COOKIE POLICY
Effective: April 1, 2024
THE NEVERREST PROJECT websites, online services, and mobile applications (collectively the “Services“) use cookies, pixel tags, scripts and similar tracking technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies“), some of which are provided by third parties, to operate and improve our Services, enable social media and other features, and support our advertising and marketing efforts, and give you the best possible experience. These cookies and tools may enable us and these third parties to collect user data and communications, IP address and online identifiers, referring URLs and other content and browsing information, and record user sessions and interactions with our Services. We and these third parties use the information collected to analyze and improve performance, understand more about users and their interactions with our Services, provide personalized experiences, and reach users with more relevant content and ads on our Sites (defined below) and Services, and across third party sites. These third parties may also combine the information about you that they collect through our Services, with information that they collect about you (including browsing, usage data and activity information) from third party sites, services and sources. They may use this information, for example, to build a profile of your interests, measure ad campaigns and services, and show you relevant advertising on our Services and across third party sites and services.
This Cookie Policy (the “Policy“) provides you with information about the cookies that THE NEVERREST PROJECT, our service providers, and third parties use, the purposes for using them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences for the Services.
Scope. This Policy applies to THE NEVERREST PROJECT Services that link to this Policy, http://www.theneverrestprojec.org (the “Site“). Please note: if you are located in the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, please refer to our European Cookie Policy, not this Policy.
For information about how THE NEVERREST PROJECT collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information, please visit our Privacy Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Browser (HTTP) Cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred to your web browser through our Sites. Cookies allow us to track and record certain user information, such as to recognize whether you have visited our Sites and Services before and may store user preferences and other information. Cookies also can record events related to your use and activity on our Sites and Services and, in some cases third party sites and services. The information recorded may include, for example, the pages and products viewed by you, how you navigate through our Sites, your purchase history, date and time of browsing, and your communications or content typed into webforms, chat boxes or search queries. Cookies also can record information related to your device (e.g., browser type, device type, operating system, version, IP address, online identifiers, and referring URL) and events relating to ad serving activity, such as the number of ads displayed on your device, and ads clicked by you.
HOW DO THE SERVICES USE COOKIES?
We use the following categories of cookies on our Sites and Services:
1. FUNCTIONAL AND NECESSARY
We use Functional and Necessary cookies to ensure that the Sites and Services function properly and securely, to prevent fraud and misuse, and to enable certain functionality. Some of these cookies are necessary to the ongoing operation of the Sites and Services, meaning a Site won’t function properly or at all without them. For example, some Functional and Necessary cookies are used for load balancing and traffic distribution/routing and to optimize page and content loading on our Sites. Functional and Necessary cookies also include cookies that enable us to secure the Sites and Services (e.g., to detect and block bot activity and other malicious traffic, prevent Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, detect bugs and errors, and securely process transactions), as well as cookies that we use to detect and prevent fraud and misuse (e.g., to detect and block suspicious logins and fraudulent transactions). In addition, some Functional and Necessary cookies enable certain key site functionality (e.g., account logins, adding items to your shopping cart, submitting webforms, and checking out with Apple Pay, PayPal, and other third party payment services).
Given the important role these cookies play, Functional and Necessary cookies are set to “always active” on our Sites, which means that you cannot “opt out” of or turn them off by adjusting your cookie settings through the Privacy Preference Center on our Sites. You may be able to block or delete Functional and Necessary cookies through your browser settings (see below for more information). However, if you do so, the Sites and Services will not operate properly, and certain features and content may be unavailable or non-operational.
2. PERFORMANCE AND ANALYTICS
Performance and Analytics cookies allow us to collect, measure and analyze audience, activity and usage information about the Sites and Services, so we can evaluate and improve the performance of our Sites and Services. For example, Performance and Analytics cookies may provide us with insights on which pages are the most and least popular and which pages are the most and least popular and how users move around our Sites and Services. They also allow us to remember preferences and settings you have selected and help us identify issues users face on our Sites and Services.
3. TARGETING, MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Targeting, Marketing and Social Media cookies may be set by us or by third party ad companies and social media networks. These cookies allow us and third parties to, among other things, make your user experience more personal, reach you with more relevant ads, and measure and improve ad campaigns. These third parties may also combine the information about you that they collect through our Sites and Services, with information that they collect about you (including browsing, search history, usage data, content and activity information) from third party sites, services and sources, which they may use, for example, to build a profile of your interests, show you relevant advertising on our Sites and across third party sites and services, and measure and improve ad campaigns and services.
