Meta Horizon Managed Solutions Cookie Policy
Effective date: 13 November 2023
What are cookies, and what does this policy cover?
Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies are used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, phones and other devices. Other technologies, including data that we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as "cookies".
This policy explains how we use cookies when you use a Meta Account managed by your organisation to access our Sites. Except as otherwise stated in this policy, the Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of the data we collect via cookies.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us provide, protect and improve our Sites such as by personalising content, tailoring and measuring ads, and providing a safer experience. The cookies that we use include session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser and persistent cookies, which stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them. The cookies we use and how we use them may change over time as we improve and update the Sites. We primarily use them for the following purposes:
Authentication
We use cookies to verify your account and determine when you're logged in so we can make it easier for you to access the Sites and show you the appropriate experience and features. For example: We use cookies to keep you logged in as you navigate between pages. Cookies also help us remember your browser so you do not have to keep logging in.
Security, site and product integrity
We use cookies to help us keep your account, data and the Sites safe and secure. For example: Cookies can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone may be attempting to access an account without authorisation, for instance, by rapidly guessing different passwords. We also use cookies to store information that allows us to recover your account in the event that you've forgotten your password or to require additional authentication if you tell us your account has been hacked.
We also use cookies to combat activity that violates our policies or otherwise degrades our ability to provide the Sites.
Site features and services
We use cookies to provide functionality that helps us provide the Site to you. For example: Cookies help us store preferences, know when you've seen or interacted with content and provide you with customised content and experiences.
We also use cookies to help provide you with content relevant to your locale. For example: We store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so you will see the Site in your preferred language.
Performance
We use cookies to provide you with the best experience possible. For example: Cookies help us route traffic between servers and understand how quickly the Site loads for different people. Cookies also help us record the ratio and dimensions of your screen and windows and to know whether you've enabled high-contrast mode, so that we can render our sites and apps correctly.
Analytics and research
We use cookies to better understand how people use the Site so that we can improve them. For example: Cookies can help us understand how people use the Site, analyse which parts of the Site people find most useful and engaging, and identify features that could be improved.
Where do we use cookies?
We may place cookies on your computer or device, and receive information stored in cookies, when you use or visit:
- work.meta.com and its subdomains, and
- secure.oculus.com and its subdomains (collectively, the "Sites").
How can you control our use of cookies?
Your browser or device may offer settings that allow you to choose whether browser cookies are set and to delete them. For more information about these controls, visit your browser or device's help material. Certain parts of the Site may not work properly if you have disabled browser cookie use.
