Searchlight Capital Partners (“we”, “our”, “us”), use cookies and other technologies such as plugins (“Tracking Technologies”) to improve user experience and measure site performance, when you use our website (at https://www.searchlightcap.com/) and our services (together, the “Services”). This policy tells you more about Tracking Technologies and how we use them in our Services.
You can change the settings for the Tracking Technologies we use in our Services at any time in our preference center.
If you do not accept the use of these Tracking Technologies, please disable them by following the instructions in this policy below or by changing your browser settings so that Tracking Technologies from our Services cannot be placed on your computer or device.
We may change this policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to the way we handle your personal data in relation to Tracking Technologies, we will let you know by posting an updated version of this policy on our website.
WHAT ARE OUR TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
When you visit or access our Services, we use (and authorize third parties to use) cookies.
- Essential and Analytics Cookies. Cookies are small text files, stored on your browser, that uniquely identify your browser or device. Essential Cookies improve your user experience, for example, by making our website work in a more efficient way. Analytics Cookies track user engagement and measure site performance. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
Tracking Technologies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some Tracking Technologies exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other Tracking Technologies survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by us to recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
HOW DO WE USE TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We use first party and third party Tracking Technologies. First party Tracking Technologies are set directly by us whereas third party Tracking Technologies are set by a third party (for example by Google Analytics).
We use Tracking Technologies that perform the following functions:
- Essential Tracking Technologies, which are essential to the functioning of our Services, to provide a service requested by you or to comply with the law (e.g. the security requirements of data protection law). We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies and these Tracking Technologies cannot be turned off as we cannot provide the Services without them.
- Analytics Tracking Technologies, which enable us to collect information about your online activity (e.g. the duration of your use of the Services), including behavioral data and content engagement. They allow us to provide you with a better user experience and to maintain, operate and continually improve the Services. You may give or revoke consent for us to use these cookies.
The table below sets out a type of Tracking Technology we and our partners use in connection with the Services, and the purposes for which we use them.
