a longer period when reasonably necessary for security, authentication, fraud prevention, essential preferences, or other operational purposes.
OpenInvite2 seeks to retain cookies and information associated with cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they are used, subject to applicable legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and recordkeeping requirements.
12. Children and Minors
OpenInvite2 is intended only for persons who are 18 years of age or older.
Persons under 18 may not create an OpenInvite2 account, list an Experience, make a Booking, or participate in OpenInvite2 member features.
OpenInvite2 does not knowingly use cookies to engage in behavioral advertising directed to children or minors.
13. Changes to Our Cookie Practices
OpenInvite2’s current policy is to use strictly necessary cookies only.
If OpenInvite2 later decides to introduce analytics, advertising, marketing, social-media, behavioral-profiling, or other non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, OpenInvite2 will review the change for compliance with applicable privacy laws.
Where required, OpenInvite2 will provide appropriate notice and obtain any legally required consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies.
14. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, technologies, business operations, security practices, legal requirements, or other circumstances.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Cookie Policy.
If changes are material, we may provide additional notice when required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of an updated Cookie Policy is subject to the updated policy and applicable law.
