This Cookie Policy explains how Aldo Leopold Foundation
("Company," "we," "us," and
"our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you
when you visit our website at
https://aldoleopold.org
("Website"). 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,
Aldo Leopold Foundation) 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). 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
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 Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our
Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more
detail below.
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.
The
specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and
the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the
specific cookies served may vary
depending on the specific Online Properties you
visit):
Essential website 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.

How can I control cookies on my browser?
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. The following is information about how to
manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
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:
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
enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email
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
email 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 Website. 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. They can accomplish this by 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.
How often will 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.
Please therefore 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.
Where can I get further information?
If you have any questions about
our use of cookies or other technologies, please email us at mail@aldoleopold.org
