martimanhenry.com is a personal website that is owned and operated by Martiman P. Henry (“Martiman”, “I”, "me", "myself"). This Cookie Statement explains how I use cookies and similar technologies in the course of my website operations, including through this website that links to this Cookie Statement, such as https://www.martimanhenry.com or any website or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by me, and when our visitors visits my websites or e-commerce stores operated by me or open or interact with emails delivered through my Service. It explains what these technologies are and why I use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Cookie Statement have the meanings given to those terms in our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use.

In some cases, I may use cookies and other tracking technologies described in this Cookie Statement to collect Personal Information or to collect information that becomes Personal Information if we combine it with other information. For more information about how we process your Personal Information, please consult our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit my website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to (for example) make their websites or services work, or to work more efficiently, personalize user experience as well as provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner or service provider (in this case, martimanhenry.com) 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 or service you are using (such as advertising, interactive content and analytics). The third parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website or service in question and also when it visits certain other websites or services.

Why do I use cookies and other tracking technologies?

I use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for my website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track and target the interests of visitors to my sites, and I refer to these as “performance” or “functionality” cookies. For example, I use cookies to tailor content and information that I may send or display to you and otherwise personalize your experience while interacting with my website and to otherwise improve the functionality of the content I provide.

Cookies served through my website

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through my website and the purposes they perform are described in further detail below:

Essential Website Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through my website and to use some of its features, such as disabling certain features. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver my website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how my website perform. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described under the heading "How can I control cookies?" in this Cookie Statement.

Other tracking technologies

I along with third-party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, SDKs, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. Pixels are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable me to recognize when someone has visited my website or, in the case of web beacons, opened an email that I sent them. This allows me, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of visitors from one page within my website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to my website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair the functionality of these technologies.

My email campaigns

I automatically place single-pixel gifs, also known as web beacons, in every email sent via newsletter service. These are tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable me to recognize when contacts have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each Contact’s email address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for a campaign. I use this data to create reports about how an email campaign performed and what actions Contacts took.

Member sites/Third Party Websites

Google remarketing ads: My Google remarketing ads feature (also known as web retargeting ads) allows me to create and manage advertisements on the Google Display Network. When a visitor elects to visit my website, I may install a Google tracking pixel through the Snippet. The Snippet also allows me to set a Mailchimp cookie that will recognize Connected Site end-users via ads placed with the Google remarketing ads feature. These technologies facilitate the placement of advertising campaigns on the Google Display Network and enable me to provide reporting about the performance of these advertising campaigns. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading “How can I control cookies?” Alternatively, please click on the relevant opt-out link here:https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

Facebook ads (including Facebook remarketing ads): My Facebook ads feature allows me to display ads to my visitors and others within the Facebook platform by installing a Facebook tracking pixel on my website through the Snippet. The Snippet may also allow me to set a cookie that will recognize visitors via ads placed with the Facebook ads feature. These tracking technologies facilitate the placement of advertising campaigns on the Facebook platform and enable me to provide reporting on the performance of these advertising campaigns. Facebook does not provide an opt-out link for its cookies. For more information about Facebook cookies, please click here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading “How can I control cookies?”
Popup forms: The Snippet will allow me to deploy a Mailchimp cookie that recognizes whether a visitor on my website has previously viewed a popup form and ensures the same visitor does not see the form again for a period of up to one year. To refuse this cookie, please follow the instructions below under the heading “How can I control cookies?”

Google Analytics: Our Google Analytics feature allows me to use Google Analytics to better understand visitors. When someone visits my website, a Google tracking pixel is installed through the Snippet.

How can I control cookies?

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

Website Cookie Preference Tool: You can exercise preferences about what cookies are served on my website by visiting our cookie settings preference centre, available here: Privacy Settings.

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 my website though your access to some functionality and areas of my website may be restricted. As for how 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.

Disabling Most Interest Based Advertising: Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of Interest Based Advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

Mobile Advertising: You can opt out of having your mobile advertising identifiers used for certain types of Interest Based Advertising, including those performed by me, by accessing the settings in your Apple or Android mobile device and following the most recent published instructions. If you opt out, I will remove all data about you and no further data collection or tracking will occur. The random ID I (or our third-party partners) had previously assigned to you will also be removed. This means that if at a later stage, you decide to opt-in, we will not be able to continue and track you using the same ID as before, and you will for all practical purposes be a new end user to our system.

Do Not Track: Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, my website, Connected Sites, Landing Pages, and Websites do not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals. Please note that I take privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”, please visit All About Do Not Track.

How often will you update this Cookie Statement?

I may update this Cookie Statement from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies I use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please, therefore, re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the bottom of this Cookie Statement indicates when it was last updated.
