A cookie is a small file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser on your device when you visit a website. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. The cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies help us provide you with a better website by tailoring the website operations to your needs and to respond to you as an individual user such as identifying which pages you find useful and which you do not.

Facebook as an example of Social Media Integration

Roar integrates with different social media to the benefit of communicating with you. In order to explain how some social media works we have set out below one example of how your data is used in this case by Facebook. Other social media use your data in different ways and you should review the privacy policy of each provider should you be concerned.

The social network Facebook is headquartered at 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Facebook is used and to get Facebook information about Roar Customers and Suppliers. An overview of Facebook integrations and social plugins can be found here: Facebook documentationhttp://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When users enable the Facebook connection in their settings, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user's device and the Facebook server. Thereby, Roar receives information about the user.

When users invite friends via Facebook, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user's device and the Facebook server. That allows the user to gain information about his or her friends via Roar. Roar as the provider of its Services does not receive any of this information.

When users share their information on Facebook and when they invite friends via Facebook, the Facebook integration establishes a connection between a user's device and the Facebook server. Thereby, the user links information on Roar to his or her Facebook account. That allows Facebook to correlate a user's usage of Roar with the corresponding user's Facebook account. Roar as the provider of Roar does not have any knowledge of the future data usage by Facebook. Users can find more information on that issue in the privacy policy of Facebook at: Facebook Privacy Policyhttp://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Users have to actively enable the Facebook connection in their settings in order to be able to share information on Facebook and invite friends via Facebook. If users do not want Facebook to gain information on their Roar usage or if they don't want Roar to gain information about them via Facebook, they should leave the Facebook integration disabled as it is in the default settings. Once enabled, users can disable the Facebook connection again in their Settings at any time.

By activating the Facebook connection in his or her settings, the user explicitly consents to the information exchange described in this section. Any data arising from the use of Facebook will be located outside the UK or EEA and subject to transmissions between the UK and elsewhere.
