This policy aims to clearly explain to you how the KoaLur Online Survey Platform uses Cookies, helping you better understand how we collect and utilize relevant information to protect your privacy and optimize your user experience.
Cookies are essentially small text files sent by a website server and stored on storage media such as your computer's hard drive or mobile device's memory. When you visit our platform, our server sends Cookies to your device. Their main function is to identify your device, record your preferences and usage habits, thereby enhancing your experience on our platform. The specific purposes are as follows:
Identity Recognition and Session Management: When you first log in to the KoaLur Online Survey Platform, the system generates a Cookie that uniquely identifies your session and stores it on your device. When you subsequently visit different pages of the platform, the server can identify your identity by reading this Cookie, maintain your logged - in status, ensuring that you don't need to repeatedly enter your account password for login, and making your operation process smoother. For example, if you exit halfway through completing a survey and enter the platform again next time, relying on this Cookie, the system can directly recognize you and let you continue from the uncompleted survey progress.
Personalized Services: Our platform analyzes your browsing history recorded by Cookies, such as the types of surveys you have participated in, the time you spent on different survey pages, and other behavioral data. By using data analysis algorithms, we can deeply understand your interests and preferences. Based on these analysis results, when you log in to the platform again, we can accurately recommend survey projects that better match your interests. We also optimize the page display according to your preferences, such as adjusting the page layout and recommending relevant survey topics, to improve your satisfaction with the platform.
Website Performance Optimization: With the help of information collected by Cookies, such as page loading time, the operation paths between various pages by users, and click frequency, our technical team can comprehensively evaluate the performance of the platform using professional performance evaluation tools and algorithms. By analyzing these data, we can identify potential problems. For example, if some pages load too slowly, it may be due to overly large image resources or room for code optimization; if some operation paths are complex and cause users to get lost easily, we can optimize the page code and streamline the operation process accordingly to improve the stability and response speed of the platform.
Essential Cookies: These Cookies are indispensable for ensuring the normal operation of the basic functions of our platform. For example, when you log in to the platform, the Cookies used to verify your identity and maintain your login status ensure that the system can always recognize your identity during your use of the platform and prevent you from logging out unexpectedly. When you submit survey data, the Cookies that assist in the accurate transmission and processing of data ensure that your survey results can be received and stored by the server completely and accurately. If these Cookies are disabled, it may cause some functions of the platform to malfunction, such as your inability to log in to the platform or the loss of submitted survey data.
Analytical Cookies: These are used to collect your usage data on the platform, such as how often you visit the platform every day, how long you stay on the platform each time, and which specific pages you have browsed. When we use third - party analysis tools (such as Google Analytics), these tools also collect data through Cookies. We sign strict data confidentiality agreements with third - parties to ensure that the collected data is only used to analyze the usage of the platform, helping us understand user behavior so as to improve services and optimize the user experience. For example, through analysis, if it is found that most users spend too much time on a specific survey page, it may be that the question on that page is not clearly stated, and we can then optimize the question.
Functional Cookies: These Cookies are used to remember your settings and preferences on the platform. For example, if you select Simplified Chinese as the display language in the platform settings, the next time you visit the platform, the functional Cookies will remember this choice and directly set the platform interface language to Simplified Chinese without you having to select it manually again. If you adjust the page font size, it can also maintain the font size you set the next time you log in, allowing you to have a more customized experience when you visit again.
Advertising Cookies: We may use advertising Cookies to cooperate with third - party advertising partners to display personalized advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing history. These Cookies collect information about your activities on different websites. For example, if you have browsed electronic products on other e - commerce platforms, when you visit our platform, the advertising Cookies will combine this information to show you advertisements related to electronic products. However, these Cookies do not identify your personal identity and will not disclose sensitive information such as your name and contact information. You can choose whether to receive personalized advertisements through the platform's advertising settings options. If you choose not to receive them, we will no longer show you interest - based personalized advertisements.
User Choice: You have the right to decide whether to accept Cookies. In modern operating systems, most browsers provide rich options for managing Cookies. Taking the common Chrome browser as an example, you can find the "Privacy and security" section in the browser's "Settings" option, click on "Cookies and other site data", where you can choose to "Block all Cookies", in which case the browser will not receive any Cookies from websites; you can also choose to "Allow all Cookies", or make personalized settings for different websites, only allowing specific types of Cookies. If you choose to reject Cookies, it may affect your experience of using some functions of the platform. For example, you may not be able to enjoy personalized services, and the survey recommendations you see will no longer match your interests; some pages may not load properly because some essential Cookies that maintain the normal display of the page are prohibited.
Deletion of Cookies: You can delete the Cookies stored on your device at any time through the browser settings. In the Firefox browser, you can click the menu button in the upper - right corner of the browser, select "Options", in the "Privacy and security" page, find "Cookies and site data", click "Manage data", where you can choose to delete the Cookies of specific websites or choose to delete them all. In addition, we will also regularly clean up expired or unused Cookies in accordance with relevant laws and regulations to protect your privacy. For example, some Cookies used for temporary identity verification will be automatically cleaned up within a certain period after your session ends to ensure your information security.
We may adjust and update the use of Cookies according to business needs and technological development. For example, with the optimization of the advertising strategy, we may update the collection rules of advertising Cookies to provide you with more accurate and interesting advertisements; or with the upgrade of platform functions, we will adjust the collection content of analytical Cookies to more comprehensively understand user behavior. In case of major changes, we will post a notice in a prominent position on the platform's homepage and send an email to the email address you reserved during registration to explain the changes and their possible impacts in detail, ensuring that you are always informed about our use of Cookies.
