Cookie Policy
Tracy Anderson Method(“COMPANY”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies to provide functionality and enhance the user experience for those who visit our website (“visitors” or “users”). This Policy describes how we do this and how such cookies are managed.
What are cookies?
Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer or other mobile or handheld device (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit certain pages on the internet. They are used to “remember” when your computer or device accesses this website. Cookies are stored in your browser. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you as a person (personal data), and will instead collect more general information such as how visitors arrive at and use our website. Cookies may, however, be used to create a profile of the visitor’s activities on the Internet.
Types of cookies
Session cookies
Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor’s device when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed pre-defined period of time (usually a couple of months) and not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to be able to recognize your device for more than one browsing session. Persistent cookies used on this website have a maximum storage period of twelve months, please see below for further details.
First–party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and they can only be read by that site.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are set by a different organization to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our website or we might engage a third party analytics company who will set their own cookie to perform this service.
Categories of cookies
The different types of cookies set out above can be categorized as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies:
These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off. They allow us to provide services pursuant to your express requests. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our website may not work if you block these types of cookies.
Analytical/performance cookies:
These allow us to analyze site usage, namely to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that visitors are finding what they are looking for easily. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not consent to these types of cookies we will not be able to improve our websites based on information from your visit.
Functionality cookies:
These cookies are used to provide certain functionalities to you by recognizing you when you return to our website so that we can offer you a better experience on this website. For instance, this enables us to set a cookie to store your preferences regarding the cookies on our website.
Targeting cookies:
These cookies are used to tailor advertising to your interests, both within and beyond our websites. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it, and the marketing messages we send to you more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties who provide a service to us for this purpose. These cookies are sometimes also referred to as advertising cookies. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign and to monitor from which advertising source a visitor was directed towards our website so that we know whether it is worth us investing in that particular advertising source.
These cookies may be set through our site or by our third party advertising partners. They may be used by those advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and Internet device. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising (but not less advertising overall).
Social Media Cookies:
Social Media cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the website to enable you to share our content with your friends, colleagues, and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites that you visit. If you do allow these cookies, you may be unable to use or see these sharing tools.
