This document explains how Moxie Trail uses small data files placed on visitor devices on moxietrail.com (the “Site”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes our overall approach to information collected through the Site.
What These Files Are
These small files are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work effectively, to remember user preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how the site is being used. They do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but they may be combined with other information to identify users.
Types We Use
Essential files are necessary for the Site to function properly. They allow you to navigate the Site and use core features. The Site cannot function correctly without these.
Performance files collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are most visited and how visitors navigate through the Site. We use this information to understand reader engagement and improve our content. These do not identify individual users.
Functional files allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region. They provide enhanced features and personalization.
Advertising files are used by ad networks like Google AdSense to deliver advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests. These track your activity across the Site and other sites you visit. You can opt out of personalized advertising through industry tools described below.
Third-Party Files
Some files on our Site are placed by third parties, including analytics providers and advertising networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern the information they collect. We do not control these third-party files, but we work with services that maintain reasonable privacy practices.
Google Analytics, which we use to understand Site usage, places these files to track aggregated user behavior. Google AdSense and other advertising partners may also place such files to deliver and measure advertisements.
Managing These Files
Most browsers allow you to control these files through their settings. You can typically delete files that have been placed on your device, refuse to accept new ones, and configure your browser to notify you when they are being placed. The specific steps vary by browser; please consult your browser’s help documentation.
Please note that disabling these files may affect the functionality of the Site. Some features may not work correctly or may be unavailable if they are blocked.
Opting Out of Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising through several industry tools. The Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, and Google’s Ads Settings all provide options to limit the use of advertising tracking. These tools allow you to opt out of personalized ads while still seeing general advertising.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy as our use of these technologies changes or as we add new services. Material changes will be communicated through prominent notice on the Site or through other appropriate means.
