We use cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, file information and similar technologies (collectively referred to as “cookies”) on our Site(s) (contentful.com or any other website of ours that links to this Cookie Notice).

Our Web App (app.contentful.com), the browser-based web user interface for registered users of the Contentful Services (as defined in our Privacy Notice), also uses cookies in limited circumstances primarily to provide the Contentful Services as described in “Types of cookies that we use” below.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file (often including a unique identifier), that is sent to a user’s browser from, for example, a website and stored on the user’s device. A cookie stores a small amount of data on such a device about a visit to the website, app or service that sets the cookie. A web beacon (also known as a clear GIF or pixel tag) is similar to a cookie. It is typically a one-pixel image located on a web page or in an email or other message. It verifies the viewing or receipt of a web page or a message.
