Cookies Policy

1. What are cookies and similar tracking technologies?

(1) Cookies

Cookies are small text files downloaded to your browser or device when you visit a website. The web server that sets the cookie can access this information. Cookies typically contain a string of letters and numbers that identify your device, but may also include other data.

Some cookies are set by third parties acting on our behalf. Cookies may remain on your device for varying durations. Some cookies are "Session" cookies, which exist only while your browser or application is open and are automatically deleted when you close them.

Other cookies are referred to as “Persistent” cookies. The duration that a persistent cookie remains on your device varies depending on the cookie. Persistent cookies can recognize your device when you revisit and use the website.

(2) Web beacons

Some of our webpages contain electronic tags, known as web beacons (such as pixel tags, clear GIFs, JavaScript, and local storage, also referred to as “tracking pixels”), which may be used to assist in delivering cookies, counting users who have visited our webpages, and delivering co-branded products (if any). Web beacons or similar tracking technologies may also be included in our electronic communications to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

(3) Other similar tracking technologies

In addition to standard cookies and web beacons, our Services may also use other similar tracking technologies to store and read data files on your device. This is typically done to maintain your preferences or to improve speed and performance by storing certain files locally. But, like standard cookies, these tracking technologies can also store a device identifier and track behavior.

(4) Third-party cookies

Finally, our Services may include standard cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) provided by third-party analytics providers. These Cookies help us compile aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operational activities. Through these technologies, analytics providers may set or access their own Cookies or identifiers on your device to collect information about your use of our websites and other Services, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or within applications, links clicked, and conversion data. However, we prohibit these analytics providers from using web beacons on our sites to collect or access information that directly identifies you (such as your name or email address).  You can visit this website to learn about, and opt out of, data collection or usage by certain analytics providers.

2. Use of cookies and similar tracking technologies

Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information. We use cookies for the following purposes:

(1) Store and honor your preferences and settings;

(2) Enable you to sign in and authorize access;

(3) Evaluate and adjust marketing communications, and deliver interest-based advertising;

(4) Prevent and detect fraud;

(5) Analyze the performance of our Services;

(6) Improve the overall user experience; and

(7) Fulfill other legitimate purposes.

Where required, we will obtain your consent prior to placing or using optional cookies that are not (i) strictly necessary for the operation of the website or (ii) used solely to facilitate communications. For more information, please refer to the “How to Control or Delete Cookies” section below.

3. What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?

(1) Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website or application to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set only in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling informs. You can configure your browser or mobile device to block these cookies; however, some parts of our Services may not function properly if you do so.

(2) Functional preference cookies

These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our website. They enable us to provide personalized content, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your chosen language or region).

(3) Performance cookies

These cookies are used to analyze activity on the website and other Services to improve and optimize their operation. For example, Horizon Robotics uses analytics services on the website. These services collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar technologies for auditing, research, or reporting purposes, helping prevent fraud, and supporting certain website functionalities.

4. How to control or delete cookies?

We retain information collected from cookies for no longer than the maximum period permitted by law.

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Please use the banner that appears when you first visit https://www.horizon.auto to make your choice. Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, some features of the website may not function properly.

5. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We will update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in our practices and Services.

When we post changes to this Cookies Policy, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy.

If we make any material changes to how we collect, use, and/or share information through cookies, we will notify you by displaying the changes in a prominent location when you accessor use the Services. We encourage that you review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates to this Cookies Policy or our other policies.
