This Cookies Policy explains how Triple3JSolutions Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on The Metal App website and mobile application (“our Services”).

- What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your device’s memory. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (Internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires), and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie may also contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history, and activities conducted while using our services.
Other technologies such as web beacons (also called pixels, tags, or clear gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs) are used for similar purposes as cookies. Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier, enabling us to recognize when someone has visited our service or opened an email we’ve sent them. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps that function like cookies and web beacons. For simplicity, we also refer to these technologies as “cookies” in this Cookies Policy.
