Draup Inc., 24 Waterway Ave, Suite 850, The Woodlands, TX 77380, ("Draup") (hereinafter: “the company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the owner and provider of https://draup.com/ and its various sub-domains (hereinafter collectively referred to as: the website or site), in connection with which it processes certain website visitor information and personal data as a controller of personal data. One of the ways we do this is through the use of "cookie" technology, whereby small text files are stored on the visitor's computer. We use cookies only to read the information that was stored on your hard drive by the cookie that was placed in connection with our website or our partners' websites, with the exact list of such cookies and their functions given below.
1. General information about cookies
1.1. What are cookies
“Cookies” are a technology used by modern websites to collect and store certain settings and technical information of the website visitor, with which it is possible to identify certain characteristics of an individual visitor. This information reveals, among other things, when and how visitors use the website and allows the company to continually improve its site. The use of cookies is a common and widespread practice on many modern websites.
The company can also use its own cookies and the cookies of its advertising partners to advertise its products and services to relevant visitors elsewhere on the Internet (i.e., not just on its own website), whereby the company does this only when granted the consent of an individual visitor to install optional cookies that are provided to the company by its advertising partners.
Agreeing to the installation of cookies can also offer you certain advantages as a visitor, such as saving your settings, filling out various forms with pre-prepared entries, better adaptation of the website to your device or your needs, etc.
2. Your permission to install cookies
When visiting our website, a pop-up window shall notify you that, except for the installation of our necessary cookies (which are required for the normal operation of the website, e.g., saving your settings or adjusting the display dimensions to your device):
- “Accept” – By clicking “Accept”, you allow us to store analytics and marketing cookies on your device, in addition to the strictly necessary cookies that are always active. Before you give this consent, our analytics tool (Google Analytics 4) runs in a limited, privacy-friendly mode that does not use cookies and only produces aggregated, non-identifying statistics.
- “Reject” – By clicking “Reject”, no analytics or marketing cookies will be installed, and only the necessary cookies required for website functionality will remain active. Our analytics tool may continue to operate in its limited, cookie-less mode so that we can measure basic site usage without storing identifiers on your device.
- “Preferences” – By clicking “Preferences”, visitors can open the “Manage Consent Preferences by Category” section to customize which categories of optional cookies (for example, analytics and/or marketing cookies) they consent to. Necessary cookies remain enabled and cannot be disabled through these settings.
Installed cookies can also be removed at any time, in accordance with the instructions below.
Do not click the buttons for installing individual types of cookies when visiting our website if you do not want cookies to be installed on your device when visiting our website. Should you wish to remove the cookies that might have been installed previously, please follow the procedure laid down below.
Removal or blocking of cookies may result in suboptimal operation of this website.
3. How Long Cookies Last
The website uses both “session Cookies” and “persistent Cookies.” Session Cookies operate during the time you visit our websites or until the end of a particular web browsing session. They expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent Cookies do not expire when you close your browser. They remain on your browser or device until the time they are set to expire (which varies by Cookie) or until you delete them (e.g., through your browser settings).
4. Descriptions of individual services offered by our advertising partners
Google Analytics (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (“Google Analytics”), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our services.
Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay on them and how you navigate our site. In our configuration:
- IP addresses are anonymised by Google before storage.
- We do not use the “User-ID” feature and we do not send names, email addresses or similar directly identifying information to Google Analytics.
- Data is retained only for a limited period in line with our data-minimisation practices.
We also use Google’s Consent Mode. This means that, before you have given consent for analytics cookies, Google Analytics operates in a restricted, privacy-friendly mode where no analytics cookies are stored on your device and only limited, aggregated measurement data is collected. If you consent to analytics cookies via our cookie banner, Google Analytics may then set cookies and use more detailed information (such as approximate location and device characteristics) to provide us with richer usage statistics.
In jurisdictions where consent is required (such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom), the legal basis for placing analytics cookies is your consent. You can refuse analytics cookies when first visiting the site or change your choices at any time using the cookie settings available on our website.
For more information about how Google processes data, please see Google’s privacy and security information at https://policies.google.com/privacy and its information on technologies such as cookies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
5. How to manage cookies?
You may choose which cookies to install through our cookie pop-up. You can also control and change cookie settings in your own web browser.
In case you want to delete cookies from your device, we advise you to follow the described procedures. By doing so, you will most likely limit the functionality of not only our website but also most other websites, as the majority of modern websites use cookies.
