COOKIE POLICY
At ePLDT, Inc (“ePLDT”), we are committed to safeguarding your personal information, and we wish to be transparent about how we handle your personal information. Accordingly, we developed this Cookie Policy to inform you about our use of cookies across our website. We want you to understand what cookies are, how ePLDT uses cookies and what your choices are.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file, often containing a unique identifier, stored by your web browser when you visit a website. Websites use cookies to help provide certain functions and to personalize your web experience.
HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST IN YOUR BROWSER?
The duration of a cookie varies depending on its function and purpose. Some cookies are ‘session cookies’, which means they only exist when your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser (i.e., retained for zero days).
Other cookies are ‘persistent cookies’, meaning they may be saved in your device after your browser is closed and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you re-open your browser later.
HOW DOES ePLDT USE COOKIES?
ePLDT uses cookies to understand how you interact with our website primarily to improve your user experience. The following is a summary of how ePLDT uses cookies:

Targeting Cookies
ePLDT uses cookies to deliver tailored ePLDT advertising to you. We may work with advertising agencies to place cookies to help deliver ads on third party websites where we purchase advertising. These types of third-party cookies enable us to understand what ePLDT ads you see and interact with, both on our website and on third party websites. This helps us to measure the success of our advertising campaigns. For example, when you click on an ePLDT ad on a third-party website, cookies are used to track the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. As part of this process, we do not disclose your personal information to the third-party website.
In addition to cookies, ePLDT also uses pixel tags which are small transparent images embedded in a web page or an email. We use pixel tags in connection with cookies to help operate our website and emails. For example, ePLDT may include pixel tags in email messages or newsletters to determine whether they are opened or acted on. Third parties may also use pixel tags to help compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of ePLDT promotional campaigns.
