This Cookie Policy explains how PrepWay ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://prep-way.com (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, PrepWay) 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., like analytics, advertising, and interactive content). 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.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order 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 analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:
- Essential 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. Without these cookies, the services that you have requested cannot be provided. - Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. - Analytics and Customization Cookies
We use analytics cookies, including those provided by Google Analytics, to collect information about how users access and interact with our Website. This data helps us improve the performance and user experience of our Website. - Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring ads are displayed properly, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided below. Please note that essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the operation of the Website.
Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you choose to refuse cookies, some parts of our Website may not function as intended.
Google Analytics: To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, visit Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set your cookie preferences by adjusting your browser settings, managing settings on our Website, or by using opt-out options for specific third-party services as described below.
1. Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can choose to accept or refuse cookies, delete cookies, or clear any previously stored cookies. Be aware that if you disable cookies, some parts of our Website may not function properly.
2. Google Analytics Opt-Out
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our Website is being used. If you prefer that your data not be collected by Google Analytics, you can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.
3. Advertising Cookies Opt-Out
For advertising cookies, you can manage your preferences through the following platforms:
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) for users in the United States
- Your Online Choices for users in the European Union
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
These organizations offer options to manage your preferences for online advertising. Note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads, but rather that ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
4. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. As there is no consistent industry standard for DNT signals, we currently do not respond to DNT signals. We will update this policy if standards evolve and we begin to honor such requests.
5. Cookie Management on Our Website
Our website may offer a cookie settings tool that enables you to manage which types of cookies are set on your device. You can adjust these settings to customize your cookie preferences for essential, functionality, analytics, and advertising cookies. These preferences will apply only to our Website.
Please note that rejecting cookies or opting out of certain types of cookies may affect your experience on our Website. Essential cookies cannot be opted out of as they are necessary for the functioning of the Website.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices 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.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at hello@prep-way.com.