Targeting, Marketing, & Social Media cookies also include cookies that enable social media and other features on our Sites and Services, including the possibility to connect you to your social networks (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X and LinkedIn) and share content from our Sites or Services through social media.
If you do not allow Targeting, Marketing and Social Media cookies, you will still receive ads from us, but they will be less relevant and tailored to your interests, and certain social media features will not be available within our Sites and Services.
HOW CAN I MANAGE MY PREFERENCES?
You have several choices for managing your cookie preferences for our Sites and Services. However, opting out of certain types of cookies may affect the functionality and performance of our Sites and Services and may prevent you from being able to access certain features.
Please note that most of the below options are browser and device specific. So, when you access one of our Sites or our Services from a different device or browser, you will have to apply your settings for each browser and device you use to visit that Site or access the Services.
Site Cookie Preferences. You may opt out of most cookies on our Sites (other than Functional and Necessary cookies) by adjusting your browser’s cookie preferences for our Sites, in our Privacy Preference Center. Please note that even if you opt out, our Sites may still serve Functional and Necessary cookies (e.g., those we use to optimize Site performance and page or content loading, manage and distribute traffic, secure the Site and our Services, and detect and prevent fraud and malicious activity), which may enable us and third parties to collect and track certain user data and communications, such as IP address, device ID and other online identifiers, referring URLs, browser and OS type and version, date/time stamps, and other activity and browsing information. You can access the Privacy Preference Center, and review and update your cookie preferences for one our Sites, by using the “Manage Cookie Preferences” link, or the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link for California users, in the footer of that Site.
Universal Browser Privacy Signals. If one of our websites recognizes that your browser is transmitting a Global Privacy Control signal (“GPC”) when you come to that website, we will opt your browser out of Targeting, Marketing and Social Media cookies on that website. More Information about GPC signals is available here.
Our Sites do not currently recognize or respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Browser Settings. You can also change your browser settings so that you receive a warning before certain cookies are stored and adjust your settings so that your browser refuses most cookies or only certain cookies from third parties. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored. However, if you take this approach, it may override choices you may have made in our Privacy Preference Center or with third parties. Browser settings do not affect mobile applications.
The procedures for changing your browser settings for cookies differ from browser to browser. If necessary, use the help function on your browser or click on one of the links below to go directly to the user manual for your browser:
Mobile Devices. If you access the Sites or Services from an Android or iOS mobile device, you can also set certain device privacy and advertising preferences, through the settings menu for your device. For example, iOS users can turn off cross-site tracking for the Safari browser and choose whether or not to allow mobile applications to request to track you. You can find more information on the privacy settings for your device at:
Industry Ad Choice Tools. As noted above, our Services may include cookies that are provided by third parties and enable these third parties to collect your data over time and across unaffiliated websites and mobile applications to better gauge your interests and serve you more relevant ads, so-called “interest-based advertising.” For example, we and third parties (such as ad networks and other advertising companies) may use the fact that you visited our Services and have interest in particular THE NEVERREST PROJECT products to target relevant online ads for THE NEVERREST PROJECT or other products to you on non-THE NEVERREST PROJECT websites and mobile applications.
You may opt out of interest-based advertising by participating third party ad companies by using the AdChoices industry opt-out tools, as described below.
Please note that these industry opt-out tools and programs are not operated by THE NEVERREST PROJECT, and we are not responsible for their completeness, accuracy or effectiveness. Please note that the opt out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile identifiers, change browsers or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work, and you will need to opt out again. In addition, even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, you will still see ads from us, but the ads will be less relevant to you and your interests.
Keep in mind that most of the above preferences and choices are device specific. So, if you use multiple devices, you should review and adjust the settings for each according to your preferences.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may change this Policy from time to time by posting the updated version of the Policy on the Sites and Services. Any changes will take effect on the “Last Effective” date posted at the top of this Policy. We encourage you to visit frequently to stay informed about how we use cookies.
COOKIE POLICY – EU Countries / European Economic Area / Switzerland / UK
Effective: April 1, 2022
THE NEVERREST PROJECT and third parties use cookies and similar technologies on THE NEVERREST PROJECT online services (including websites and mobile apps) to operate services and enhance the user experience. Examples of these technologies are cookies, pixel tags, scripts, statistical identifiers, and mobile advertising identifiers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are used for a variety of purposes by THE NEVERREST PROJECT and its third-parties, including those who calculate web statistics and provide social media or interest-based advertising services.
