Cookies remember information about your activities on the Website to make your visits to the Website more enjoyable and valuable to you by providing a customized experience and recognizing your preferences when you visit the Website. If you’ve chosen to disable cookies on your browser, some of the functionality of the Website may be lost. Certain web pages or services provided by LunarG require that cookies be enabled in your browser and cannot be used when you have disabled cookies in your browser.

Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, remembering your username and password, letting us analyze how well our website is performing, and improving your experience.  Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate.  Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to our Website.  For example, we use cookies to tailor content and information that we may send or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with our Website and to otherwise improve the functionality of the services we provide.  Finally, third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.  This is described in more detail below.

What cookies do we use?

Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests.  We sometimes use cookies delivered by third parties to track the performance of our advertisements.  For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited our Website.  The information provided to third parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after we receive it.  This process helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on the Website or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking Website such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.  The social network will record that you have done this.  This information may be linked to targeting/ advertising activities.

You can remove or disable cookies via your browser by referring to your browser’s configuration documentation, since the steps for doing so are usually browser-specific.  Removing or disabling cookies might adversely impact your ability to use our Website effectively.  Enabling cookies ensures a smoother experience when you use our Website.  For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Interest-based advertising.  Some of our advertising partners that collect information about users’ activities on or through the Website may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising. You can use the following opt-out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:

• Digital Advertising Alliance:  http://optout.aboutads.info
• Network Advertising Initiative: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
• European users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here: https://youronlinechoices.eu/, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly titled link).

Some of the third party advertising companies we work with offer their own opt-out options that you can use to limit their use of your information for interest-based advertising, including those listed above.  Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you.  Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed. You can also limit collection of your information for interest-based ads by blocking third party cookies in your browser settings or using privacy plug-ins or ad blocking software that help you block third party cookies.  In addition, your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for targeted online advertising purposes.
