Here at Maya, we are committed to protect each customer’s personal information, and we are transparent about how we handle everyone’s personal information. Accordingly, we developed this Cookie Notice to inform you about our use of cookies across our websites. We want you to understand what cookies are, and how we use them.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of data stored in a browser by a website. The data inside the cookie allows websites to remember preferences, customize your experience and measure campaign performance.
Why are Cookies Used?
Cookies are a convenient way to carry session information on a website, without having to burden a website server with massive amounts of data storage. Storing the data on the server without using cookies may result to bad user experience because it would be difficult to retrieve a user’s information without requiring a login on each page visit to the website.
How Does Maya use Cookies?
We use cookies to understand how people are using our services, so we can make them better interact with our websites, communications, services and selected third party websites primarily with the aim of improving your user experience.
