Manychat Cookies Statement

This Cookie Statement explains how Manychat, Inc (“Manychat,” “we, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website Manychat.com or other websites administered by Manychat where this Cookie Statement is placed (“Site”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

For information on how we process other categories of personal data, please see our  Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit the SIte. When you visit the Site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences, remember login details, and other information.

Who sets cookies when I use Manychat Site?

There are two main types of cookies:

  • Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, Manychat) 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 (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits our Site and also when it visits certain other websites.

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

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Site and to deliver customized content and promotions, advertising and analytics.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform:

  • Essential cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Site to you and provide you with services available at the Site (e.g. authentication, fraud detection, security and functionality cookies).
  • Preference cookies to remember your preferences and to recognize you when you return to our Site, as well as to enhance the performance of our Site and provide different functions across pages. These include cookies to enable you to share content with networking and sharing platforms, to read screen resolution and store information about the language you prefer.
  • Analytics cookies to help us understand how our Site is used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. These cookies store and count pageviews, store unique visits, and other metrics for statistical purposes.
  • Advertising cookies to make advertising messages more relevant to you. This type of cookies stores and tracks your visits across websites. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. We process preference, analytical and advertising cookies based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or UK GDPR).

You cannot refuse essential cookies, because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with our Services. However, you still can block or delete all cookies by changing your browser settings (eg. Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera) or changing your consent settings here.

What about other tracking technologies?

We may also employ a software technology called clear gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs), which helps us better manage the Site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

We use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of certain communications and our marketing campaigns. Much of this data is aggregated. If you wish to turn off this tracking, you can do so by turning off images in the email itself.

We may update this Cookie Statement from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "EFFECTIVE DATE" at the top of this page. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
