TensorPros LLC - Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 12, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how TensorPros LLC ("TensorPros," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (TensorPros.com and its subdomains, the "Site") and potentially in our electronic communications. This policy should be read alongside our main Privacy Statement which provides broader details on how we handle personal information.
By using our Site and consenting via our cookie management tools where applicable, you agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
We use various tracking technologies when you interact with our Site:
- Cookies: Small text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies managed directly by TensorPros are "first-party cookies," while those from our partners (like analytics or advertising providers) are "third-party cookies."
- Web Beacons (Pixels): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. They can track actions like whether an email was opened, a link was clicked, or a page was visited, often working in conjunction with cookies.
- Other Similar Technologies: We may also use other technologies like scripts or local storage that perform similar functions to cookies. We refer to all these technologies collectively as "Tracking Technologies" in this policy.
3. How and Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Tracking Technologies help us operate our Site effectively and provide a better experience for our users. Their functions include:
- Essential Operations: Enabling core Site functionality, ensuring security, and facilitating navigation. These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled if you wish to use the Site.
- Performance and Analytics: Helping us understand how visitors interact with our Site (e.g., which pages are visited most, how users navigate, identifying errors). This allows us to measure Site performance, analyze usage patterns, and improve our content, features, and overall user experience. Data may be aggregated for analysis.
- Functionality and Preferences: Remembering choices you make (such as language settings or region) to provide a more personalized and convenient visit.
- Advertising and Marketing:
- Allowing us and our advertising partners to deliver advertisements for TensorPros services that may be more relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity on our Site and potentially other websites (this is sometimes referred to as "Targeted Advertising" or "Retargeting").
- Helping to control the frequency with which you see certain advertisements.
- Measuring the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.
- Understanding user behavior after they view an advertisement or interact with our marketing communications (e.g., tracking email open/click rates, monitoring downloads from our Site that originate from a marketing link).
4. Linking Data and Third-Party Involvement
- Linking Data: Consistent with our Privacy Statement and applicable law, we may sometimes associate information gathered via Tracking Technologies with identifiable individuals, particularly in the context of marketing analysis (e.g., logging page views after a user clicks a link in a marketing email).
- Third-Party Technologies: Some Tracking Technologies used on our Site are operated by third-party companies who act as our service providers or partners. These include:
- Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics, helping us analyze Site traffic and usage.
- Advertising Partners: Ad networks and technology platforms that assist in delivering and measuring targeted advertising.
- Social Media Platforms: If we embed social media widgets or features (like "share" buttons), these platforms might set their own cookies.
These third parties collect information about your interactions based on their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of major providers like Google (Google Privacy & Terms) and any advertising or social media platforms identified in our cookie management tool.
5. Your Choices and Managing Cookies
You have control over the use of non-essential Tracking Technologies:
- Cookie Consent Manager: Our Site utilizes a cookie consent tool (often appearing as a banner on your first visit or accessible via a "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer). This tool allows you to review the types of cookies used and grant or withdraw consent for specific categories (Performance, Functionality, Advertising). Essential cookies cannot be opted out of via this tool.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers provide settings to manage cookies. You can typically view existing cookies, delete them, and configure your browser to block cookies from all or specific websites. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for guidance. Note that blocking or deleting cookies, especially essential ones, may impair the functionality of our Site.
- Opting Out of Targeted Advertising: To opt out of having your information used for targeted advertising purposes (which may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain state laws), you can use our Cookie Consent Manager to disable Advertising/Targeting cookies. You may also have rights as described in our Privacy Statement, potentially exercisable via a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link (if applicable) or by using an opt-out preference signal (see below). Opting out will not eliminate all advertising, but the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
6. Opt-Out Preference Signals (Global Privacy Control)
In accordance with applicable laws in certain jurisdictions (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Texas), we recognize legally mandated, browser-based opt-out preference signals, like the Global Privacy Control (GPC). When we detect such a signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information associated with that browser/device, primarily in the context of targeted advertising cookies and similar technologies.
Important points regarding GPC signals:
- They are browser- and device-specific. You need to enable the signal on each browser and device you use.
- An opt-out via GPC on one device does not automatically apply to other devices or limit potential cross-device linking unless those other devices also send the signal.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. We will post the updated policy on our Site, indicating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
