This Cookie policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies in the course of our business, including through our website that link to this Cookie Statement, such as ecommerce website or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by us or interact with emails delivered through our service. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Cookie Policy have the meanings given to those terms in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order, for example, to make their website or services work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, Theobroma) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third- party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.
2. Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Theobroma Sites and Services to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of Visitors to our Theobroma Sites, and we refer to these as “performance” or “functionality” cookies. For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise improve the functionality of the Service we provide. We also enable our members to deploy cookies and similar tracking technologies in connection with their use of our Service in order to allow our Members to track their Contacts or end users. Finally, third parties serve cookies through our Theobroma Sites and Service for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

3. Other tracking technologies
We and our third-party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, SDKs, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. Pixels are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Theobroma Sites or, in the case of web beacons, opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of Visitors from one page within our Theobroma Sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair the functionality of these technologies.
4. Targeted Online Advertising
We have engaged one or more third-party service providers to track and analyze both individualized usage and volume statistical information from interactions with our Theobroma Sites. We also partner with one or more third parties (such as advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising on our Sites and/or to manage and serve advertising on other sites.
These third parties use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar tracking technologies to collect and use certain information about your online activities, either on our Sites and/or other sites or mobile apps, to infer your interests and deliver to you targeted advertisements that are more tailored to you based on your browsing activities and inferred interests (“Interest Based Advertising”).
Our third-party service providers may also use cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to our Sites and/or other sites to measure and track the effectiveness of advertisements and our online marketing activities (for example, by collecting data on how many times you click on one of our ads).
Facebook: We also use Meta's pixel to identify users who have landed on certain pages for the purposes of target group-oriented remarketing and advertising. The Meta pixel stores a cookie, which means that information about your visit to our Sites will be shared with Facebook. These cookies and the information collected are used to create target groups to help Facebook deliver advertising on our behalf to users who have previously visited our Sites when they are on Facebook or a digital platform powered by Facebook Advertising, and to track advertising success. You can modify your Facebook Ad settings to restrict these advertisements. Navigate to Settings/Adverts in your Facebook account to adjust your preferences. Learn more about the different types of Facebook cookies here: www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
5. Social media Links
On our website we have included links to social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, and YouTube to promote webpages (e.g., “like,” “pin”) or share (e.g., “tweet”). These
links work using pieces of code coming from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube
themselves. This code places cookies. These social media link also can store and process
certain information, so a personalized advertisement can be shown to you.
Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to
realize what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies.
