This Cookie Policy
explains how Woods and Waters Publishing LC
(" Company
", "we", "us", and
"our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our
websites at
https://woodsandwatersmagazine.com , ("Websites"). It explains what these
technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we
may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine
it with other information.
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, Woods and Waters Publishing LC ) 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 do we use
cookies?
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 served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please
note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you
visit):
How can I control
cookies?
You have the right
to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your
preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which
categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are
strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Consent
Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. 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. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. 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.
In addition, most
advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find

are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use
some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
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 (sometimes 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 Websites or opened an
e-mail including them . This allows us, for
example, to monitor the traffic patterns of
users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies,
to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement
displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the
success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant
on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their
functioning.
Do you use Flash
cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local
Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our
services, fraud prevention and 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 LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being
asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by
the operator of the page you are on at the time).
Please note that
setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the
functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in
connection with our services or online content.
Do you serve targeted
advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve
advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and
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 or web beacons to collect information
about your visits to this and other sites 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.

you update this Cookie Policy?
We may
update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for
example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.

and related technologies.
