What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites may place on your browser or device. They can be used to make websites function properly, remember information or preferences, understand how visitors use a website, and support services provided by third parties.
Similar technologies may perform some of the same functions without using traditional browser cookies.
How We Use Cookies
New Lehrhaus and the services we use to operate our website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.
Essential Website Functions
Some technologies are necessary for our website and online services to function properly, maintain security, process forms or transactions, and provide features you request. These include the cookies that keep members signed in to our video library.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors reach the site, and how the site performs. We use this information to understand and improve our website and communications.
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our website: which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the site, and how the site performs. Google Analytics sets cookies that tell one visit from another and can last up to two years. Google reports this information to us in aggregate. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.
Visitors in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are asked for their consent before Google Analytics runs. If you decline, Google Analytics does not run and no analytics cookies are set. For visitors elsewhere, Google Analytics runs when you visit the site. You can stop it at any time by blocking cookies in your browser or by installing Google’s opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To learn how Google uses this information, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-Party Services and Embedded Content
Our website may incorporate services or content provided by third parties, such as video players, registration forms, payment services, maps, or other embedded features.
When you interact with these features, the third-party provider may receive technical information about your browser or device and may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own privacy practices.
New Lehrhaus does not control cookies or other technologies placed directly by third-party services.
Information Collected
Depending on the technology involved, cookies and similar tools may collect information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device type;
- operating system;
- pages viewed;
- referring website;
- approximate geographic region;
- dates and times of visits; and
- interactions with website features.
Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Your browser or device may also provide additional privacy controls.
Blocking certain cookies may affect the operation of some features of our website or third-party services incorporated into it.
Where our website provides a cookie preference or consent tool, you may also use that tool to manage the categories of optional cookies available through the site.
Do Not Track
Some browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard governing these signals, our website may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.
You can use the cookie controls provided by your browser, device, or our website, where available, to manage tracking technologies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, services, or use of technology changes. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently updated.
