Effective Date: April 11, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Beach Life Daily (https://beachlifedaily.com/). This Cookie Policy explains how we (“we,” “us,” or “our”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. We use these technologies to enhance your user experience, analyze site traffic, and support the advertising that helps keep our content free. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (like login info, language, font size, and other display preferences) over time.

• First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (Beach Life Daily).
• Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as our analytics providers or advertising partners.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several key purposes:

1. Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities like page navigation, security, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies.
2. Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information anonymously. We use this data (e.g., via Google Analytics) to analyze traffic, identify popular content, and improve the website’s performance and usability.
3. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
4. Advertising Cookies: We partner with third-party advertising networks, specifically Google AdSense, to display advertisements on our website. These partners use cookies to provide relevant ads to you.
   • Google AdSense uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on our website. When users visit our site, a cookie may be dropped on that end user’s browser.
   • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
   • Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
   • These cookies collect non-personal data (like IP address, browser type, pages visited) to build a profile of your interests and show you ads more likely to be relevant to you.

Third-Party Cookies

As mentioned, some cookies placed on your device come from third parties like Google (for Analytics and AdSense). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they use information collected via their cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies. For more details on how data is shared, please see our main Privacy Policy.

Your Choices: Controlling Cookies and Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You have control over cookies and can manage your preferences:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for a website. You can typically find these controls in the “Settings,” “Options,” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. Consult your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions. Please be aware that if you disable all cookies (including essential ones), parts of our website may not function correctly.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: You can opt out of personalized advertising served by Google and other participating third-party vendors:
  • Visit Google’s Ad Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads to manage your Google ad preferences directly.
  • Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) opt-out portal: https://optout.aboutads.info/ (for users in the US/Canada).
  • Visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) opt-out portal: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
  • Visit the Your Online Choices website (for users in Europe): https://www.youronlinechoices.com/

Opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads, but rather that the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. When we make updates, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
