Cookie Notice
Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use generally explains our collection, processing, and storage of the personal information we collect from you online. This Cookie Notice is intended to supplement that Notice and explain how The Voice of the Martyrs, Inc. (“VOM”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) deploys and uses cookies and similar technologies on our mobile application and website, www.torturedforchrist.com (collectively, the “Services”).
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are used to remember you and your preferences through either a single visit to our Services (a “session cookie”) or over the course of repeated visits (a “persistent cookie”). Cookies help to facilitate the best possible user experience of our Services as they allow us to recognize your preferences and information from session to session and generally improve website functionality. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (a “first party cookies”), or by third parties who provide content or advertising or analytics services on that website (“third party cookies”).
Cookies are in addition to other tracking technologies known as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small transparent images that provide internet usage statistics and are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your computer in the same way as cookies. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
Flash cookies are designed to support browser content supported by Adobe® Flash. They will store information on your device, some of which will be specific to the Flash-enabled content. Please refer to the following help page for information on how to manage your privacy settings and deletion of Flash cookies: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.
Although these types of tracking technologies are not all commonly referred to as “cookies,” we will refer to them as “cookies” throughout this Cookie Notice for ease of reference.
