Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Filmio International Limited (“Filmio,” “Company,” “we” or “us“) and our Affiliates use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at Filmio.com, and such other websites as we may operate in the future (“Sites“) and such other mediums and applications (e.g., mobile applications), services and offerings we may provide (the “Services”) . It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information. In such cases, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other device when you visit certain websites. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
We use a number of different cookies on our Sites, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
The performance cookies we use include:
Advertising cookies are used on our website to tailor marketing to you and your interests and provide you with a more personalized service in the future. These cookies remember that you visited our website and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our website and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you. Without these cookies, the advertisements that you see may be less relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use cookies to conduct targeted or retargeted advertising here. We do not set advertising cookies through our merchants’ storefronts ourselves, though merchants may choose to do so independently.
Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a website (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our websites. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioral advertising, analytics, and/or market research.
We use first and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Websites. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for analytics, customer support, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific area of the Websites you visit):
What cookies do we use?
The section below provides an inventory of the cookies used on the Websites and (when available), links to opt-out features that our third-party services offer.
Essential Cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Sites and to use some of their features, such as access to secure areas of our Services. For example, we use user-input cookies, multimedia content cookies, load balancing session cookies, user interface customization cookies. These essential cookies may be used only for the session, but others have longer durations. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver functionality on our Sites and Services, you cannot opt-out of receiving them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings however, as described below under the heading “How can I control cookies?”, if you disable cookies in your browser, your access to some functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted.

Advertising Cookies. We do not currently serve advertising on our Sites or Services. However, in the event that we do in the future, we and/or third parties may serve cookies on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device to serve advertising through our Sites or Services. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
Merchant Cookies?
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels’’ or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so disabling cookies altogether or opting out of individual cookies will impair their functioning.
How can I control cookies?
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies on our Sites and Services, with the exception of Essential Cookies. To block or delete Essential Cookies, you can generally do so through the settings on your browser. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience on our Sites and Services, and parts thereof may no longer be fully accessible. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Many of the third party advertising networks and other tracking services offer you a way to opt-out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use, to add new Sites and/or Services, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
