Coolpad’s website, online services, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help Coolpad better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of the Coolpad Services have been accessed, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. Coolpad treats information collected by cookies and other technologies as non Personal Information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information under applicable law, we also treat these identifiers as Personal Information.
