It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers in order to (for example) make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Adept Traveler, Inc.) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies? We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Service and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Service you access):
Essential Cookies. We may use essential cookies to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts.
Analytics Cookies. We may use analytics cookies to track information on how our Service is used so that we can make improvements. For example, we may use analytics cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our visitors interact with the website. You can read Google's privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Advertising Cookies. Advertising cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.
Third-Party Cookies. We may use third-party cookies to assist with analyzing how our Service is used. For example, we may use third-party cookies to understand how users arrived at our Service, and to track users as they move around our Service.
