Last updated: May 2018

Kicking Back the Pebbles may be using ad services and plugins that use cookies. Please be advised that in order to browse this website, you need to consent to the use of such cookies.

Kicking Back the Pebbles’ cookie policy explains what cookies are, how third-party partners may be using them on this blog, and what your choices are regarding cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third-parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”). Kicking Back the Pebbles uses third party cookies.

You should be aware that both websites and HTML e-mails (like the Kicking Back the Pebbles’ Newsletter) may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons”, or “pixels”. These are typically small transparent images that provide the third-party services with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, the web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How does Kicking Back the Pebbles use cookies?

When you visit Kicking Back the Pebbles, third-party & ad services may place a number of cookie files in your web browser.

These cookies are used for a number of different purposes: some cookies necessary for technical reasons—for example, to enable certain functions within Kicking Back the Pebbles, and to provide analytics. Some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. The cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a newsletter or blog post or comment for example).

What are your choices regarding cookies?

If you wish to delete cookies or default your web browser to delete and/or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your specific browser. Note however, that if you don’t allow sites to save cookies, some or several features on a webpage may not function.

*If you no longer wish to receive a newsletter, there should be an unsubscribe option at the bottom of any campaign.
