Welcome to pickleballpaddleworld.com (“Website”). This Cookie Policy explains how Pickleball Paddle World uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our Website. It details what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as outlines your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function or to function more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pickleball Paddle World) 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., 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 for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. Below is a more detailed explanation:
- Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Analytics and customization cookies: These cookies collect information used in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.
- Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and, in some cases, selecting advertisements based on your interests.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Note that essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. For more information, you should visit your browser’s help menu.
Changes to our Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our cookies practices. We encourage you to revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
