This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on charisloans.com and does not govern the information practices or the content of such other Websites. Charis Loans encourages you to review the Privacy Policies of other Websites to understand their information practices.

5. Cookies

Charis Loans uses cookies to make interactions with the Website easy and meaningful. When a user visits the Website, Charis Loans’ servers send a cookie to the user’s computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you. They merely recognize your web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Charis Loans, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a web form (such as a “Contact Me” or a “30-Day Free Trial” web form), you remain anonymous to Charis Loans.

There are two types of cookies: session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.

If you have chosen to identify yourself to Charis Loan, Charis Loans uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow Charis Loans to uniquely identify you. Each time you log into the Website, a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account is placed in your browser. These session cookies allow Charis Loans to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the Website and to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies are required to use the Website.

Charis Loans uses persistent cookies that only Charis Loans can read and use to identify browsers that have previously visited Charis Loans’ Website. When you access the Website or provide Charis Loans with personal information, a unique identifier is assigned to you. This unique identifier is associated with a persistent cookie that Charis Loans places on your web browser. Charis Loans is especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, Charis Loans Lending does not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. If you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate Charis Loans’ Website, but you will not be able to successfully use the Website.

6. Web Beacons

Charis Loans uses web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about users’ usage of the Website. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Website tied to the web beacon, and a description of a Website tied to the web beacon. For example, Charis Loans may place web beacons in marketing e-mails that notify Charis Loans when you click on a link in the e-mail that directs you to one of Charis Loans’ Websites. Charis Loans uses web beacons to operate and improve the Company’s Websites and e-mail communications. Charis Loans may use information from web beacons in combination with data about users to provide you with information about Charis Loans.