This cookie policy applies if you are visiting from the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. For visitors from outside those territories see our non EEA Cookie Policies.
This cookie policy provides you with information about the cookies that we and our third parties use on THE NEVERREST PROJECT online services, the purposes for using them, and how you can manage your cookie settings. This policy applies only to the sites and mobile applications that link to this policy, including http://www.asics.com, http://www.onitsukatiger.com, http://www.runkeeper.com, id.asics.com, and studio.asics.com. Other online services provided by THE NEVERREST PROJECT and our group companies may be subject to different cookie policies.
For further information about how THE NEVERREST PROJECT collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the services, please visit our online Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this cookie policy, please contact the THE NEVERREST PROJECT company as noted here: DATA AND PRIVACY QUESTIONS.
WHAT COOKIES ARE USED ON THE NEVERREST PROJECT ONLINE SERVICES?
We and third-parties may use a variety of cookies and other (tracking) technologies, now and hereafter developed, in connection with our online services, including:
Cookies. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows the services to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. Cookies also can record events related to your device’s activity on our, and in some cases third party, services, including the pages viewed, products viewed, purchase history, and date and time of browsing. They also can record information related to your device (e.g., browser type, device type, operating system, version, IP address) and events relating to ad serving activity, such as the number of ads displayed on your device, and ads clicked.
First-party cookies are placed by us. They can make your experience on the web more efficient. For example, they help us remember:
Items in your shopping cart;
Your log-in name; and
Your preferences, such as your preferred language or location.
Third-party cookies are placed by a company other than us. For example, we may work with an advertising network to deliver some of the ads you see. We also may work with companies in order to provide personalized product recommendations based on trends and on your browsing and purchase history on our, and sometimes third party mobile apps or sites. Or we may work with an analytics company to help understand how users interact with our services. These “third party” companies also may place cookies on your browser to understand your behavior over time.
Pixel tags. A pixel tag or web beacon is a small string of software code that represents a graphic image request on a web page or email. There may or may not be a visible graphic image associated with the pixel tag or web beacon, and often the image is designed to blend into the background of a web page or email. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information, which may include personal information. Pixel tags can be used for many purposes, including traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising auditing and reporting, and to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.
Mobile identifiers. We and third parties may use mobile identifiers to collect information about your use of the services on mobile devices. For example, most modern mobile devices (iOS 6, Android 2.3, and Windows 10 and above) provide mobile advertising identifiers. These are randomly-generated alphanumeric codes that are associated with your device that often come with options to reset the identifier and opt out of interest-based advertising. These identifiers have different names depending on the operating system. For example, they are called Advertising IDs on Android devices and Identifiers for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS devices. These technologies and other mobile identifiers may be used to monitor how mobile applications are used on a particular device.
Statistical identifiers. We and our third-party partners may create statistical identifiers using technical information collected using cookies and other tracking mechanisms, such as operating system, user-agent string, IP address, Internet browsing, and similar information. These statistical identifiers are created with an algorithm that uses information about your computer or device. This information makes your computer or device distinct enough for us or our third-party partners to determine with a reasonable probability that they are encountering the same computer or device. This data is used for purposes that include increasing the relevancy of ads displayed on your device.
HOW DO THE NEVERREST PROJECT ONLINE SERVICES USE COOKIES?
COOKIE OVERVIEW
Below is the list of the cookies we use on the THE NEVERREST PROJECT online services, whether it concerns a first or third party cookie, what personal data these cookies collect and for how long they are stored. This list offers an overview of the functional, performance and analytics and the targeting, marketing and social media cookies.
FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
These cookies are necessary for the site to function properly and are therefore set to “always active”. They are often set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your (privacy) preferences, remembering items in your shopping cart, logging in or completing forms.
Furthermore, cookies are placed for analytics purposes to measure site traffic in order to assess the functioning of the site. In this category we only place analytical cookies that have very little to no impact on your privacy, such as Google Analytics with privacy-friendly settings (anonymized IP address, no data sharing with Google etc.), otherwise we will ask your prior consent to do so.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
PERFORMANCE AND ANALYTICS COOKIES
These cookies allow us to measure and analyze our site audience so we can improve the performance of our sites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. They also allow us to improve the speed with which we can process your request, allowing us to remember the site preferences you have selected. It also helps identify issues faced by users on the site. We and our third-party partners will only place performance and analytics cookies if you have provided your explicit consent for this. You can change your settings at any time following the instructions below. Please note that not allowing these cookies may result in poorly-tailored recommendations and slow site preferences.
