This Cookie Policy explains how Thrive Flower, doing business as Thrive Flower (“Thrive Flower”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to
recognize you when you visit our website(s), (“Websites”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
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 in order 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, Thrive Flower, llc) 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 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 Cookies Are Used
We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as
“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies serves through our Website(s) and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending the specific Online Properties you visit):
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our websites but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
Analytics and customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website(s) are being used or how effective our marking campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website(s) 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 that are based on your interests.
Social Networking Cookies
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website(s) through third party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (somethings called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website(s) or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website(s) to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website(s) from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Flash Cookies And Local Shared Objects?
Our website(s) may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also knows as Local Shared Objects or “LSO’s”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, or for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSO’s from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 or Later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Targeted Advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website(s). These companies may use information about your visits to this or other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
Controlling Cookies?
You can set or amend your web browsing controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website(s) though your access to some functionality and areas of our website(s) may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls may vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://aboutads.info/choices or http://www.youronlinechoises.com.
