This Cookie Policy explains how Tech To Thrive, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://techtothrive.com ("Website") and any associated webpages or subdomains. It provides information on these technologies, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites function properly, work more efficiently, and gather reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Tech To Thrive) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other parties are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionalities to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, analytics). These parties can recognize your computer when you visit the website in question and when you visit other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

Tech To Thrive uses first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are essential for technical reasons to make our Website operate efficiently—these are known as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies help us track user interests, enhance user experience, or provide customized content. Third-party cookies serve advertising, analytics, and other functions, as described in more detail below.

The specific types of cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described under the sections 'Essential First-Party Cookies,' 'Performance and Functionality Cookies,' and 'Analytics and Customization Cookies' below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:

As the way to refuse cookies via browser controls varies from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

What about other tracking technologies like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors. We may also use other, similar technologies such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files containing a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email containing them. This helps us monitor traffic patterns, deliver cookies, understand the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns, and measure the success of email marketing efforts.

In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly. Therefore, declining cookies will impair the functionality of web beacons and other tracking technologies.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
