2. Cookie Policy
Like many websites, Canine Cushing’s Alliance analyzes how visitors use the Platforms through what is known as "cookie" technology. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you access the Platforms and allows us to recognize you each time you visit the Sites. I may use cookies to (1) allow you to use the Platforms without having to reenter your username; (2) enhance or personalize your Platform usage; (3) monitor Platform usage; (4) manage the Platforms; and (5) improve the Platforms and my products and services, including providing you with interest-based ads.
For more information on Canine Cushing’s Alliance advertising, see the “Interest-Based Advertising" section below. If you choose, you can set your browser to reject cookies or you can manually delete individual cookies or all of the cookies on your computer by following your browser’s help file directions. However, if your browser is set to reject cookies or you manually delete cookies, you may have some trouble accessing and using some of the pages and features that are currently on the Platforms, or that I may put on the Platforms in the future. Note that browser-management tools for cookies are outside of my control and I cannot guarantee their effectiveness.
I may also use web beacons on the Platforms, in my emails, and in my advertisements on other websites. Web beacons are tiny graphic images that are used to collect information about your visit to the Platforms, such as the pages you view and the features you use, as well as information about whether you open and/or act upon one of my emails or advertisements. I may also collect the URL of the website you visited immediately before coming to the Platforms. Web beacons help me analyze the Platform visitors’ behavior and measure the effectiveness of the Platforms and our advertising. I may work with service providers that help me track, collect and analyze this information.
I may combine the information I collect through cookies and web beacons with other information I have collected from you or information from other sources.
3. Internet-Based Advertising
I may use on the Platforms third-party advertising companies such as those provided by Google and Facebook that use tracking technologies to serve my advertisements across the Internet. These advertising companies may collect information about your visits to the Platforms and other websites and your interaction with my advertising and other communications. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of Canine Cushing’s Alliance and others on nonaffiliated sites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information collected about your visits to the Platforms and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on the Platforms.
​
You have the choice to tell me not to collect and use this information, and in some jurisdictions, I will only engage in interest-based advertising if you opt-in.
