platforms faster and easier, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, eFounders) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set
by parties other than the website and/or mobile app and/or platform owner are called “third party
cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through

platforms.

in   this   Privacy   Policy,   and,   in   applicable   jurisdictions,   through   notice   and   unambiguous
acknowledgement of your consent, you agree to such use.

“strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users
