Cookies

We and our service providers use cookies and other technologies (such as web beacons) for various reasons. For example, we use cookies and other technologies to make it easy to access our services by remembering you when you return, to provide and analyze our services, to learn more about our users and their likely interests. We want you to be informed about our use of these technologies, so this notice explains the types of technologies we use, what they do and your choices regarding their use.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are commonly stored on your device when you browse and use websites and online services. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with service or advertising personalization.

Cookies are not the only types of technology that enable this functionality; we also use other, similar types of technologies. See below for more information and examples.

2. Why does The Poet’s Ring use cookies?

We and our service providers may use the following types of cookies:
• Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide our website or Online Community. For example, we or our service providers may use these cookies to authenticate and identify our members when they use our websites and applications so we can provide access to the Online Community. They also help us to enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and maintain the security of our service.
• Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are not essential, but help us to personalize and enhance your online experience with The Poet’s Ring. For example, they help us to remember your preferences and prevent you from needing to re-enter information you previously provided (for example, during member sign up). We also use these cookies to collect information (such as popular pages, conversion rates, viewing patterns, click-through and other information) about our visitors’ use of the The Poet’s Ring service so that we can enhance and personalize our website and service and conduct market research. Deletion of these types of cookies will result in limited functionality of the Online Community.
• Advertising cookies: We have implemented the use of Remarketing to deliver ads related to our services to visitors who have been to this website in the past 60 days. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to anonymously track visitor usage and show ads on websites affiliated with the Google Display Network. If you wish to opt-out of Google’s use of cookies, please visit Google’s Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

3. How Does The Poet’s Ring use Web Beacons and other Technologies?

Web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags) often work in conjunction with cookies. We and our service providers may use them for similar purposes as cookies, such as to understand and enhance the use of our service, improve site performance, monitor visitor traffic and actions on our site, and understand interactions with our marketing (including email and online ads on third party sites). Because web beacons often work in conjunction with cookies, in many cases, declining cookies will impair the effectiveness of web beacons.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
