Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Harmony Flow Tai Chi Center. This Cookie Policy explains how we use 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.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully before using our website. By using our website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
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 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, Harmony Flow Tai Chi Center) 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).
We use different types of cookies for various reasons. The specific types of cookies we use are:
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping carts or secure logins, cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often. They help us improve how our website works, understand what interests our users, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests.
Here is a list of the main cookies that we use and what we use them for:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

You can also opt out of certain third-party cookies directly:
Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. For example, you may need to re-enter information that you previously stored, or certain features may not be available.
When cookies collect personal information, we treat this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") to track how you interact with our website and communications.
Web beacons are tiny graphic images that may be included on our website and emails. They allow us to count users who have visited certain pages or opened an email, helping us understand how effective our content and campaigns are.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no uniform understanding about how to interpret these signals. Therefore, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals or mechanisms.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes.
