Vocally Speaking ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, http://vocallyspeaking.com/ (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Vocally Speaking) 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).

2. How and why do we use cookies?

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, analyze our traffic, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

3. Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly Necessary & Functional Cookies These cookies are essential for our Website to function properly and securely. Because our Website is built on Squarespace, Squarespace automatically places these necessary cookies on your device to allow you to navigate the site, use its features, and ensure the site loads securely.

• Cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

B. Analytics and Performance Cookies These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used. We only place these cookies on your device if you acknowledge and accept our cookie banner.

• Squarespace Analytics: Helps us view Website traffic, activity, and other data (e.g., clicks, internal links, pages visited, scrolling, searches, and timestamps).

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze how visitors interact with our site. This tool uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

C. Advertising and Targeting Cookies These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We only place these cookies on your device with your explicit consent.

• Facebook (Meta) Pixel: We use the Facebook Pixel to track user behavior after you have been redirected to our Website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to build custom audiences for future advertising. The data collected is anonymous to us, but it is stored and processed by Meta, which may link it to your Facebook account and use it for their own advertising purposes.

4. Third-Party Services and Pixels

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, like web beacons or pixels (such as the Facebook Pixel mentioned above). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to improve site performance.

Our Website also uses Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts to properly display text. While these services do not traditionally use cookies to track users, they may collect your IP address and browser information to serve the font files to your device.

5. How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

• Cookie Banner: When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies (Analytics and Advertising cookies).

• Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. 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. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

• Meta/Facebook Ad Settings: You can control how Meta uses your data to show you ads by visiting your Facebook Ad Preferences settings in your Facebook account.

• Google Analytics Opt-out: You can opt out of having your site activity available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

6. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect 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.
