Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy refers exclusively to the CAD Rooms Platform (“Platform”) on cadrooms.com, including any subdomains, mobile versions, or localized versions. It explains how and why Wikifactory Ltd (“Wikifactory”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “ours”) uses Cookies and other similar technologies (e.g., pixels, web beacons, clear GIFs) to provide a reliable and enhanced Platform and services to our Users. This Cookies Policy must be read and understood as an integral part of CAD Rooms' Privacy Policy.

1. Definitions and Characteristics of Cookies and Similar Technologies

A “cookie” is a small text file placed and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, mobile app, or online platform. Cookies help online service providers like CAD Rooms serve different purposes, such as enhancing user experience, understanding usage patterns, and offering personalized services.

Pixels, web beacons, and clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, used to track user interactions on the Platform and with our content. We use these to personalize content, understand User behavior, and gauge the effectiveness of our communications, including emails.

Cookies can either be temporary (deleted automatically at the end of a session) or permanent (stored on the User’s device until deleted by the User or they expire). CAD Rooms uses cookies to recognize Users across sessions, remember preferences, and provide customer support or targeted messaging.

The Platform places both First-Party Cookies (set directly by Wikifactory) and Third-Party Cookies (set by other domains or services), enabling personalized features, functionalities, and analytics. Trusted partners like Google and LinkedIn also use cookies to provide relevant advertising and enhance Platform functionality on landing pages only.
