Cookie Policy for Trend Radar

Last updated: [Insert Date]

This Cookie Policy explains how Trend Radar (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. 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, Trend Radar) 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).

Types of Cookies We Use

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 also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our properties. The specific types of 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. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our website and how users use our website. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. It includes the number of visitors to our website, the websites that referred them to our website, the pages they visited on our website, what time of day they visited our website, whether they have visited our website before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our website more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity on our website.

Advertising and Targeting 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.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Trend Radar uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

  • DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Personalization: These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history.

You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy. Furthermore, third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Trend Radar, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
