Cookie policy

This cookie policy (“Policy”) describes what cookies are and how they’re being used by the branding-magazine.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”). This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and Smokybrands Marketing Agency LLC (“Smokybrands Marketing Agency LLC”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this Policy on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Policy, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, you must not accept this Policy and may not access and use the Website and Services.

You should read this Policy so you can understand the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. It also describes the choices available to you regarding accepting or declining the use of cookies. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our privacy policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to remember you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used during the course of your visit to the Website, and they expire when you close the web browser.

Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within our Website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for you while visiting the Website and Services.

Cookies may be set by the Website (“first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the Website (“third-party cookies”). These third parties can recognize you when you visit our website and also when you visit certain other websites.

What type of cookies do we use?

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies allow us to offer you the best possible experience when accessing and navigating through our Website and using its features. For example, these cookies let us recognize that you have created an account and have logged into that account to access the content.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies let us operate the Website and Services in accordance with the choices you make. For example, we will recognize your username and remember how you customized the Website and Services during future visits.

Analytical cookies

These cookies enable us and third-party services to collect aggregated data for statistical purposes on how our visitors use the Website. These cookies may collect identifiers and online activity information (such as IP address or device identifiers) and are used to help us measure site performance and improve your user experience.

Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies allow us and third parties to serve ads to you, measure ad performance, limit ad frequency, and help us understand and improve the delivery of ads. Depending on your choices and your location, advertising cookies may be used to personalize ads or to deliver contextual ads.

Third-party cookies and advertising

We display advertising provided by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, and we may also sell advertising placements directly. Advertising partners and other third parties may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, or similar technologies to collect information about users for the purpose of delivering, measuring, and personalizing advertisements in accordance with their own privacy policies.

In some jurisdictions, the use of certain advertising and analytics technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Where required, we provide ways to opt out of such processing (for example via a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or an opt-out page referenced in our privacy policy).

Your web browser may request advertisements directly from ad network servers, and these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their website.

We do not provide personal information such as your name or email address directly to advertisers solely for the purpose of ad delivery. However, third-party ad partners may collect information from your device or browser and use it to show you ads and to measure advertising effectiveness, subject to their policies.

Do we use web beacons or tracking pixels?

We do not use tracking pixels or web beacons in emails, as we do not send marketing newsletters or email campaigns.

However, we and our partners may use similar technologies (such as pixels or tags) on the Website itself for analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking purposes, in accordance with this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy.

What are your cookie options?

If you don’t like the idea of cookies or certain types of cookies, you can change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies. Visit internetcookies.com to learn more about how to do this.

Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or do not accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features the Website and Services offer.

An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and Services after the effective date of the revised Policy (or such other act specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those changes.