TARGETING, MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA COOKIES
These cookies allow us to make your user experience more personal and to recommend certain products. We do this, among other things, based on your behavior on the THE NEVERREST PROJECT site across the various devices you use.
Furthermore, these cookies collect information to tailor advertising to your interest. They can be set by us or by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on our sites or on other sites.
Social Media cookies offer the possibility to connect you to your social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn) and share content from our site through social media. In addition, if you consent, these social media also track your behavior on our sites and apps so they can show you more targeted articles, ads and videos on their platform.
We and our third-party partners will only place targeting, marketing and social media cookies if you have provided your explicit consent for this. You can change your settings at any time following the instructions below. Please note that if you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
HOW CAN I MANAGE MY COOKIE SETTINGS, BLOCK OR DELETE COOKIES?
If you do not want THE NEVERREST PROJECT or third-party partners to store cookies on your device that collect and use data relating to your online activities, you can exercise certain preferences by using our cookie preference center available in the footer of the site under Manage Cookie. Also, you can click here to be directed to the Privacy Preference Centre to adjust your preferences at any given time.
You can also change your browser settings so that you receive a warning before certain cookies are stored and adjust your settings so that your browser refuses most cookies or only certain cookies from third parties. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored. However, if you take this approach it may override choices you may have made in our Privacy Preference Centre or with third parties.
Please note that, whether you use our Privacy Preference Centre or other cookie control tools, you will have to change your settings for each browser and device you use. In order to exercise choice regarding interest-based advertising, you must use the opt-out choices described below in “How can I opt out of certain analytics and interest-based advertising?”
Please be aware that if you do not want to accept any cookies, we cannot guarantee that our services will function properly. It may be that several functions will be unavailable to you or that you will even be unable to view certain parts of the services.
The procedures for changing your browser settings and blocking or deleting cookies differ from browser to browser. If necessary, use the help function on your browser or click on one of the links below to go directly to the user manual for your browser.
Browser settings do not affect apps. You can also reset the advertising identifiers on your mobile device in the device settings. iOS users can visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset Advertising Identifier. Android users can visit Google settings > Ads > Reset advertising ID. These controls work much like deleting cookies in a browser—the device is harder to associate with past activity, but tracking may still occur using the new advertising identifier.
HOW CAN I OPT OUT OF CERTAIN ANALYTICS AND INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING?
You may opt out of Google Analytics’ use of cookies for analytics purposes by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Our services may enable third-party tracking mechanisms that collect data over time and across unaffiliated websites and mobile applications to better gauge your interests and serve you more relevant ads, so-called “interest-based advertising.” For example, we and third parties (such as ad networks and other advertising companies) may use the fact that you visited our services and have interest in particular THE NEVERREST PROJECT products to target relevant online ads for THE NEVERREST PROJECT or other products to you on non-THE NEVERREST PROJECT sites and mobile applications. You may opt out of some third-party interest-based advertising in web browsers and mobile applications by following the instructions below or you may use our Privacy Preference Centre available in the footer of the site under Manage Cookie. Please note that the opt-out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies or mobile identifiers, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will need to opt out again. In addition, even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, you will still see ads from us but the ads will be less relevant to you and your interests.
Some interest-based advertising companies offer consumer choice through the following industry self-regulatory programs:
Web browser opt-out. To opt out in web browsers, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out Page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Consumer Choice page at http://www.aboutads.info/consumers, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada’s Consumer Choice page at http://www.youradchoices.ca/choices.
You may also download the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “Protect My Choices” tool at http://www.aboutads.info/pmc to help preserve the opt-out preferences you set on the DAA’s Consumer Choice Page.
Mobile application opt-out. To opt out in mobile apps, please download the Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices tool at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices or https://youradchoices.ca/en/appchoices and adjust the advertising preferences on your mobile device. To adjust your advertising preferences in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. To adjust your advertising preferences in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads.
While we support these programs and expect the advertising companies, we work with to support one or more of these programs, these opt-out tools and programs are not operated by us and we are not responsible for their completeness, accuracy or effectiveness.
Some browsers have so-called “do not track” signals. However, there is no consensus as to what they mean or when they indicate an affirmative user choice, so our services currently do not respond to Do Not Track browser signals.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may change this cookie policy from time to time by posting the updated version of the policy on the services. Any changes will take effect on the “Effective” date posted at the top of this policy. We encourage you to visit frequently to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies.
