Cookies, which may be html files, Flash files or other technology, are small text files that help store user preferences and activity ("Cookies"). A Cookie is placed on a Device when that Device is used to access or visit the Service. Cookies may be used for purposes such as remembering you and your preferences, tracking your visits to the Service and customizing your experience on the Service. You may configure your browser or Device to block the use of certain cookies. You may also make use of our cookie consent tool to amend your choices, which can be found https://fate-go.us/. However, please note that if you choose to disable cookies on your Device, some features of the Service and Our online offerings may not function properly.
Web Beacons, also known as image tags, pixel tags, clear GIFS or web bugs, are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses (“Web Beacons”). Web Beacons or similar technologies may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Service, to monitor how users navigate the Service, to count how many sent emails were actually opened or to determine whether content sent was actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts: An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from Our server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Service, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Ad Serving and Traffic Measurement Services
We license technology to serve advertisements on the Service and within its videos and other content as that content is served across the Internet.

Cookies and web beacons, including those set by third party network advertisers, may be used to, among other things, target advertisements, prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, or conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.

Please note that third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit or use the Service or other online websites and services. For example, some third parties' embedded content or plugins on the Service, such as social media sharing tools, allow their operators to learn that you have visited or interacted with the Service, and they may combine this information with other, identifiable information they have collected about your visits to other websites or online services. These third parties may handle this information, and other information they directly collect through their content and plugins, pursuant to their own privacy policies.

How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, the Service do not respond to such signals, except where required by law.

We may receive Personal Data about you from our third party partners.

You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as Facebook applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party property, or otherwise linking the Service with another property) through which you allow Us to collect (or the third party to share) your Personal Data. When you choose to participate, you may be opting to link your activity on the Service with that third-party property, which may then collect information about your visits to the Service and may publish that activity as you request to your "profile" or similar feature with that third party (such as if you choose to share content you find on one of the Service with your "connections" on the third party's property). The Personal Data We collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. However, the Personal Data collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including whether the third party continues to share information with Us or with other third parties, the types of information shared, and your choices regarding what is visible to others on that third party's property.
