What are cookies?
This website uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are very small text documents or pieces of code that often contain a unique identification code. When you visit a website or use a mobile application, a computer asks your computer or mobile device for permission to save this file on your computer or mobile device and gain access to information. Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of the visit and how you use a particular website or mobile application. Some of these documents or pieces of code alone, or combined with other data, may contain information that can identify you and are therefore considered personal information (personal data).
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for varying reasons. Cookies make sure that during your visit of our site you remain logged in, you can browse safely and the website keeps running smoothly. The cookies also ensure that we can see how our website is used and how we can improve it. Furthermore, our cookies may be used to present you with targeted advertisements that match your personal interests.
Types of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are classified as cookies that must be present for the website to provide its basic functions. They are essential to be able to access features of the website like signing in to the user account, adding items to the cart, or navigating back and forth between pages without losing previous actions from the same session. They are typically essential first-party session cookies, but not all first-party cookies are strictly necessary cookies.
Statistics and Analytics cookies
Statistical and analytics cookies, often also referred to as performance cookies, are cookies used specifically for gathering data on the performance of the site as the users interact with it, to allow us to make improvements to the website. These cookies count page visits, idle time by a user on a page, bounce rates, load speeds, etc. While performance cookies can be third party cookies, they’re usually first party cookies that are either session or persistent cookies.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember the user’s site preferences and choices the user makes on the site to boost the user experience. They are anonymous and don’t track browsing activity across other websites. Functionality cookies can include first party, third party, persistent or session cookies.
Marketing & Retargeting cookies
Marketing and retargeting cookies are specifically designed to gather information from the user on their device to display advertisements based on relevant topics that interest them. The information these cookies gather may be shared with other advertisers to measure the performance of their advertisements. Additionally, another purpose of marketing and retargeting cookies is to build user profiles from visitors to the website to gather statistics on the performance of the advertisements that can carry across many websites. These cookies are almost always third-party, persistent cookies. This means that the cookies can follow the user as they visit other websites. Examples of marketing and retargeting cookies include social media cookies that track users around the web to provide ads to them on social media platforms.

Consequently, the use of third-party cookies, especially third-party marketing and retargeting and statistical cookies on the website may be considered the “sale” of personal information under the CCPA.
If you are a resident of California, to the extent that Teqball USA “sells” your personal information collected through third-party cookies on this website, you have to right to opt-out of such “sale” at any time. You can do so by submitting a request thereto as laid out on the following page: DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. Once we receive your request, we will reach out to you to verify your request and identity.
